Do you prefer a natural look with blended flash, or a dramatic, contrasty powerful flash? Comment your answer below for a chance to win the macro flash #WL48 waterproof LED light.
I like both the natural ambient light look but I also love dramatic skies so my answer would have to be I like both and I will do both depending in the mood and working conditions.
I like the dramatic, contrast powerful flash like because of the dimension it adds to the images. They images don't look so flat and it gives it some form of depth.
I LOVE how you used the 3 lights on a stand in 3 different locations in order to get any shot from any angle! That's so helpful when you are a stand alone photographer without an assistant! Great tips and great shots!
Without doubt natural light for church and everything else a mix of ambient and flash for more impactful images where lighting is challenging and controlled through my trusty ad200 and ad400 pro flash units. Currently sat waiting for a flight to undertake a wedding and a fashion shoot thank god for godox making it so much easier. If you are reading this and don't own any godox units you are missing out.
I love balancing natural light with the fill of a flash. That way you get to show off the incredible scenery that the couple has chosen to host their event at, but you don't lose any detail!
I prefer natural light and flash blended if the situation asks for it. I used to shoot bare bulb 20 years ago. Now with the variety and portability of light modifiers I have a lot of options. I only use a strong contrasty flash in very dark venues during nighttime.
Natural look almost all the time. Even in studio emulate a windows light with a flash is because in my head I'm thinking in natural light. And I need the technology to help me in this country when most of the time is cloudy and is raining.
I like the contrast dramatic flash look for two reason. 1) As a new photographer I have shot 5 events (4 indoor, 1 outdoor) those indoor events had dim to terrible yellowish lightings my V1 carry’s me. 2) I would honestly say lack of confidence at this young point of my photography journey. Natural light scares me cause of the potential changing dynamics + working with a client(s) the pressure to know instantly what settings to switch too the sun has disappeared behind a cloud, oh no now it back harsher than before. While client(s) waiting watching me is nerve racking. After watching the video I will go out and practice some more with blending flash and natural look.
It all depends on the subject for me, subjects have their attributes that are flattering in a specific light. I personally prefer the more contrasty flash look myself.
sometime I prefer the natural look with blended flash style but my always go to style is a dramatic style. that is my mostly used off camera flash style specially for wedding day.
I personally prefer natural look with blended flash for portraits where my goal is to capture realistic and flattering photos. I use flash to fill in shadows and additional lighting without overpowering the natural light or sometimes harsh shadows.
Hi GODOX :) It depends on the situation and some conditions. But dramatic, contrasty powerful flash shots attracts more attention, so this is my answer. Have a great day! And for sure you should have more subscribers and view. Really good film!
Your photography and lighting are excellent! As a long time pro who's shot a ton of weddings I appreciate your creativity with poses and lighting. Great work!
For A Wedding I prefer a soft natural look. As making those moments as natural as possible. but for couple shots if I have a nice bokeh or nice sky I'd definitely shoot some dramatic pictures too.
Sarah Edmunds is one of my favorite photographers out there. I love to strike a balance between natural light and flash whenever possible. I also love the flashy, contrasty look, but not overdone
So my personal favorite is the dramatic look with flash. But sometimes depends on the situation or what kind of photoshoot I am doing so then it is like going with the flow, And also many times it depends on the client did they want dramatic pictures or more on the natural side. But If anyone asks me what kind of look I prefer, I love a dramatic look with a little bit of moody look. And Most of the time I do my all shoots with ad400pro, And when It is needed so I use ad400+ad300pro both.
For Indian wedding a more contrasting flash look great cause of the coloured attire the bride and groom are wearing. I shoot with godox 685ttl and 600 manual flash both can be controlled with godox X1 trigger
I prefer a dramatic look with flash. This is mainly acomplished with the direction of light from an off-camera flash and it doesn't have to be overpowering. It provides a level of professional finish that my clients and their familes can't replicate with their smartphones. I do also use subtle fill flash for a natural blended look when appropriate, sometimes shooting TTL with as much as -2ev flash compensation to just kiss the subject with light and perfect what was "almost" perfect available light.
I personally prefere to keet it as natural as possible, but with using the flash just to fill in the shadows and harsh uneven lighting on the faces, and add just bit of contrast. My go to on weddings is AD200, which small and compact, and help manure easy and fast.
For architecture and fashion photography I prefer a natural look with blended flash, for fine art I prefer a dramatic flashed look. I love experiment the opposite too. The Godox family of Pro strobes is so dynamic and powerful that let me try and innovate with a lot of possibilities in location.
I’m trying to comeback to shoot weddings again. My dad and I had a photo studio in New York years ago. So I have been buying photo gear and basically the only thing I’m missing is a good lighting tool to help me get soft natural lighting on my photography.
During bridal formals, I love a blended ambient/flash look. During the reception, definitely a dramatic/contrasty look! Thank you for this video, I love how you lit the different parts of the wedding day!
Love the consistent look of all the photos! I love the natural look blend of the flash, because unlike the contrast rich flash photos, it doesn't look like the photo was digitally manipulated.
Personally my go to and preference when shooting is a more natural look blended with flash beause for me it looks more pleasing. I like my images bright. With the use of flash as a soft fill to my images it gives makes my subjects pop out more by making them a little bit brighter than the background.
For me a well balanced lighting not looking fake is more important. Visually appealing pictures, especially in wedding is the prime requirement and for that even a high contrast look at times to highlight a certain aspect is welcome. So it is more about what works in the given scenario.
I prefer a more natural look with blended flash for the majority of my shots, but depending on the scenario/environment, I'm not opposed to the dramatic, contrasty,, powerful flash. Great video.
I love my Godox lighting at weddings and I prefer a natural look with fill lights. The reception lighting Sarah used with a 3 light setup is something I must try at my next wedding!
Derek this is a game changer! Four lights is better with a big room, and you can do it with two on opposite sides, but in that case maybe an on camera fill flash as well on a low setting.

Totally agree!
I feel that one can create more interesting pictures when under restriction or short of equipment/tools. So I prefer natural light with minimum gear.
Very simple, natural look. I am using 3 AD200 Pro. For me these are enough. 😊
Amazing work.. thanks for sharing, I prefer both looks... soft n natural look during day light and dramatic look indoors like dance floor,etc..
I love balancing natural light with the fill of a flash. That way you get to show off the incredible scenery that the couple has chosen to host their event at, but you don't lose any detail!
So true!
I like a combination of both. Natural and blended during the day and then some more drama with the lighting in the evening.
💘I prefer a natural look with blended flash💘
It really comes to the subject matter and the concept. Though the natural look with blended flash is definitely my go to
i love dramatic, contrasty powerful flash light
A soft light to blend for that natural feel.. aaahhhh
Great video, great location. To answer the question - I prefer a natural look with blended flash. Love my AD200pro and TT350.
I believe in having a more contrasty dramatic flash look.
I like both ways of shooting but with godox anything is possible. Great photos at this wedding. Thanks for the lesson and congratulations
thank you! so happy you enjoyed it
I love both. I choose which one to use based on what the photo shoot is for, client's preferences and location.
Learning photography and I prefer a natural look with blended flash .
I do love the dramatic light with fill in with a flash (I use the AD400 pro heavy but powerful)
I would rather go with flash look and contrasty, anyways, that is excellent video, it also inspiring me, love it!
i prefer the dramatic look that flash gives...almost true to what our eye can see and envision.
I prefer natural light and flash blended if the situation asks for it. I used to shoot bare bulb 20 years ago. Now with the variety and portability of light modifiers I have a lot of options. I only use a strong contrasty flash in very dark venues during nighttime.
I like natural light but love watching and learning all about these products.

I prefer the natural blended look, I use Godox ad600 ,200 and on camera flash for my weddings, they are perfect.
Well blended look is the best.
It all depends on the subject for me, subjects have their attributes that are flattering in a specific light. I personally prefer the more contrasty flash look myself.
a dramatic look is my preferred lighting setup when it comes to weddings hence a one-light setup with the ad300 pro is best.
No doubt: I prefere natural light and If necessary, a well blended flash, that gives that pop, but doesn't look like flash
I am a fan of the off camera flash contrasty look. At times I may try and get the natural look.
I would prefer either, depending on the situation and the mood I'm trying to capture.

Luz Natural es mi preferencia !
