Use a contract to help in situations like this.
this is not a big deal... at all! I only ever used TTL as a starting point for my key light when I dont have a light meter on hand. No need to have TTL on other strobes, but thats me. Not a deal breaker at all

Bro, I have a question… if the HSS is enabled in the trigger and we are shooting below the HSS speed say 1/160 .. Do we get HSS strobe flash light or Normal Flash light ????
@@TamilTop5 that’s a great question and I always wonder about that so I just turn it straight off lol
definitely want to try one of these, but i may build my own since i'm using micro4/3rds. the photos look good, definitely not 1:1 with film, but it looks like a fun lens.
I dont like to think that the battery die forever and you cant change for a fresh ones... like in one of those new mics: the battery dies, the equipment die.
Great analysis. That 50 1.8s might be the best lens I have ever used. I recently switched to Nikon and got the Zf with the 50 & 40mm f2. I picked up a few G lenses to replace my most used lenses such as the 85 1.8 G and after using that 50 1.8 I shot almost all of my portraits on that lens even though it isn't my favorite focal length. The images almost have that 3D pop with them. Besides the glass though how much difference do you think the Z mount itself looks better than adapted lenses? Even my non S lenses in Z mount seem to look better than the G mount lenses.
nice video dude! prob going to pick one of these up soon. Looks fun

Subscribed on the strength of this interview and your content. Great job Bro!
That was a good refresher. And thanx for taking the effort to make this. But something that piqued my interest was the way the tree behind her head which is on the other side of the lake became brighter by just increasing the flash to full power. Refer RAW images DSC_2617 & DSC_2618 (between time 6:51-6:58) Any thoughts or insights on that?
Don't rely on clients for your portfolio images , because when they are paying they are the boss , start asking friends and family , or advertise Photographer looking to expand family Portrait portfolio , 50% off but Client Must be willing to sign Model release.
is this compatible with canon eos r100?
if it takes the R Mount then yes
Great video and demo. Agree 100%. Must have gadget for me. I've tried multiple blowers and this is THE BEST. I've had this for a few months now and find it invaluable. Use it mostly for equipment and lens cleaning. Does a great job on camera sensors as well.
im scared for using it on the sensor lol
Great review....I ordered it before I saw your video....but loving what I see!!! did you use a Strobe or a constant light for the last images you had in your video?
@@tabasco1914 strobe
@@RyanTroy Great shots!!!.. I should be getting mine this weekend.
each job requires the right tools.
I’m confused: which lights was the Ad200? Also what continuous light you used?
Hey Ryan. I absolutely think you are justified in charging a fee. I mean, not being able to share your previous work could cause you to lose out on work in the future, if people can't get too good of a read on your work. I know you have plenty out there to show your talent, but it's still limiting. Especially, if it's in a unique location, or weather, etc. I actually think $50 is too small of a fee. Btw, I shot my first wedding recently. I did ok, especially for not knowing I was the photographer until I was there. (It was one of my closest friends, I wasn't angry, but let him know I wasn't accepting any responsibility if they were junk. 😊) Take care my friend.
@@Pantheragem lol did you make good money? And what do you suggest besides $50
@RyanTroy I made NOTHING! HA! It's ok though. I got something out of the experience, and, wasn't under any pressure for editing the RAWs, etc. Well I don't know what your pricing structure is, but to me, for the reasons I wrote, I think $100 sounds more fair to you. They're basically covering a little loss of advertising, that you're incuring.
Hire some models for your portfolio.
Excellent review. I use Nikon flashes, but I keep them as keepsakes-still expensive and there is not doubt about their quality. But, I’ll get a Godox in case. As inexpensive as Godox flashes are, It won’t break me if the Godox kisses concrete or drowns in a lake. Great review!
Thanks for reporting. Non issue for me as I like to dictate light control on my own terms!
If anyone would be harpin' on paying $50 for "poor quality" would be missing the point. The way I see it you get the nostalgic/soft film/cheap dispo look without editing for that look. To me that's a lot of time saved. If we were taking this fun lil lens too seriously lol
Lol that smile AI is a menace lmfao
Great video, love the setup on your camera rig can I ask what it is ? Also great content thanks for sharing
@@marlinwoodruff2292 just a small rig cage with a nato rail
looks like another technique good to keep in your back pocket for another type of look. thanks.
@@manilamartin1001 anytime!!
Some people love those high shutter speeds and dark backgrounds for the dramatic look.
What size softbox you using
@@CAMphotography_ this is a snoot. There was no softbox
@@RyanTroy I 100% commented this on the wrong video lololol I was watching another video and clicked on yours and forgot to click off before I commented the question
Interesting! Thanks for the info! 🇨🇦
She refused to show the actual raws, in order to show how the photographer had edited (& presumably improved them) to her advertised style. Instead she only showed another edited photo and then complained that she had actually wanted edit style #2, not edit style #1 which she hired that photographer for. I keep getting the sense that she loved the photos initially then decided that she wanted a different style, thought online photo editing is easy/cheap enough to learn so then "why did i spend $8k on this photographer? when i can do it to my tastes myself..." and is now wanting the raws to do that exact thing, while also trying to get some sort of monetary return from the photographer to make her go away and stop spreading bad word of mouth about her business on social media, which is the location that she uses to her get clients.
Well done. Such a laid-back delivery. No nonsense. Thank you for your informative tutorial.
@@trdougherty thank you!
You should do a model call for the type of photography you're trying to promote. This way you can avoid these situations. We get about two a year who will not let is post do to religion.
How do you not get the banding with the Z8. I cannot shoot with my AD200 and the FJ200 / Fj400 withOUT getting banding in HSS. I'm trying to stop sports action in daylight with off camera flash.
@@leannaslaterphotography I heard about this from someone else and they showed me but I haven’t ran into any with either of the z8s I use
@@RyanTroy So you can shoot 1/1000 or up to 1/8000 shutter without banding? If so, I need some guidance on your setting. Please! I have tried so many different setting and lights. If I go over 1/250, I get banding. :(
@@leannaslaterphotography I haven’t shot 8000 but I have shot 4000 do you have Instagram? If so send me a message @ryantroy_
Hi Ryan. I’m new here. I’ll have to follow you on IG. I’m still putting together my in home photography studio. I just asked this question on another channel. Here is my idea. People don’t like to pay more sooooo my idea is to offer a discount for the social media release. I’m new to this and I’ve never done paid photography so it’s easier for me. You’d have to raise your prices across the board and then offer the discount. What do you think?
A few people suggested that and although that would probably work, I run into clients that don't read much lol they see a price and either feel they can afford it or not. many people ask me after the session is over how many photos do they get. its sad lol
I would honor the clients wishes. I wouldn't charge more for it. You might put in your contracts moving forward for that option. Just to let the client know.
no need to add an extra fee for that... if it's in your contract terms that you will "use for promotional reasons" and they sign it then you can post any content from that session.. if they don't agree with you posting their images, then they shouldn't book. i use to come across this alot. yes its very frustrating, i would also explain to them the copyright law about public display of your the photographers work
AMAZING PHOTOS. That make up looks gorgeous on her.
@@RumbaniNdhlovu 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you!
I like the idea of charging more to keep pictures private…. OR. just charge more and if they want to keep private it’s no big deal because you charge more anyway
I would honor it, but I will make it clear to them on private showing i will share some of the photos and on my website I will make a statement that some photos I do not share openly on social media only in person this usually works for me almust every time in cases they don't want anything share I tell them I have to charge more we call it a privacy feed thanks for sharing👍🙏
I charge for it if the client is not willing for me to post it. Just send it out on terms of services or contracts before they pay and they can choose to pay it or not work with you at all which most of the time they say its on and those that dont want me to post the content always pay.. but 80% are ok and the 20% pay for me no to post. 1 in 15 people would have a problem with it and not book at all. But as long as they know if the begining they are usually cool with it
Just wondering if the same look can be achieved by shooting at f/11 on a current lens and then slapping on a preset?
lol negative lol the quality of our lenses are too good this lens is pretty much plastic. I shoot f8-11 for all of my beauty shots to create very sharp beautiful images.. you cant focus with this lens so nothing is sharp
@@RyanTroy Got it, that makes sense. I’m just trying to save $60.00…😂
I would say charge for the session knowing you cannot post the photos. The work is for the client. Half my work I can’t post. I am fine with that as the images are for the client. With that said I do test shoots with people creating the images I want to sell. I suggest doing test shoots making the images you want to promote with the looks you want to showcase. Work with people or models that for your client demographic and make promotional content. This can also allow you to be more creative and try new things and not worry about it not working out or worry about messing up a client shoot. My first boudoir photos were with models and doing tests shoots that got me the portfolio I needed to get the clients I wanted. Some looked like models and some looked like average people so I could showcase my talent. I find it better to focus on the client as the client. It is a blessing if you can share the photos on your socials. Otherwise I shoot specific to promote and can be more creative and be more expressive with the promo shoots. That is my 2 cents. Spend it how you like. Great channel BTW. 😁
I have an inexpensive QS400II Flash for $139 or soemthing back in the day when my Calumet light blew. Its heavy as Hell to carry (not really, but its heavier than my Alien Bee and Flashpoint Xplor300
I was about to say "don't charge more for second shooting weddings, just continue to build and get your own.." But the responses below made me shut my mouth. There are many good suggestions too. Discounting your rate in return so you can get the footage you want and need, and also do a session or two on your own to obtain your own photos I'm going to give advice I haven't done myself...create some engagement and family test shoots with friends/family or people you cast and create the content you need
In your contract, note your possible usage along with a buyout option. If you truly want images for marketing, hire or trade with people to create the styled images that you want.
Personally I am still learning the business side of things. From what I see online charge 50 to 150 percent of the project worth. technically when that happens your kind of giving them rights. What I normally do is just walk away until that project finally shows up. keep in mind every no is one step closer to a YES. Last year I struggled to get a project where an interview is the main thing they want. Did a spec documentary(its not completed yet) for my pops and interview type project come in more. Also consider doing spec projects if possible. Once I am free I plan doing plenty of spec project to show and grow.
