How To Find Photography Clients
Переглядів 1633 роки тому
Back in in 2011 when I started out as a photographer I didn't have any clients. Now, I have a steady stream of new and repeat customers. In the beginning, sitting around, hoping clients would find me was never going to work. So, I directly contacted people who I thought I could help with my photography. That worked to some extent and is still something I occasionally do today. Since then, I hav...
Branding For Photographers
Переглядів 964 роки тому
Branding is not all about fancy logos, big budgets and catchy phrases. A good brand is one that you connect with, and one that you trust. For photographers, creating a brand is achieved by what you do, not what you say. You have to prove to your audience that they have a connection with you, and that they trust your work. It has to be authentic. This video explains how you can do it.

What diffuser did you use on the flash?
60cm ricebowl
Good job
Muchas gracias.
Muchas gracias
Interesting approach. Thank you and btw what a beautiful model.
4:53 why didn’t you just increase the shutter speed instead of closing down the aperture ?
because changing shutter speed doesn't affect flash exposure (as long as you stay below your sync speed), it only changes the ambient light. Changing ISO or aperture of flash power changes the flash exposure (as well as the ambient exposure).
Thankw very helpfull
very helpful! thanks!!
could you tell us about the white balance cuz flash does not seem whitish/silverish in colour n the skin tone seems to be good
I usually set y WB to flash. Just looked at the photo in Lr and Temp = 6700, Tint = + 3. You can add a warming gel / filter to your flash if you think your photos are too white / silverish.
This was incredibly helpful for me in preparing for a pop up photo booth today. We’ll see how all the ambient lights and colors play into the location, but I feel much more in control with this tutorial.
Great to hear. Hope the shoot went well.
Good video. All clear for manual. I assume if use TTL then that will correct the exposure based on settings and I can use flash EV to tweak if needed?
Thanks. Yes that approach would also work. I would suggest keeping the camera in manual mode though.
Great teacher-simple, clear, and visuals stuck like glue ! Xie xie ni
So if I understand correctly, the first shot was taken at f2.8, ISO 400 and Flash at 1/128. For the second shot you went down 2 stops in aperture to 5.6 and 2 stops in ISO to 100, so you reduced the exposure by 4 stops in all. However you only increased the flash power by 2 stops. Wouldn't the subject be underexposed by 2 stops then?
Good points. If you look at the shot form the second set up she is less brightly lit compared to the first. It's a bit more of a moody shot.
Thanks for the video. What would you do differently if you were shooting film and did not have a digital camera?
I'd use a light meter in that case.
@@andrewmason1000 An ambient light meter would give you the proper exposure for the background. A flash light meter would give you the proper exposure for the subject in the foreground. How would you determine the proper lighting ratio between the two exposures? How would you correct for film reciprocity failure if the film is sensitive to ultra-short and/or ultra-long exposures times?
@@Narsuitus good points re the flash and ambient exposure readings. I’m not sure film reciprocity failure would be an issue as the shutter speed would not be extremely short or long. Depending on the aperture and ISO combination it’s usually between 1/80s and 1/250s in this dimly lit tunnel to get enough ambient light in the shot and prevent motion blur. Having said that, I have never shot off camera flash using film so may not be best placed to answer.
@@andrewmason1000 Some of the color films I have used have had problems with reciprocity failure with short exposures due to the flash units. For example, at full-power, the flash duration my be 1/1000th second. When the flash power is set to ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/16, 1/132, 1/64, and 1/128th power, the flash intensity is reduced by decreasing the flash duration from 1/1000th second to as short as 1/128,000th second. The film had no problem with 1/1000 flash duration but suffered reciprocity failure with the shorter flash durations.
@@Narsuitus Good point and thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't thought about reciprocity failure caused by flash duration, only by shutter speed.
You are the best 😊
Excellent tutorial !!!! Many thanks !!!! I just want to say that, this tutorial applies to my DSLR, now, with my Fuji X100, it's a completely different story.......I don't have to do any of that. Nothing at all, just turn the camera on, set it on full auto, turn the built in flash on and.....voila !!!!! perfect pictures every single time, shot after shot, it's like magic !!!!! Love that incredible camera !!!!!!
absolutely spot on. there are so many video tutorials about ballancing of abient light and flash, and none of them say it as succinctly as this! well done, and yes i have subscribed. onwards n upwards.
Thanks Noel!
Was it an 1/8 second or 1/80th? Subtitles not helpful and sadly my hearing not great. I’m guessing if it was an 1/8th, then it’s likely background would be blurred so you’d need to up the ISO. I think I’ve answered my own question 😊 Great video.
Hi, it was 1/80s
@@36exp thank you so much!
By far the best and simplest video I've see explaining this with great examples. Thank you!
Thanks, glad you like it!
I've been using UA-cam for many years to learn to use on & off camera flash with speedlights. In the many hundreds of searches I've performed on the subject you have never shown on the results till this week. I've watched and saved all of your videos on this subject. They're some of the best beginner flash tutorials I've watched over the past ten years. They're well presented with lots of very useful information. I don't see how any beginner couldn't watch these 4 or 5 short videos and immediately start taking portraits shots. I'm surprised I've not seen your instruction on sites like Udemy.
Thanks Jack. Sadly don't have time to make many videos as out taking photos most of the time.
@@36exp I'm happy for you. Making money doing what you enjoy, most people don't have that experience. Best of luck and good health to you and yours.
How about the white balance setting? Auto? Especialy when we have tungsten background the wb was strange. @geru2000
Well explained. Thanks
Awesome video! Photos look great. Did you use any sort of modifier?
Thanks! Yes a 105cm collapsible octabox.
Amazing! Thank you!
thank you for the effort and the sharing. very well done. BIG thumbs up.
Gr8 explanation! Wondering which white balance setting you used in your Nikon, in mine, when I add the flash, the picture becomes warmer.
Flash White balance, but I always shoot in raw so I can adjust later.
There are two light sources with different temperature so go with the WB og the flash which is the subject. The background at the distance as a combination of light sources to they will always be off but that adds to the overall mood of the scene. The flash was 5500k so the skin comes out right, Getting WB right as shot simplifies post processing and can impact retained dynamic range,
Brah! Thanks for sharing this video, do you highly recommend this VS Neewer flash version? I'm a huge fan of Bowens...
Haven't tried the Neewer flashes so can't comment. Bowens, Elinchrom, Pixapro, Godox and Profoto are all good in our experience.
I'd probable go for Godox right now in terms of good value and good quality
Full support hai bhai ❤️👍 #khwahish_editor
So it's more of just taking a few test shots to get perfect. So just keep testing until it's good?
You could use a light meter, or your camera's meter, but the key thing is to get the exposure of the ambient light correct first, then the flash. Not both at the same time.
Short and to the point. Things I wish you would have talked about: Was the flash in TTL? Was your settings without flash a black frame, or are you mixing ambient with flash? I love seeing the use of an umbrella. Thanks
Great shots. Looks beautiful there. I need to get out there one day.
Beautiful shots!
Awesome 😎
very helpful..cheers mate
Great tutorial
Well, I liked it! Over 14k views and only 400 likes, that ain't good, you deserve some more. Keep it up.
Thanks for that. Simple and to the point.
No problem, glad you liked it!
Cool & Thanks! What gears did you use?
Godox AD200 and XPRO trigger with a 65cm parabolic softbox
@@36exp Thanks for taking your time to reply me back.
Thank you this was very helpful!
Great info...lighting is something I really want to improve when I get the funds to level up!
Thanks Sean. Godox is great value kit when you want to invest.
What light and trigger did you use
Godox AD200 flash and XPRO trigger
@@36exp awesome thank you! I literally just ordered one lol
@@JerryC25 good choice!
Thanks
Thank you so much! This was an excellent video. Very helpful.
Natasha is beautiful.
Do you set flash zoom at all or just keep it to match the lens?
As the flash is being fired into an umbrella set it to a wide zoom setting such as 24mm or even 14mm with the pull out wide angle diffuser
For of camera flash I would set to it's widest setting, which could be 24mm or 14 mm if you use the pull out plastic flash diffuser
Look forward to seeing more videos.. ❤️
Thanks. Stay connected...
Thank you !!!
Great advice! Thank you! I've been consistently getting out there on social media since March so hopefully that'll pay off when lockdown (in all its many forms) finally ends! I enjoyed my few MeetUps which you ran back in the good old days when we were 'free to roam' so I've subscribed.
