I'm just starting out. I have been told I have "an eye" for photography. I got the lumix g95. I am fixing to shoot fixing to shoot my first gig. Like you said, nervous! It's weeks away and I'm looking for poses and affordable accessories i can use. I don't have everything i saw in your video, but I'm not expected too either. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video. Very informative and you take time to explain. Was the GoPro attached to your camera or chest? And. I tend to struggle with flash settings, did you use TTL settings? Thanks for your time
So the GoPro if I remember correctly was attached to a side handle, and then used the max lens mod accessory on my GoPro 10 to allow me to change orientation without the video getting warped. But now I have a much simpler setup! And as for the flash settings, if you're in a run-and-gun type situation I highly recommend you just slapping on TTL and keeping it moving, but if you have some time then I would definitely recommend playing with flash in manual. First adjust for the ambient lighting, then adjust the power of the flash to your subject.
Thank you! When everyone is on the dance floor, I typically position 2 or 3 lights around the corners of the dance floor, and I place a flash on top of my camera. I don't modify the lights with a diffuser or anything like that, however I do position the lights to point upwards at the ceiling to help bounce light downwards. If I happen to step in front of a flash, I turn off that particular flash and simply use the flash that's on my hot shoe. So I'm always turning on-and-off the flashes as I position myself around the dance floor. Now whenever it's just my model and I, I use an only one light with a 32 inch soft box and position that 45 degrees from my model. I want to keep things as simple as possible! Hopefully that helps.
Good morning, what model of flash did you use? Did you bounce the flash or did you use it in the octabox, gracias im from Tijuana Baja California México, saludos...
I use godox/flashpoint lights. Excellent quality, and they get the job done consistently. And I typically just bounce flash because I want to have a smaller footprint. Rigging up an soft box is too cumbersome sometimes.
It's definitely something that I've been trying to work through for sure! And no matter what, I always seem to get caught up in my head for sure. So the way I combat this, is to try and overcompensate by planning everything meticulously.
Yes!!! Networking with the Vendors goes a Long Way! Great Tip! 💯
Absolutely!! It's the easiest way to network with other people in the same business space as you!
lovely shots on the stairs with the flowers . well done
Thank you so much! It was extremely packed on that stairwell, but I'm happy things turned out well!
Your best pro advice: keep it simple. Thank you, brother, for a great reminder.
That's my motto, I always try and keep things as simple as possible. I found myself getting too stressed out when I began to overcomplicate things.
Nice and Simple 💪👍

Love your video style man.

Funny enough, I’ve worked in this venue earlier this year. Tight area when you walk in but you can make it work.
Yeah the venue is a little tight, but you can definitely get some awesome shots if you get creative with it!
Good stuff

Your Images are clean! How do you position and modify lights?
