    This is exactly the kind of demos we need - challenging situations and your thought process navigating through them. And of course, the execution. Awesome, Taylor and Tim - thank you!

    This is the right kind of videos that we need! Straight to the point, real life scenario and a tough one, and very informational. Love this man, keep going!

    Super useful video and much appreciated. I have had luck with low bounces as well - like off a toilet or light-colored gravel at dusk (for kids anyway). Also anything metal like stainless refrigerators or exposed ducts (basically a silver reflector). With the V1, I find direct flash with double diffusion (diffuser+dome) seems to looks pretty acceptably good. Direct flash in general is OK with me but there are times when the red eye is just horrible. Also bought a huge piece of white foam to use as an oversized bounce card ever since that log cabin shoot I did. Most of the pics were high ISO + soft but acceptable.
    As you showed and what I would think is best practice - always shoot subjects near a light source whenever possible in a crappy room. I'd rather have a shot that included a lamp than none at all. I'd even be willing to shine a flashlight on someone or a small group if that made the difference.

    Great resourcefulness. I've sometimes walked into venues - for weddings and otherwise - and felt like I had been sentenced to hard labour. This shows there IS a way.

    A little mini hazer might add some texture to the b/g, catch some light rays spilling in the window.

    You can bounce flash of of wood and the color black. I've done weddings when all there was wood. Best to use DXO PhotoLab or DXO PhotoLab with Deep PRIME noise reduction. Trust me it works.

      Same. I actually like it when the ceilings or walls are wood-colored

    can I ask what standard you use for your flash? I'm looking for one and I don't seem to find the correct search-terms to find something similar?
    Thanks for the video btw, having my first wedding photography 26th of february, bought all your courses and feeling prepared and assured; thanks so much!

    Hey Taylor! Thanks for the video. Qq in situation like barns would it be better to use direct flash with Magmod diffuser than bouncing it off wood? I am a relative beginner in flash so trying to understand the options :)

    I'm excited to try OFC this year. I mostly prefer amgient, so I'm imagining just doing backlit scenes with a cinematic flair.

    A really good video actually. Not just a normal “how to” video, but one that’ll probably end up being a life saver for someone lol

    Very informative - thanks for covering these typical scenarios ❤ would you choose the V860 over the V1, or why did you choose this flash? Big thanks

    • @TaylorJacksonPhoto

      I’m happy with either of them. This was also a filmed a day before the v1 pro was announced

      Haha for me I picked it as I could reuse the Magmod accessories which was meant for rectangular type flash!
