In this video I show you 3 ways which you can use a softbox for wedding photography. These setups are all simple and create beautiful light for your photographs.
As softboxes are large light sources, they create softer light than either bare speedlights or smaller modifiers. This soft light looks beautiful when used for wedding portraits.
All the photographs in this video were taken on my Sony A9II with my Sony 85mm f1.8 lens.
I lit the couple with a Godox V860 inside the MagBox Pro 42" octa softbox

Quick and very effective. I also love the 42-incher, the quality of light and amount of contrast you can achieve with a grid is almost unbeatable. Beautiful work Neil, as always. 👏
Hello for Los Angeles!
Thanks for the video, for my next wedding I’ll try taking the 24” definitely looking and hoping to get creative with it
that cute cat needs to be included in all future videos 🥰 very nice and informative video Neil, thanks a lot for sharing it with us, outstanding images in any way
Thank you so much! And I will try and convince Mabel to star in more videos 😂
@@NeilRedfern you`re very welcome man, and yes talk to Mabel please 😂❤
How wonderful you are, man ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your cat 🐈⬛ 🥰🥰🥰
Wow! Thank you so much for all these tips! Your work is awesome !
My pleasure - thank you so much!
You are a great photographer and keep experimenting. I Love the way you take pictures.
Very kind, thank you!
Superb Neil as always. Love the 42” Octa. Gunna blow the cobwebs off mine and practice.
Thank you so much Tony! The 42" is a cheat code for beautiful light 😍
Genius! Hello from Texas USA 😊😊😊
Thank you so much! 🇺🇸😍
No poltergeist behind the backdrop, perfect. :-D
What about a thank you to your Cat for thee intro ? 😜 she had a curtain call ! Stunning photos Neil ! ❤
You are right! I feel bad that I didn't credit her so promise she will be given more treats as a thank you 😂
How well they work together Neil! And we demand a Mabel shoot!
Haha, you've given me an idea.....! Watch this space 😂
@@NeilRedfern here we go!! :)
thankyou
My pleasure 🙌
I always love your style. Im not looking to shoot weddings, but portraits and maybe boudoir soon. Your videos are a gem and very helpful. The one question I have right now is, is the flash pointed directly at them, or do you have it feathered across them? Its always so hard to tell. Thanks in advance for your reply Neil. Keep it up !!!!
Thank you very much! Great question, in this video the light was pointing at them but I do love to feather the light and the light created using that technique can be stunning so I would suggest trying both ways to see which works best for you, but both would work great - the main thing is having the light source large and close
Hi Neal! As always awesome video! Question if task is to darken all scene and light only couple is it possible to use shoot through umbrella in tight space? Putting it very close.
Thank you very much! Good question - I would expect an umbrella to create beautiful light as the ligh😀t source is very large, but also more light spill - so I imagine it would work great outside but maybe tricky inside if you want to control the light. But I have never used an umbrella so I am only guessing. It would definitely be worth trying 😊
@@NeilRedfern thank you. Probably it has to be tested.
What of photoshop present ?
I skin smooth and clone out distracting elements in Photoshop
