Great stuff. I shot my son who does a little show with fire and used slow shutter (1/2 to 2 secs), second curtain and flash... Great results. Thank you for your work and time. Take care.
I have just started working my way with Flash this weekend, and I must credit you for the motivation as I always felt intimidated by them. This video couldn't have come on much better time :) Thanks mate.
Flash becomes faster when you use it in lower power settings. Most flashes at 1/8 can freeze anything, since most flashes at this power setting have around 1/4000 flash duration. I shoot a lot during night time and I crank up the ISO to capture the ambient light, so I can get around using a small Godox TT350 to freeze motion. Sometimes I can use it even at 1/128, which gives me around 1/20000 flash duration. The best tip for freezing motion with flash is to find a flash that can give you enough power at 1/8 for your use case (which ISO and aperture you usually use).
Hey Haze, thanks for another fantastic video and great images. I love the way you use a small octabox (with a grid), even with full length shots. Does this give you a completely even lighting over the length of the body or are you looking for a little fall off at the extremities.
The angle plays a little to cover the entire body, but yes, hard to have an even lighting with such a small softbox. Sometimes it's not a choice, I have to travel light, and the smaller the better on windy days. When I shoot indoors, and when I have an assistant I use the 90x120
Hk Visuals Well you still manage to get amazing results! It’s inspiring to see that you don’t have to have 3 lights and huge modifiers to get fantastic images.
There are multiple ways of doing that effect. Here, because of the amount of ambient light, I had to shoot in burst mode, and do a montage in photoshop.
Hello, your job is amazing! I'll like to start to experiment in freeze motion (at the moment I use this technic in product photography) in people, and also to shoot in sequence, I saw you use a broncolor lights, unfortunately I can't afford it, it's possible to use the Godox QT series to got the same results (freezing talking)?, if you have the possibility to do a video "how to" (like this one) but more step by step how to power the alternative light sources, and setup of them. Thanks a lot
Unfortunately I have never worked with Godox products... But I believe they are more than capable of achieving similar results. Thanks for the suggestion, I will think aout it ;)
Hi, I’m curious as to your markets. Do you mainly sell print art or is it mostly magazine and promotion? Maybe something else? I love your work and it would be great to move into this away from standard portraiture. Any advice? Thanks!
I see you use a Watcom tablet. I just purchased the same one, but have one hell of a time using it in my workflow? PS I'm, not the short cut remember guy? Thanks
Hi boys and girls, HD gallery and a few more details on my BLOG! hkvisuals.com/freeze-motion-with-without-a-flash/
Just found your channel. I shoot dance very long for events. But not really photoshoot. Your studio shoot n photoshoor for dance are awesome.
I have enjoyed your video very much I believe I have watched four them in a row which is very unusual for me. You do good work thank you
Glad you enjoyed them ;)
I’m always able to learn something and/or become inspired by your videos. Old videos or new videos, you keep delivering. Amazing work!
Awesome, thank you!
Hello, Thank you so much for the clear explanation! Very informative! God bless you!

Thank you! ;) I love it too !
i just found your channel...very nice and informative videos! Keep doing it please, thanks! Love the results.
Thanks man, reading your comments gives me a bit of energy to produce more videos like this one!
Your works are amazing, so much better than some popular UA-camr photographer, I just don't understand why you have not received more spotlight :)
Thank you my friend, That's the way it is unfortunately, I cannot explain it, and I stopped trying to understand ;)
Quantity doesn't mean quality, better a little group of real lovers than a crowd of followers who don't know shit
@@assoumanim exactly!

But still... I love working with huge modifiers !!! :p
love your work, who supplies the dresses or outfits
A mix... Usually the talent brings their own, and I add accessories!
@@Hkvisuals I am trying to think of someone's work I like better and I can't come up with anybody its a feast for the eyes succulent and juicy thanks
Quick question. You know the photos at 7:00, How do you actually do that? Photoshop after? Or just taken in one photo? Thanks for the help. Merci!
There are multiple ways of doing that effect. Here, because of the amount of ambient light, I had to shoot in burst mode, and do a montage in photoshop.
kool video.. thanks for sharing ..
You are welcome!
Haze, great video...what kind of tripod is that you're utilizing for low shots?
A manfrotto, but I can't remember the ref, I don't have it anymore.

Private sessions, dance companies and festivals, advertising and commercial work...
Hey love you shots and vids what tripod are you using that allows you to get that low to the ground?
Manfrotto 190 GO
Amazing tutorial, all I needed! :)
How do you find your models? :)
Thanks! Word of mouth, models find me, sometimes on Instagram or through recommendations ;)
I see you use a Watcom tablet. I just purchased the same one, but have one hell of a time using it in my workflow? PS I'm, not the short cut remember guy? Thanks
It takes time and practice, after a few years I cannot see myself not using a tablet for heavy retouching.
How did you get the entry to the awesome locations?
I just asked ;)
so basicelly you would want a shuttle speed around 1/600 and F-stop of 8.0 or greater to get less motion blur ? correct
Not quite... The F-stop it's up to you, and how much of you scene you want in focus. 1/500sec is a good start to freeze motion.
Haze, can you tell something about the tripod setup you use to get the really low angle shots?
It's the Manfrotto 190 GO!
Cool! Thanks going on my shopping list. Thanks :D
What lens are you using
It's all there: hkvisuals.com/freeze-motion-with-without-a-flash/
Hi, what is the flash used please ?
Broncolor SIROSL 800ws!
@@Hkvisuals Merci man
Hey man, really great suff here. Your images are WOW. May I ask you something and send a mail?
Better if you ask it here, my email is only for business inquiries
