5 EASY STEPS You Need to IMPROVE your FLASH Photography skills. Flash photography for beginners

Рет қаралды 87,341

There is an inherent apprehension especially with photographers who are just starting out with flash photography. It comes from the misconception that using flash is technical and very difficult. But that’s really the farthest from the truth. That’s why I made this video of 5 easy steps you just need to master in order to improve your flash photography skills: Aperture controls your flash exposure; Shutter speed controls Ambient Light; ISO is the last to be touched; Flash Power controls the power of your light; And the closer your light is, the stronger it is. Then you should be ready to start your flash journey.

I dont understand why people dislike such videos. You'd have to pay money to gain such knowledge, but Jiggie gives it for free and from the goodness of his heart.

You're a legend. I understand how to use flashes now, after only watching two (2) of your videos! Really well explained - thank you!

@johnnysparkleface3096 4 жыл бұрын

Finally, I've found the flash tutorial I've always wanted to see! I've always been confused about whether to make adjustments on the camera, or with the flash - meaning, how the camera and flash relate to each other. You've explained it all beautifully. Thank you, Jiggie, you're my new flash hero. I'm subscribing to your channel right now!

You are the best and intelligent instructor i have seen in youtube. I am living sydney do you have online course that i can enroll and learn. Also from this video, aperture control flash power if the flash is using in manual, if the flash is ttl then aperture will not affect flash exposure. Pls correct if i am wrong

I've got a bit cofused on the video tutorials that i've watched before your's. You've helped understand it more clearly. Thank you for reminding me that using full flash power drains the batterries fast. And i've learned from you, in order to avoid that, thats the time i need to increase my ISO. Thank Ji!
