In this video I show you how I create a number of off camera flash composite portraits, each taken with the MagBox Pro 42" Octa. All the composite photographs in this video consist of two images, which I blend together using Layers in Adobe Photoshop.
At the end of the video I show you exactly how to edit the images together in a Photoshop tutorial.
All the photographs in this video were taken on my Sony A9II camera with my Sony 50mm f1.2 GM lens and Sigma 135mm f1.8 lens with the Godox AD200 off camera flash and MagBox Pro 42" softbox.
This was my first time shooting at the beautiful Location House - a huge thank you to the venue for all their help: / thelocationhouse
A huge thank you to Elle for modelling and my partner Helen Williams for filming this video:

I understand that everyone has their own workshop, but it could have been done with the same set but with boom. This solves the problem in terms of lighting and the complementary light would be from the window or the second option - put the lamp through the window outside since - I'm guessing there was such a possibility - if not, my comment is unnecessary. What a beautiful place, model and bravo.

Found one tip to shoot composite without tripod if you have assistance. Use single point (instead of EYE AF or traking) mode AF locate the point on face. Make shot, remember composition and just on second shot locate af point again on face. Also recommended to use evf and stay in evf between the shots while assistant is moving light away. I think main is to don't change the height of camera

This is another great video, thanks for putting it together. How do you set your WB on a shoot like this? Is it set for the ambient light, or for the flash?

Beautiful photos and I love the way you teach. Just want to add in that I think now days you can do it without a tripod and just Photoshop AI to remove the flash Keep the vids coming!

Thank you very much! Yes you are correct and I often do that, also my latest video is about the new generative AI feature in Lightroom. I do find however that it still isn't perfect so if I have the time I still prefer to take two exposures and use a tripod - but AI is getting very very good!

In this particular shoot why you dont use mag sphere instead of this learg soft box ?? This will much easier to shoot and you can easly hide it behind this wall as well

@NeilRedfern 9 ай бұрын

If I did that the light source would be a) smaller and b) further away, meaning that the light quality wouldn't be as good

He's going 1000 words a minute and not saying anything. And maybe it's just me, but his accent just makes it hard to follow / listen to him for any long duration of time.

Are you kidding me? you have unrealistically expensive equipment, a beautiful room full of light, and you complicate everything! For me, this approach is simply not acceptable. There is an expression: "to wear underpants over your head." That's exactly what you're doing!

@NeilRedfern 9 ай бұрын

😂 I'm guessing you're not a fan of this shoot 😂 you do realise (I know you do as you have been subscribed to me for over 3 years) that my channel is about demonstrating techniques so that others can learn. If everything I did was natural light it wouldn't be very interesting...

@Jonners 9 ай бұрын

? Pretty much industry standard camera equipment for a wedding. Nothing complicated here. Neil is an amazing photographer and having worked along side him, know that he (and others) can achieve images like this is many situations, even in “normal” settings of a typical wedding. How is this approach “not acceptable”?, it’s not out of the realms of a wedding.

@pmjon8420 9 ай бұрын

I'm not sure why you think Neil's equipment is expensive? The vast majority of full time professional wedding photographers have this kind of set-up. The only difference being different manufacturers. I have learnt so much from Neil and find him to be very knowledgeable and personable. In fact he's a very positive yet humble guy. Maybe he should do a youtube lesson to teach you how to be the same? 🤔
