It’s amazing how much the entry level photographer is frightened by off-camera flash. When they want to improve the quality of their outdoor portraits they would rather pay $1500 for a portrait lens than simply pop for an inexpensive flash & modifier. If they will give a flash a try and allow themselves to make mistakes they will easily gain an understanding of how it works.

At the end of last year's summer I bought a 15 foot beach umbrella that I mounted to a grocery cart (that I use to haul my lighting gear in outdoor shoots). In direct sun, I open the umbrella, put it between the sun and my subject, use two shoot through umbrellas (weighted down!--the weights are part of my lighting gear, in the shopping cart), and the results are great. For $7.50 (US), I have instant shade wherever and whenever I need it.

Also demonstrates no matter how good an iphone shot can be, the laws of physics will prevail. That is, there is no easy "App" on the phone to diffuse harsh sunlight.

I'm trying to figure out what time of day to schedule the photoshoot. I think I'd like to start later in the day so we would have time for hair and makeup but I don't know, it gets hotter later in the day. So many things to think about. I know enough to know I want to bring an off camera flash and the scrim thing you used. I was also wondering about high speed sync. I might have to borrow my Dad's high speed sync strobe. I am going to have my daughter assist me, the client said she doesn't want a big crew.

As I posed on Petapixel: Excellent presentation. Addresses one of the most difficult location lighting scenarios out there. BTW, Mair and all the models from all the photography presentations, on all the KZfaq channels, should at least publish their names and contact info on each youtube video in the "SHOW MORE" section and one or two other major web sites. I keep seeing references to Instagram and Twitter or whoever uses the "@" and # signs, but I don't use or view either of them. Since all the presentations I see and which are probably the most seen presentations, are produced for KZfaq, then all photographer, model, gear, etc., should be right there on KZfaq, in "SHOW MORE". Or, then at least, the models' web site or agency (model mayhem for example), can be used. Of course Facebook is another example of easy finding of models. For me, # and @ should only be used in replacement of swear words. Ok, thanks again. My humble unbiased and unasked for opinion. Loved and appreciated the presentation.

I never understood why people think direct sunlight is unflattering-then I realised that these photographers are working with female subjects. I mainly photograph men, and high contrast lighting actually works very well to accentuate lines. Anyway, I find direct sunlight is preferable to overcast light, which has too much blue light in the spectrum and too many reflections, making colours appear washed out. (This is where polarisers, warming filters or shooting slide film/postprocessing can help.) I even find sunlight preferable to flash, which is by default too cool for people with less melanin, i.e. white people.

Who can afford to shoot with a assistant these days ??? Who is paying more than 300 for a outdoor headshot? LOL. Come on guys, you need to have a single shooter solution for "how-to" videos. Good tips and explanations. But that Sunbounce is unnecessary to put together when you have the collapsible bounces 3in1 or 5in1. Sunbounce is also overpriced. So is Blackrapid. Folks, there are high quality alternatives for these at a fraction of the price these sell for. Dynalites are great lights. I can recommend those as well. Yet so are numerous others, like Godox, or Cheatah, or other copies like Newwer, etc for very good prices. Keep up the great videos!

there isn't a meter out there that is set up to meter HSS that i'm aware of. so i do a few test shots and make calculations based on that.

I pretty much do the same thing since I noticed with my sekonic L-478 even though it goes up to 1000 shutter my exposure is never right and just wondered if you did something different when using your light meter for HSS😎

You missed one of the most obvious ones. Use the sun as key and your strobe as a fill right next to the lens 2.5-3.5 stops under the sun exposure.

Pfft ...it certainly worked for Herb Ritts for many years but it’s a look that works in black and white better.
