In this video, I discuss how you can stop taking the same boring photos. I share principles on how to create unseen light as well as some photography and lighting tips and tricks as to where to position your flash and why. I teach you how to Shoot, Light & think differently. This video also contains a lot of Behind The Scenes (BTS) images and the actual output.
Camera Equipment: Sony A7R MarkII and MarkIII
Lenses: Sony GMasters and Zeiss Batis Lenses
Flash Units: Sony F45RM, Phottix Mitros+ and Phottix Indra
Modifiers: MagMod MagBox and MagSphere

Just something about me…
Since prior to my entry into the wedding industry, I have been considered to be one of the most reputable lighting specialists in the Philippines, conducting workshops nationwide and have been featured in various photography magazines. I was also a multi-awarded portrait and advertising photographer.
My expertise is in manipulating ambient and artificial light to create clean and classic photographs which naturally led me to the genre of portrait and wedding photography. Since then, I have shot numerous weddings locally and overseas exhibiting my signature style.
I am also a Sony Philippines Brand Ambassador,
Zeiss Camera Lens South East Asia Local Ambassador and International Phottix Pro Teamer.

Some great examples. I like your last photo where you left the shadows and sunlight on the dress instead of blowing it out with a flash. 🍻

Great Videos! You are one of the few photographers that provide tips that are useful in professional Shootings. About 90% of the other KZfaq Photographers don’t Know-how to use artificial light or they need perfect conditions to produce good results. These KZfaqrs would never be able to work on a client brief. Keep up the good content!

Because of your videos and tutorials sir I've changed my mind on buying a DSLR body that is capable of High-speed Sync. Now I am using APERTURE PRIORITY most of the time and compensate(underexposing) the background by using exposure compensation. I also use flash and it's never been easier until I watched your videos.

Lovin your videos, thank you for sharing. Question, I have the hardest time with choosing what Focus area to use when. What focus area do you use most and why/when would you change it.

@JiggieAlejandrino 4 жыл бұрын

Single point, because its easier for me to control because of the joystick and touch screen but since my camera has amazing EYE AF, my back focus is set to that and overrides everything

@TMIDD 4 жыл бұрын

I use single point focus for my up close portraits when i need to capture detail. If im shooting a wedding photo of say a group of people i would change to auto focus with multiple points along with the f stop since there are more people to focus on.

@carolrodriguez306 4 жыл бұрын

TMIDD TRAVEL autofocus with multiple points? Is your focus area set to Wide? I do use single point and is my preferred when I’m shooting one or two persons especially with eye autofocus.

1st of all, thank you for your video & enlighten us with your knowledge and skillset. However, I do have some disagreement(s) with your perspective. One example, the couple on the canoe with the sunset, the sunset light source is from the back distance. Yet, how would that lit up their faces in white lights? Doesn't match, in the scene with what you educating us with. The same with the couple in front of the vehicle on the beach, sunset lights in the background, and yet, the front ground is totally lit up, going against the sunset lights. The incongruencies seemed confusing to the eyes & brain of thought when looking at the images.
