Learn my 5 steps to creating awesome off camera flash wedding photographs!
In this off camera flash wedding photography tutorial video I talk you through the five steps I go through to create off camera flash portraits at weddings. By learning and practicing the 5 steps you will see that nothing about the process is difficult and the more you practice the easier it will become.
Off camera flash can offer you an amazing way to stand out against other wedding photographers whilst also giving you so much confidence. It means that if you are shooting a wedding in poor light, or you have no natural light at all, you can still create awesome images that your bride and grooms will love!
I also talk about the importance of MagMod modifiers in controlling the light which comes out of our speedlights. Using modifiers is more or less essential in helping you to limit the spill of the light which is literally the difference between and good off camera flash portrait and a bad one.

When using multiple camera do you need multiple triggers?

@djzee4571 2 жыл бұрын

@@ranjini92 You need a trigger for each camera you want to trigger a flash from. You can either purchase multiple triggers...or switch trigger from camera to camera.

Hello Mr. Neil, your the best photographer, by the way I'm a filipino photographer here in Saudia Arabia, your follower in KZfaq and i learned a lot from all your uploaded videos. That is why i was convinced to buy a magmod products.(happy for discount code🤗👍) My co-worker told me why i should buy a expensive products? I told them it's worth it. 👍 Thank you for sharing your knowledge in taking professional photos. God bless you more 🙏❤️

nice tuto. personnally I am fan of tcm button on godox. i try ttl and switch to M with tcm. good start sometimes. When you use flash, do you set zoom to 24mm or 105mm ? A pity you never use lightmeter to better understand relative powers. when you use flash 1meter on rear of couple, and you are at F/4, how do you setup the power of the flash ? would we measure F/5.6 1 stop with a lightmeter on back of couple ???

Excellent helpful video thank you. Can I just ask, in your experience, if a couple are in the dark and your camera is struggling to get focus on them, what would be your way of lighting them up enough to get them in focus? I've tried them holding torches and such till I get a lock on them, but I was wondering if there is a better way. Thanks.

@NeilRedfern 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you Darryl, and that's a great question. I must admit that this is rarely ever an issue now that I shoot with Sony because firstly, I rarely shoot in environments which are very very dark, but also because the Sony is so good at low light focusing. However when I was shooting Nikon DSLRs I would have this problem sometimes when I was shooting at night outside and in those situations I would turn on the torch on my phone and give that to the couple. I would then ask them to light themselves so I could focus, then ask them to hide the phone out of shot. That way always worked really well - until one time I left a wedding and thought I had lost my phone ...I had a massive panic until I realised it was still in the groom's pocket!
