Miodrag Senic This is a "Wish I knew the names of the likes moment", I sure we’d recognise two of them.

Or is this the brother now?? hmmmm ;-) ;-)

+parptarf I finally understand why canon has a running man mode

yeah i liked that too

Do you even know what a camera is?

hi! do a little reading on inverse square law. you'll get the concept, nothing to complex.

Hi Majj, I can deeply understand how the Inverse Square Law works mentioned by our friend here zeebazu, however, it's rather hard to explain for me. For the sake of simplifying the concept, you must understand that light travels distances just like sound waves, of course, waves are like a cone, smaller on one end and bigger on the other end, for light, when your source shoots light(flashes, lamps, even the sun), it begins with the smaller size of the wave and it goes dimmer and dimmer up to the other side, meaning that, by the end of the wave your light will be less powerful but brighter at the beginning. What Zack did with that portrait is that, as you can see he positioned the speed light as close as Jared as possible, in order for the start and smaller part of the wave(which is also the brightest part) hits directly to Jared, making the last part of the light wave a lot dimmer and less bright, if you combine that with a fast enough shutter speed, the sensor won't catch that light on the background, making it black! I hope this helps!

Majj Majj HSS won't be necessary in doors (in lighting condition like this video). If you run in iso 100 and get your subject as far away from the wall as possible but put the flash as close to them as possible without getting in the frame, it should turn the background black even in shutter speeds lower than 250th unless your lens is super wide open.

Majj Majj grab your little cousins and get them to hold the flashes for a session in exchange of candies or something. that's what i did back when I didn't have any stands and just one ancient vivitar manual

You firstly need to kill the ambient light in the room with a small aperture such as f16 or more maybe less. You also need a fast shutter speed. Your speedlight need to be on a high power and pointed away from your background.
