Love how candid and specific your tutorials are. Plus your work is brilliant. Thanks.

I'm binge watching you. I loved the photos from this video. They made me emotional. Why I don't know. I can't wait to create !

I just want to say thank you. Started photography as a hobby and have learned a lot from you. Thank you

first time viewing your work. i am a flash rookie so very much appreciate you sharing your energy and your experience. thumbs up.

Really enjoy your videos. I watch a lot of photography channels. But what I enjoy is you share the tips without hiding key details to get people to buy into a class or something of that nature. You explain things well and get great shots while keeping it fun. Just a great channel all around. I hate watching others channels and then realizing they hold back a lot of information you wish was out there for help.

Bruh. Your videos are so useful!!!!. I saw your video about 7 thinks a photographer shouldnt go without. You give excellent information sir. Thanks for sharing. You are a blessing to the game bruh. Thanks again.

Mr. Manny....Thank you so much for all your video lessons and reviews. They are much easier to understand than others. Never Stop Thank, John

Thank you bruh as an old film head im just loving your flow because of this I’ve recently abandon all of my yongnuo flashes and picked up the adorama’s brand the evolve 200 and a few zoom li-onr2 ttl flashes with the x1 triggers and I just love them. thanks for your info and stay smooth bruh

This Tutorial was just what i needed! I've just started shooting indoors and I only have a single Flash and a reflector. I was wondering how I could incorporate these two together! I hope you make another tutorial on outdoor shooting with flash! Keep up the great work!

thanks Manny ...you explain things so very simply and easy to understand

Thank you Manny for all the great videos you make. I wish you and your crew the best.

Manny, Doesn't matter what video I watch I always find myself coming back to this video. Please do more videos like this"much love from SOUTH AFRICA"

Manny, I must have scrolled through 15 videos trying to get to one (you) who teaches clearly and concisely and is not just about headshots, thank you bro :)

Awesomeness! Thanks again for sharing your wisdom!!

I just want to let you know that I subscribe to a number of tutorial channels...your channel is by far is the most comprehensive! After watching your videos I immediately but your tips into action and see a world of difference. Thanks Bro!!!!!

You’re an amazing artist. I’m a photographer as well and I have really up my game watching you! Blessings to you love 😊

Bro, thank you and keep up the good work. I really appreciate the time you put into helping out the community.

You've given me a ton of knowledge, Manny. Thank you very much for all that you do for us!

This video is beautifully composed and I'm benefitted out of it. Thank you so much bro keep up your works ❤️

Great video, Manny! Only thing missing is what settings were used, such as manual or TTL flash, f-stop, shutter speed, ISO. I'm also interested in how was the white balance achieved - in post or with gels + camera setting combo? And one more thing, which may also be a nice topic for a new video - what are the advantages and disadvantages of using this kind of Monolight instead of a basic Speedlite? There are some Godox flashes which are also able to be wirelessly triggered with the same tool you were using.

Nice set of options for single light and reflector. Thanks. Clamshell is another basic configuration for one light and one reflector that is quick and easy and looks great.

Thanks for including the link to the backdrop! Like always, great video!!!

@manny Ortiz what was your settings? Especially your flash power settings? Amazing work

Quick and to the point. Great tips!

Great video! I just recently finished researching this light that I think I’m going to finally invest in. The lighting is 👍🏽.

Thank you, Manny, for presenting this tutorial! Your description is simple but highly instructive. I’m watching this on November, 2021, so I hope that the equipment translates to this time frame. I’m shooting with the Olympus OMD- EM1- MARK 2 and giving myself the other equipment for Christmas. Gracias.

Thanks for reminding of what I did 20+ years ago. It works. Scavullo did it for years for Cosmopolitan. Coming back into the biz will be easier and less expensive than before.

Do you know of any cheaper alternatives that'd you'd suggest for a flash? I'm a freshman college student and am trying to set up something very similar in my dorm - just want to try and avoid paying so much. Thanks for all the dope videos! Hope to hear from you soon.

Devyn Allen Just get something like a Godox V860IIS. It can be used as an on or off camera flash, has support for wireless shooting via 2.4G with the Godox Transmitter shown in this video and it supports HSS. Best of all it's really affordable and powerful but if it's still a bit too pricey you could go with the TT685S which is as I recall almost the same but runs on regular AA Batteries and thus has a slower recycle rate and is a bit less powerful (not quite sure).

The Godox set up is cheap and as Manny will attest, reliable. One thing you need is consistency with gear. I've yet to have a failure from the AD200/TT660 or TT685 with the X1T trigger.

I appreciate the reply! However, I'll be quite honest, I've never done anything like this before. I've only shot portraits, sporting events, etc. So I wouldn't know where to begin. I do however love the price of the equipment you mentioned. Could you possibly list out everything I'd need to set up a small studio? Modifier, flash, etc? I'd very much appreciate it, sir. Also, I'm not sure if it matters or not, but I thought you should know that I'm shooting on a 5d mark ii, so if I need anything extra please do mention it! Regards, Devyn Allen

Good video Manny. Clear, succinct and all of your links worked! Thanks

Great lighting! My go-to setup is one large octabox and a reflector. It's simple and very versatile. Also, thanks for sharing the Franklin Backdrops info. Their backdrops look very nice.

Thanks MO. Great video - direct and to the point. Way cool that you introduce the gear that you are using. With your help maybe I can become a photographer. Bottoms up!

I feel like stealing your beards

Just came across this video yesterday because I had a shoot this morning and I just wanted to say thank you for the info truly helped out today.

Thank you for your videos. They're very inspirational and I've learned so much!

I have been using the flashpoint strobes ever since your first recommendation I think over a year ago they work wonderfully in the field and in the studio thanks keep up the great work!

Great video Manny! I have been doing photography for like 7 years and seen a lot of tips on youtube after learning how to use my camera. So right I wanted to catch up on any new videos out there and came across your video and enjoy how you gave this tutorial. Very great explanatory!!

Love your videos Manny... they’re really informative and very easy to follow!

You done a GREAT job here Manny, top stuff - enjoyed that.

This is amazing, just what I was looking for! Great photos and model :)

Always enjoy when you guys post! Keep up the great work!

I also like how you talk about your gear: your softbox, lens, camera, etc.

Your teachings are great, thanks. Your model is unbelievably beautiful!!!

Manny, as usual you did a great job on this video, much apporeciated. Your very talented and you explain things very well. This video was very helpful. Thank you again

Fine art portraits incoming! Looking forward to another good year of work from you Manny it’s a strong start already

I’m just getting in to flash and soft boxes and it was useful to me short,concrete and easy to understand 👍🏼👍🏼

Amazing Manny! Wow thanks for the lesson💙💙💙

This video has been so helpful! I really like how you showed and talked about the position of the flash. Somehow I though the best position would be the 45 degree angle. I have to try it directly next to my camera right nest time. It would be fantastic if you could make a video on the best position of off camera flash when shooting outdoor. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Another great video Really helped me nail down my flash purchase. Thanks !

Hey Manny thanks for sharing you ideas. You are an amazing teacher..

Love it man, I’m a videographer stepping into the world of flash photography. This is excellent.

This is incredibly helpful! I can't thank you enough!

Great video, explains a 1 light setup and options in a nice simple easy to understand way. I really need to get one of those pop up softboxes, ones I have are like pitching a tent and really annoying!

This was def helpful, I’m was trying to find out what lighting you were using.... finally a video. Thanks.

Fabulous, mate. Thanks for the tutorial. Such a refreshing change from herring product review

Your edits are so soft I love it ♥️

I was looking up reviews for the 16 mm 1.4 and I came across your Channel. It was love at first sight I subscribe the both of your channels my passion is videography but my God man. This video reminds me why I respect photography so much.

Another great helpful video Manny. I’m only a newbie and yet to try shooting with flash & reflectors. But I truly enjoyed and learnt something from this video. Thanks a lot mate. 👋🏽😎🇦🇺

Thank you so much, Manny. You are one of the best!

As someone who shoots mostly natural and is now finally getting into off camera flash, this tutorial was helpful for sure.

Man your video was extra helpful, I’m going to use it in my shoots tomorrow and the weekend to see if I can create that same lighting

Easy and Straight to the point! Thank you Manny!
