In this video I talk you the process of creating beautiful backlit off camera flash portraits.
Not only is backlighting is one of the most visually impactful uses of off camera flash, but it is also one of the easiest and in this video I guide you through, step by step, my process for creating effective backlit off camera flash portraits.
All the photographs in this video were taken on a Sony A9III (huge thank you to my friend Phil Eagland for kindly loaning the camera to me) with the Sony 16-35mm f2.8 lens.
I used a Godox AD200 to back light the model and a Godox V860 in the MagBox Pro 24" Octa to front light the model.
A huge thank you to Olga for modelling: / olgasolomodel
To my partner Helen Williams for lighting and filming:

And to Phil Eagland for kindly loaning me the Sony A9III:

    How did you manage to have such clean composites when Olga moved so much? haha What a dream it would be to shoot a European wedding here! I feel venues like these are everywhere you go! Great video, Neil! Greetings from America!

    Great pictures ! I have a question, though : what is the reason for these ambiant light settings 1/800s - iso 400 ? Why don't you keep a low iso (100) and 1/200s ? Ambiant exposure would remain identical with a better image quality but I might miss something...

    The sony a9iii base iso is 250 so anything lower would reduce dynamic range. Also the difference in noise between 250 and 400 iso with modern mirrorless cameras is very minimal so it wouldn’t matter too much here. Hope this helped!

    Hey Neil question ? Have you try using the new trigger from godox x3 ? I notice that although I don’t need hss I still need to put hss on the trigger to use hss on the a9iii not sure if that makes sense .
