THIS VIDEO CAME LITERALLY RIGHT ON TIME. I have my first graduation shoot today and I wasn't confident in how to use my flash properly. Thanks so much.
I can't tell you how long I've been looking for a video that walks through this step by step. Watching in 2019, great job!

Halloween 2020!. Same!! Thank you both!! =) ...
You work so well together. Always fun to watch.
Watched a few videos and this is by far the most reliable and simple method. Good job.
This is the most helpful tutorial I’ve seen regarding exposure with flash. Thanks Manny and keep up the great work. Always a pleasure to watch your videos!
Bro! You just made me a professional photographer in 7:18 minutes! Love this approach! Good job!!!
Manny... you’re an incredible instructor. Much respect!
I’ve watched others try to give this tutorial but this one helped me. Simple advice - expose for the ambient before introducing the flash !!!! Great advice.
Good tutorial. I have been struggling with ambient light with off camera strobes. This really simplified my thinking. Tried it last night and shots were perfect. Thanks.
Just bought a flash yesterday and I learned a lot after watching this, very straight to the point. Great job!
Omg this video saved my life! Thank you Manny! Keep doing what your doing your are changing lives and being a blessing to so many. You explain things so well and make the viewer feel so comfortable and right at home.
One of the most to the point & accurate tuts I've seen on KZread. Solid work peeps. BTW, you guys look like a celebrity couple for some reason.

@@MannyOrtiz Damn Manny! These videos take me back, look at you now! Got your own modifier and everything! CONGRATS 🎊 👏 🎊
Ended up learning more in this short tutorial then anything I have come across. Great job!
This was a dope tutorial and very easy to understand I would recommend this to any newby photogs or hobbyists.
Manny, watching some of your older videos and see you have come a long way from before! You seem to be so much more shy in front of camera and now you are just a pro! Glad to see you grow man!
This was the simplest, most educational video on this that I've seen.
I like how you humbly praise jason and also your work as always Thanks
Omg! Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with this so bad and you made it so clear!! 🤯
your tutorials really help me out, thank you for your hardwork and teachings!!!!!
Thank you very much, I watched this video years ago , I didn't know much about photography, now that I understand everything you are talking about I found it great video and it helped a lot
Superb as always, Manny! Your techniques are so easy to apply in real world, and your videos are so succinct and informative! Thank you again!
This was extremely helpful. It's always a pleasure to watch your work. THANKS!
That was such a simple explanation. I am excited to try this out.
Going back and watching this video... I see sooo much growth in you my friend.... keep doing what you're doing
Omg. This is the best tutorial ive ever seen on this.
Finally someone that discusses their exposure. This is so so needed. Thank you. I have assumed that you were going 1-2 stops underexposed but its nice to see verification. Most others demonstrating the Sony/Godox union like Jason L. never give you useful details.
THANK YOU for breaking it down step by step! 👍🏼😊
wow Manny you made it look amazing and so easy to understand with your Technique of teaching please keep these wonderful videos coming
Rewatched both videos on off camera flash and like always man you always come through clutch. Setting up for ambient light will help a lot. You the best. Your presets are the best as well bro. Hope you making a new pack soon.

This one is my new favorite ♡♡♡
One of the best videos I have ever seen, very informative. Thanks

Thanks Manny. I'll be trying that out tomorrow morning. Very informative and just what I needed.

Its one thing reading this method, it’s another thing being told in a video. But it’s a WHOLE new ballgame to actually see it the way you presented it. THANK YOU SO MUCH 🤗 you are a photographers best friend. Subscribed.
Thanks for taking the time to make this...very well done
Hi there Manny, love your videos. This is one of your best tips ever, works very well.
Manny this video is just great!!!! now I finally got it. keep up the great work.
I watched the clip many times and gained a lot of knowledge. I like method 2, it gets depth of field. Thank you for the great knowledge given..........from Thailand FC
Finally!!!! I actually just tried it and it worked!! Thank youuuu
Hey Manny - Learnt this from you a year or two ago - good to get a confirmation that I'm still doing it right ! Thanks for the great channel
Great Video - you should do one talking about TTL and manual flash settings advantages/disadvantages and how to work in both. Would be super helpful for me and im sure your other viewers : )
You are GOOD. Thank you so much! Been at this years and just got into OCF. So excited & Following!
Brilliantly explained and easy to undersand and apply. Thank you!
This is an older video but really needed for me with finally getting my speed light and trigger. Thanks. I needed the step by step, but now it should be easy.
This tutorial is pure gold... you have got a new subscriber, keep up the good work!!!
This is straight to the point man! Thank you!!
Super useful video. Precise, without much fuss and easy.
this DEFINITELY helped me out alot, thanks!!!!
Hey Manny, thank you for this video, it is very helpful! I truly appreciate you not making this video technical. It is very understandable for newer photography enthusiasts such as myself. I learn so much about portrait photography from watching your channel.

I am pretty new to this, but i just don't understand why you would even consider using a flash and a external light outside? Is that just for the look of the picture?

oneleggedlifter if you are not using a flash in this situation, the background will be washed out (almost or completely white), which might not always be the way you want to go. Using a flash helps you get the right exposure of your subject and keeping the background “down”. What Manny is aiming for here is a darker background and a lighter subject which helps you separate the subject from the background. It lets you focus on the subject when viewing the photo.

Hey Mr Ortiz, Thank you so much for your videos man. I learn a lot with you guys 😎
Fantastic video Manny!
This was incredibly helpful..thanks so much!
Iv'e watched a number of your tuts but somehow missed this one. This is exactly how I do HHS. I have seen all the different methods used and have tried many. Coming from a film background this is the quickest and best way to get proper exposure
So simple the way you teach man. Thanks.
Your videos are so helpful for me. Thanks!
Manny, you're a darn good teacher bro. Thanks.
It is nice to see your old videos and new videos.. the metamorphosis...
Great video and great shots!
