BUDGET Photography Lighting Setup | Easy Flash Photography Outdoors

Here's an easy flash photography lighting setup for a budget photography gear and inexpensive portrait setup when natural light isn’t attractive or doing the trick. Portrait lighting and clamshell lighting setups don't have to be crazy complicated, in fact you can do this trick with flash photography for beginners or natural light using an inexpensive reflector and any speedlite for flash photography outdoors and one light photography. It's one of the reasons that I love 5-in-1 reflectors for budget lighting setup photography. So many uses for a cheap photography reflector!

    Vanessa is a lot better than she thinks she is. If she continues on this ambition course she will eventually turn a corner, and maybe another, and all this hard work, professionalism, and humbleness, WILL pay off for her and she will become "great and popular", for better or worse, and I am proud to be a witness to it all.

    Nice to see a wedding photographer talking about taking a little bit of time to use some lighting to good affect. I was a bit disappointed with my daughter's photographer that she did not do that at least some of the family shots in the chapel. When I have covered weddings I have always provided additional illumination where I felt it was needed. Nice job.

    Great tips for an outdoor portrait shoot, not sure I could manage that without a stand though. Using TTL to meter off is a great way to find a starting point you can lock in to. I was wondering about your bag! Looks great and I'm in the market for a new bag would you care to share the brand?

    New York is truly cosmopolitan place. Only in New York one can find a model with a typical Cossack haircut...although no doubt she was told by her hairdresser that "it is the latest upper trend in the art of modern boutique hair dressing". Nothing new under this sun. Julianne looks so "hopelessly" traditional after that.

A cheap godox v860ii speedlight is just 170 dollars and has lasted me 3 years and you need a small quick pop up modifier. Newer photographers need to be able to shoot flexibly without assistants. It's more profitable when starting. I had to shoot alone for the first year.
