Same HERE ❤ My V1 is arriving today. My first flash and this Saturday I will play photographer on a friends birthday party. So I am studying your flash vids right now. What a great starting point!! Now 3 days/nights of trial and error before the event 😱

Chapeaux, you made the wedding atmosphere looking much better than it obviously was!!!

the swag you tilting the flash feels like you are a veteran shooting with the gun you know for years... nice job!

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I agree on weddings not being for everyone, but what I do love is the skills are able to translate into many other genres. So hopefully you can take away certain techniques that apply to your photographer genre or interest

Awesome video. I dig that you get straight to the point with specifics and beautiful example shots without trying to be a zany, overproduced “personality” like a lot of other KZreadrs. I’ll be subscribing and looking forward to future videos!

Thank you Reggie, great video, appreciate your technique. A little different than I've been using in terms of not trying to hide your flash units in the frame, and I really liked how you adapted and used that intentionally to create beautiful lighting effects, rather than obsessing over trying to hide them

A rookie watches this video and says "oh, yeah I can do this!" and thus a new wedding photographer is born:-) I really like your content.

Nobody has made this video before! Nice job! I am a fellow Fuji Wedding shooter as well. Currently using two XT2's (same lenses). Is the auto focus a game changer with the XT3? I tend to use zone focus when shooting the formal introductions and open dance because the auto focus would drive me nuts! Cheers!

Nicholaus Mueller the autofocus is definitely better. But I think it still has a ways to go before it’s on Sony or dslr level

Great video and gave me lots of inspiration. Can I ask about the flash settings when you dragged the shutter. You had the camera set to 1/5th sec f/6.4 and ISO 160 but what is the zoom on the flash and the power/distance from the subject for this technique to work please?

Zoom all the way in. Power depends on the subject and exposure. Best to iterate

This off-camera flash tutorial is so good that I keep on watching it. I have a question Reggie. Instead of the two Godox AD200, would the Godox V860ii have enough power? You're only using them as rim lighting so you don't really need that much power, right?

Good and very useful video on flash photography and helpful.. For all this shots did you use face detection settings on your Fujifilm X_T3 camera, Images are detailed clear, focused and sharp..

I’ve only had one complaint in 6 years. And it was a venue with a low ceiling and very cramped table layout. I ended up moving the flash to another location in order to accommodate the guest. But other than that, I haven’t. The flash is pointed at the couple and it’s only in heavy use when everyone else is looking at the couple too.

The camera straps you wearing is so cool. Can I have the name and link to purchase it? Thanks

Haha! Yes, I noticed no one really had a video like this. It was daunting but I’m happy with this first iteration :)

I watched this video 6 months ago. And Without a doubt, the best video ever!!! I copied your set up. My pictures look amazing now. I use two Godox ad100pro and the Godox v1 as trigger and fill light. I pair it with my canon r5 and 28-70 f2. Yeah camera and lens are heavy but I don’t have to carry two bodies now. So it’s a win for me. Also I do use two cheap translucent umbrellas for the Godox ad100c helps soften the light and also better light spreading.

Awesome video, thanks for sharing your talent.
