Some of you have pointed out that I mentioned changing exposure with shutter speed, and the fact there is a rough rule that aperture controls your flash exposure, and shutter speed controls your ambient exposure. This is technically correct, but not absolute, and often varies when using the longer flash durations of HSS with different shutter speeds, as well as the fact that aperture obviously increases both your ambient and flash exposure to some extent, so you still need to be careful when following this rule (for those who don't understand the rule I will get into it in future videos, especially an upcoming video on mixing strobe and ambient light). What I should have said to be more accurate in this demo is that I was trying to balance the exposure and using the shutter speed to make sure that no ambient light influenced the exposure in the shot, and then using the flash power to get the correct exposure for the portrait. Those settings ended up being ISO 100, F2.8... then 1/200 meant that I had no ambient light in the shot, and I then turned the flash power up to 1/16 power for a correct exposure from the flash only. I hope that clears things up.

Sean Tucker Hi Sean I’m new to strobes and have been practicing the past few weeks. I initially heard on KelbyOne(I think it was!) to set up the camera with ISO100, f8, 1/125 and work with the lighting from there adjusting as you go. As you mention you shot these pics at f2.8, so for me to do the same is it just a matter of the same principle, set the aperture then work the lighting power around this setting?

Indoors there is no need to use HSS? Just put your flash power down. When you have ambient light in the image HSS can be used to control that when shooting with wider apertures that don't let you keep inside synch speed. Indoors shooting like that HSS is just a waste of flash power. You can shoot wide apertures with low flash power - No need for HSS that will kill your batteries

I often crank up my Flashpoint 600's (Basically a rebranded Godox at Adorama) to 1/4000 or even 1/8000 to bring the overall watt seconds down so I can shoot at 1.4 or 1.8 when in studio. It's a lot faster than tweaking your trigger settings.

Finally, a youtube photography video that is to the point and not ego driven like everyone else on here.

Well that’s probably the most direct, to the point, high information filled KZread instructional video I have seen . What an absolutely delightful experience. Guess I’ll be up for awhile exploring your other content Thank you so much for all the work that you put into this.

Sean, you have no idea how overwhelmed I am after watching your series of videos (shadows, highlights and manual mode). I am overwhelming relieved to see that it is possible to take portraits without having expensive gear. Thank you so much, you are a blessed soul sharing so many secrets that photographers normally hoard. It is a hobby for me and I am not doing anything commercial. I am cracking away on the Pentax K50 I have and have started saving to buy a full frame camera. Thank you so much for all the time you invest in spreading this knowledge to people like us. As you put it, I was one amongst the many who think that expensive gear = good photographs. I was able to apply your principles and get a good shot from my mobile phone. I am sure I can get many more once I start applying your teachings to the gear I have. I have started writing down your points like I used to do in school. So simple to follow and learn from your videos. May you live long and strong Sean. Now, your KZread feed streams on my laptop instead of Netflix; whenever I have time away from work.

This video is AWESOME and I can't wait to use these techniques!

I'm a pro portrait photographer and this is the best film I've seen! well done.

How have I not discovered this channel until now? Hands down one of the best photography channels I've ever come across on KZread. I learned a lot just from this one video!

This is, by far, my favorite KZread video. I return to it every now and then before a portrait session. Simplicity is king.

Love how you get to the point and pack tons of info into 20 minutes. Thanks.

Thank you, Sean. I appreciate your videos and insight greatly.

This video is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen on KZread or anywhere else, period. I subscribed and I hope you will make many more photography tutorials explained in such a clear way, using gear that doesn't break the bank. Respect !

Sean you are a legend man, got into photography 2 years ago and you were 1 of the original guys I would binge videos of. I became quite confident in my landscape and outdoor lifestyle photography but now I am back on youtube pouring through lighting videos as I want to add that to my skill set, this is the video that has pulled together a lot of what I have been learning. Thanks mate!

You are the best teacher on KZread 🙌🏽. Thank you!

This is one of the best photography videos I have ever seen. The simplicity of the explanation makes it easy to understand.

Genius genius genius. Straight to the point without suggesting fancy expensive gear. Great job

So refreshing to watch a video by someone who knows their stuff and is able to put across the info in a concise, clear understandable fashion. Great video.

Having watched many KZread videos on this subject and still not being happy, Sean hits the mark on all levels. Very concise, straight forward and encouraging. Thank you Sean

Finally put together a similar setup, so simple and yet so effective. Thanks Sean you put an end to years of procrastination on what to get, and an end to battling with off cuts of material, card as a reflector and a bare speed light.

A breath of fresh air. Such a change when someone sets out to simplify the subject with no "showing off". Superb!

Very honest tutorial. No gimmicks no unnecessary talking, to the point and straight form the heart. Thank you. Apart from that I also like the the way you shot the video.

This is probably the most useful and straight forward tutorial on flash portrait photography.

Sean, I really appreciate your clear and thorough explanations of techniques we all need. So very useful, without all the hugely irritating music, posturing and other nonsense so many guys use. Keep up the great work! Subscribed from my first view.

This should be required viewing for anyone starting out...all you need to know in 22 minutes. Solid. Nice job Sean.

Just seen this today and i love how simple yet amazing lesson. Through the difference between images from the setting time and final images, i notice that your quality adds so much to the image beyond that camera setting.

What a treasure trove of helpful information and teaching. Thank you Sean for sharing this so freely with us!

Thank you so much. In a world full of expensive and complicated gear setups, you are always teaching us how to improve and grow in a nicest possible way, by building solid basic skills and techniques that will take where we need to go. So happy to watch this. Thank you again Sean and please keep them coming.That's so interesting:)

I've watched this video over and over.. it's really got me excited to build a little kit and give portraits a try. Thank you for your no nonsense approach to your instructional videos 👍

Bro this is the best 22 minutes on KZread. I legit started working with flash a few weeks ago. I knew it was gonna be an uphill battle but after this I am pumped.

As someone coming late into photography, I find so much inspiration here on KZread. You are one of my favorites for various reasons, number one being your honesty and spiritual approach to the craft. Thanks very much Sean and best of everything to you.

Sean I have to say, I really really love your no nonsense style to photography and the way you make your videos and how you so easily get the points across that are important without drowning them in technobable. I'm an amateur wildlife photographer who's trying to learn to use speedlights etc and yes I'll admit I was avoiding them because its so much easier with just natural light etc. Kudos to you and keep on making videos exactly like this!

Wow! This is the best video on using a speed lite, I’ve been watching videos for the past 2 hours for my new speed lite and until now, I was still confused. You cleared up all my questions in this video and gave me some great ideas on extra gear to buy to get better pictures with a strobe. Thank you!!!

Putting the cheaper suggestions at the end of the video instead of just saying "and you can get cheaper stuff" is really appreciated. This video is great and I'm going to add it to my favorites so I can reference it again. Definitely going to check out your other work

Dear Sean! I’m thankful for you and for KZread that have afforded me such a chance to learn! The world needs more photographers like you. I’m very impressed with the simplicity and humility of your presentation that hits at the heart of making beautiful portraits! I can’t compliment you enough! Thank you a lot!

Hugely inspiring for a penniless photographer, so clearly explained many thanks for taking the time to make these

Sean...I really took away alot from this video. You are absolutely correct about beginner photographers being intimidated by the cost of equipment affecting pursuing studio shots. Thank you again for being so up front and honest.

Showing how to fold the backdrop is enough to deserve a “like” 😆 I remember it took a while for me to learn to fold a 120cm reflector.

This is so well articulated, thank you! An advanced concept concisely explained with the photographic evidence to prove it. You are an artist.Thanks again Peter (Melbourne, Australia)

Fantastic. My phobic anxiety about having a go with studio lighting swept away in one unpretentious video. Clarity of presentation is 10/10. Thank goodness the flow is not interrupted by adverts.

Man, your channel is a jem. As a beginner photographer from Russia, I thank you from a bottom of my heart

I'm out of practice with studio lighting and this was one of the best tutorials to follow that I've seen in awhile! Thank you so much!

such a good instructor. clear and to the point

Brilliantly paced, no blatent product placement, no pretense, informative with seemingly a genuine desire to encourage resourceful affordable creative photography.

Thanks to you from Berlin/Germany, Sean: These instructions helped me to find a stable basis for all indoor portraits for relatively little money and with manageable effort!

Really great info in this video, Sean. You clearly have a knack for teaching and you get the information out there simply and concisely. I used to do a lot of TV/video environmental stuff and corporate talking head interviews about twenty years ago working with Arri fresnel hot lights, all sorts of modifiers and now that I want to get into shooting with some still cameras and strobe I could not ask for a better series of videos. I'm glad there have been advances with battery operated strobes, small flash units, and HSS to get these kinds of shots. Thanks for the videos.

Best and clearest video I've seen on here. Examined so clearly without being overly technical. Nice work.

Sean, I just wanted to thank you for your work. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I find them very inspiring and at the same time very practical.

@CostaMesaPhotography

@@bthemedia My sense was that he covered this fairly well, but based on your comment I went back and looked again. At about the 13 minute mark he mentions HSS and 1) the importance of making sure you have a flash that supports HSS, and 2) explains that HSS allows you to use shutter speeds above sync speed. To your point, he doesn't really explain WHY you might use a shutter speed that fast. Again at about the 14-1/2 minute mark he demonstrates that he wants to cut out all ambient light and only light his subject with the flash....he shows that with the flash off, his exposure produces a black frame...classic HSS, but again to your point, he doesn't explicitly say that to achieve that you might need to raise your shutter speed above the sync speed, but with an HSS-capable flash, you have the freedom to do that without worry. And of course he didn't mention the downside of HSS (and there are few), and that is that it eats up the batteries quite a bit faster. It's a downslide, but it's not a reason you'd avoid HSS...you use HSS because you have to (i.e. when you're trying to achieve a particular result which requires fast shutter speeds...cutting ambient light, freezing motion, etc...). I still put Sean Tucker's video as very high on my list of must-watch, and must-subscribe channels.

bwvids yes, it’s so that he can go to any shutter speed without worrying about flash sync times as he explained.

Love this tutorial. I love that he left nothing out from the start and was very thorough. Different tools and what they do, and why he likes them or why not. Love that he helped with settings for camera and speed light including power setting. Described in detail different possible setup of light and what they’d create. Even how to fold down the back drop...which I’ve had issues folding cause no one has showed me how. Over all an educational video that’s very thorough without being overboard or dragging on and on. Great work and thank you.

I feel like he knew exactly what my issue is.. not a fear of using more than natural light but just being more so intimidated by moving up to a speedlight! Bought my first one, so now I’m watching videos. Thank you for this

You just saved me with this backdrop folding tip! I struggled 10 min and i knew you said that, but i thought, the other channels on youtube would say the same. But no, i got only when i heard it from you! Thank you for being so honest, passionate and authentic! I really miss that attitude in times of clickbait and stuff like that. Keep going! All the best from vienna!

Its been a long time since I've done speedlight portraiture. I've forgotten most of it. This was a nice refresher. It comforting to know there are other people who aren't technical about it. The math confuses me. lol This was simple and straight forward. Thank you!!

You know what, this was a nice reminder of the power of simplicity. Feeling inspired by it, last job I did, i left the big soft boxes at home and shot the job with a single beauty dish half way between a Rembrandt and a Loop, with a single handheld reflector for some bounce. Client/ & subject loved it. It also gave me time to get a real rapport with my subject, I got reminded that sometimes getting really technical and fiddling with multiple lights means you often end up treating them like a still life rather than a person. Nice one Sean. Only thing, my assistant had nothing to do! but it was great for her, as she learned a great setup to always have in her back pocket and I was reminded to stop dicking around ;-)

The most thorough explanation I have ever seen on youtube. Thank you for not being a gatekeeper! Love this.

Only one word for this tuturial. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing your skill and enthusiasm.

I’ve always done my shoots in natural light but now I think I’m ready to try strobes. Your videos are super helpful!

Thank you very much for this. I've been a natural light photographer for all this time and I've been really looking forward to start venturing into the strobe/flash photography. This will help me a lot in getting started to it. 👍

Was really intimidated by flash photography thinking it had to be really complicated...this video got me to try it out and it turned out better than I expected. I think this is a really great video; it's concise and still manages to explain all the essential detail about lighting and the general setup which is no easy feat.

What an excellent guide. I have just purchased a speed lite kit for my new canon 90d. Never used speed lites before and thought it about time to bite the bullet and give it a go. Watched this video hopefully to get some tips and hints and I must say I wasn’t disappointed. Your very straight forward, clear, no nonsense approach was a treat. Actually disappointed when the video was over. Well done. Marty.

Excellent presentation Sean. You did an amazing job of distilling hours of information into a 20 minute video. Thank you.

Excellent instruction, Sean! Thanks so much. You teach quickly and well, and I like your portraits too.

In the 30ish years I've been shooting I've never been big on doing portraits, but recently my wife convinced me to try branching out some, and I've started doing my homework - this one video covered almost every question I've been looking into, and even aa few I hadn't even thought of...

Thumbs up !! Very clear guidance for beginning/intermediate photographers. I was an industrial photographer for over 30 years (mostly medium format and 4X5 view cameras before the digital revolution). This, Sean's explanation of basic camera functions, is the simplest and most accurate I've seen on youtube. Aperture (f stop) regulates the AMOUNT of light that reaches the camera's sensor. Shutter speed regulates the length of TIME that the sensor is exposed to the light. These two factors are determined by the sensitivity of the sensor (the ISO). In days of yore each of the single-sensitivity films was rated in ASA values). In today's digital world..with the ability to regulate the sensitivity of the sensor the photographer has what amounts to near-infinite choice of "films" (all right there in his/her camera...pre-loaded and available for instant use). I think that it is the variable sensitivity of the sensors that confuse so many new photographers...and many onliners who claim understanding of the variables. Flash changes this dynamic ... overriding one of the shutter's traditional functions. Flash pumps light through the lens's aperture onto the sensor according to its rated power and the duration of the light burst (usually extremely short). In this sense, flash overrides the shutter's former main function(time determination) while the aperture still retains its depth-of-field co-function, thankfully. I am still hoping to own a fully manual camera that has only a digital sensor back. Basic cameras are relatively easy to understand and use. I am given to understand that such a simple device is available..but at the extreme of the price range. I simply refuse to pay so much more for a simpler, easier-to-use device. To sum-up my comment (at last): I am still confused :)

Sean, this is really is very genuine, hearty, and feeling me you’re on my side

The best speedlight tutorial out there. Thank you, Sean!

I went through a number of, how do you set a flash, videos before this one. Finally someone that just explains and shows settings and samples. Thanks for this! 🎉

I don't do much flash photography or portraits but want to be able to more. This is one of the best videos I've seen, not just flash/camera related but on any subject, because you give reasons why. For example why that flash holder and it being centered in the umbrella. Thank you!

THIS! Thank you for this video - I've been scared to death to shoot with strobe for portraits. The info about the products you use, why you chose to use them, how to set them up, why you chose to set them up in that fashion .. just GREAT. One of my biggest concerns is "Where is the light going to land on the subject" and the small tip you shared with the umbrella pointing towards the subject was actually HUGE!

Love this! The folding the background tutorial is an added bonus. I always struggle with this!

Newly retired type of photographer here. It's going alright outdoors, shooting birds and bif, but indoors and strobe lights that's not (yet) my cup of tea until this video. I'm going to try setting things up the way you did. I just would love finding a video explaining step by step the setup of a speed light. I regret not having started photography when I was young, I find out things every day and I'm getting obsessed with it. Also these Sony cameras can be equipped with very old analogue lenses, witch gives me a whole other new world to discover. I love young people like yourself, trying to explain all this stuff and keeping it on a low budget. Loved the part where you advices an old model Canon 5d mark ll, more young people should listen to that kind of advice. Keep it coming, you have a new (old) follower. Thanks a lot.

Best video on KZread. I wish I would have found this video straight away before I watched the 1000 other videos. You cover everything from A-B and de-mistify photography to make it not seem so overwhelming and complicated. Good job man. Thank you. I will subscribe.

This is free for anyone to see and learn from. Sean is amazing.

BEST TIPS EVER! This is well worth watching and has helped me immensely!

I cannot explain how thankful I am for these videos.

I’ve seen this videos several times in my photography career. It got me inspired lots of times from different types of angle view, portrait, flash gear, lighting style. Today when I see it again, I think it’s a fantastic video for beginner photographes. Everything is well thought in the explanation. The only drawback to put a small softbox in a small space for portrait ,it is the ratio on the left and right face when it’s side lighted or rambrandt lighted, since the light is so closed to the face, the light falls off very quickly, therefore, one side of the face is so much brighter than another side. For sure it can be adjusted in post production , but it’s just a remark I’ve got. Again really great video, thanks for sharing !

'How to fold the backdrop' was worth the price of admission ;-) Thanks for the consistently excellent content, Sean. I come because I am a novice and need the technical help but I stay for the life lessons. Keep them coming! Grace and peace as you enter 2021.

14:53 OOOOH! So THATS how you "cancel out" ambient light in a room using a strobe! Wow.. that little beginner tip, just sets off all kinds of photography epiphanies for me lol! Thanks Sean.

Definitely Sean. Make all the videos you want to which you think is necessary ways to learn and make one self better at photography. Honestly I really liked it. And this way we get to know more work of unseen Photographers around the world. It inspires me.
