This video breaks down the Amaran 60D and 60X for night portraits. Here I use LED lights for amazing portraits during the night. The question is, which one is better for night portraits? LED Lights or Speedlights? Big thanks to my friend Marco Jilpas for recording the BTS video footage and Adrian for assisting last minute.

@@EliInfante I do have a question. If using a speedlight on camera (example: Godox V1 w/diffuser attached) can you get a similar look to the portraits? I realize it won't be the same. Many areas I shoot in don't allow off camera flash/equipment....so no umbrellas or softboxes. Any suggestions?

If you bounce off a white wall you can get similar results.

@sandraamato6004 2 года назад

@@EliInfante no Eli, I have not. I am beginning my journey, from a 20 year hiatus; i started years ago with film . 6 years ago I got Nikon D7200 that I have tooled around with inconsistently, I have a sigma art f1.8 18-35 (my only really good lens), reflectors, 1 umbrella , 1 flash that has to be triggered via camera flash, a bit limiting. I want to get a mirrorless but decided I should probably just use what I have and practice. However , a used mirrorless and new flashes/strobe is tempting. Rotolights look pretty awesome. Jason Lanier uses them and creates beautiful images with those. I am impressed with your work and those images you captured with these LEDS. Please share any equipment advice. I feel like I have to relearn everything 😂😂 Are you planning workshops on the East Coast, maybe NJ.

@EliInfante 2 года назад

I may do another workshop in Chicago. My friend really wants me to go to New York.

@lukogs Год назад

I want to step from speed light to strobe light, saved enough to get Godox AD200. But my father needs video light for his contents. Can I able to get by (in photography stand point) if I buy the 60D? If I fire my speedlight (Godox TT600) with amaran 60d as modelling lamp, will it make any difference? I have 2 options in front of me. 1. Buy amaran 60D or Godox ml60. Can use outdoor and indoor. 2. Godox SL60 & SK400ii strobe. Cannot use in outdoors.
