Mastering Light with Godox 

Hi Sarah, awesome. How may I contact you for some personal questions, irrelevant for the contribution here?

Where do you get the floating Beauty Dish from the diagram with three lights and the colored gels? Hehehe! Such amazing work!

@@Aleksanderespelid ha! A floating beauty dish, we need to invent that! ;-)

Admirable talent and creativity Sarah. I am a bird in flight photographer who some times wants to take nice portraits of the family. I have found it challenging to get the right lighting in portraits. Do you have suggestions for a simple lighting setup to photograph 1-4 people outdoors and another for indoors?

hi@@AlexTroyaSD thanks so much for watching and for your question. To kill two birds with one stone, I'd suggest the AD300Pro with a collapsible softbox for that light. This is portable enough to take outdoors and powerful enough for a studio look indoors as well. For portraiture, studying lighting patterns so the shadows fall nicely on the faces. I teach Godox lighting at photography conventions and sometimes do workshops so keep an eye out!

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

Thank you so much, thanks for tuning in!

Hi! Thank you so much and thanks for tuning in. I use this flash at weddings, and my favourite way is simply to point upwards and use the pull out reflector card that is in built in the flash. If on camera I use TTL minus .3 to 2 stops depending on whether I’m triggering off camera flashes as well. Using the bounce card in this way makes the light much softer and acts as a fill light balancing with the ambient (my camera settings at receptions are on manual and I make sure the shutter speed is allowing plenty of ambient light in). Hope that helps xxx

@@sarahedmunds Thank you , much appreciated.

Hi and thanks for tuning in! How much is enough… it depends what you want to do! Do you want to just fill in shadows or overpower the sun? As you are starting out, I would suggest natural light for street photography. For portraits, off-camera flash provides the most pleasing results. For your first flash you could try an on camera flash and use it off-camera as well with a trigger like the xpro. This way the first light doubles up as both on and off camera light. Then if you find you need more power, you can try an ad100pro, ad200pro or ad300pro depending on how much power you feel need (see my first question) and how portable you need to be (the lower power lights are lighter and more portable). I think any of these would be enough. Then if you decide you need real power shooting outside in bright sunlight, you can graduate to a bigger, more powerful light like the ad600pro or even ad1200pro! (I recommend you get very comfortable with using off-camera flash first). As regards softboxes, for portability the ad300pro comes with some great pop up softboxes. Sorry for the long answer, hope it helps!

Watch out for the tutorials on godox’s channel! I always show each diagram and set up along with the images created 😊
