In this video, I show you a live demonstration of how I shoot natural light and off camera flash photos and then discuss the good and bad of each style. I love both styles of photography and implement them into my work all the time!

I just recently saw this older video by you. Big difference between then and today. You've evolved your channel very well, bro.

In my opinion it is harder to shoot with natural light than with off camera flash. I love augmenting natural light with off camera flash but on those cloudy days it is nice to be able to put a light behind the model with a gel to simulate golden hour light while using a main light to control the drama. great video. keep up the good work.

You two have such an amazing and fun interaction together. I used to think flash meant harsh, until I learned how to properly expose thanks to channels like yours. Great video, thanks!

@mac7406 6 лет назад

Great video Manny! It's good to see another side of your photographic taste. I like your natural light photos in the city, especially when you use the reflected light off the buildings. Keep up the great work!!

You're the only photographer I'm watching at this moment for tips. Appreciate it.

@youpamp 6 лет назад

Boom! Another! Keep putting your vids out there. With so many wannabes making terrible tutorials, its refreshing to have a source for quick, to the point presentations. If you are doing workshops in NYC, PUT IT OUT THERE! Make sure you are getting the word out. Thank you again!

@V.D.L.315 6 лет назад

Awesome Manny! We need more of this teaching for a person like me ( i am a beginner). I wish you have two videos at least per week. I just like your teaching and videos. Glad to be a fan.

I've been watching portrait tutorials on YT for a while and your work truly stands out. I love you also show how to utilize more affordable gear like a6xxx and cheaper lenses. One of the channels I would actually pay to watch.

@DrKitanoTakashi 6 лет назад

made a tea, sat down, less then 9 seconds, enjoying my break already! Awwww SNAAPPP Hats off to my favourite couple and for covering a very good topic :) its nice to work light and to shoot for the moment but your are right, at times ocf works and vice versa and this video really helps shows this.

@BeGreater559 6 лет назад

I blame you for making me spend my money on the 85 g master! But thank you lol I love it! Love your work btw👌🏽💯

@blakslee720 3 года назад

Watching your videos, I'm learning that many of the things I thought were done in post are actually achieved at the shoot, especially by using flash. Thank you!

@GothicMaximalist 6 лет назад

I'm a natural light photographer and I luckily have never once had to reschedule a session. But that is because I don't schedule very specific sessions like "It HAS to be the golden hour and no rain". I work with a very specific kind of client and due to that, it allows so much freedom to "work with what we've got". As long as the kind of location is correct, we can work with what mother nature throws our way and I am so thankful for that. This video is great and super informative and I thank you for making it!

@town3 6 лет назад

Good to see you at work and back in action Manny, one a week is good for consistency and will help you rebuild Subs at the sometime. I'm sure you know this already but it's a great time for growth and fresh ideas and concepts. Like always great work and keep up the great work bro. Stay blessed.

@techie27 6 лет назад

Thank so much for going over the set up. Great look on the off camera flash shots

@EDCGadgets 6 лет назад

Absolutely amazing video Manny, and I love that you processed both the flash and natural light shots, to bring out the most of them, not just saying that one is better than the other. I personally love using my A7II with the 85 1.8 FE with natural light whenever possible. But if it's not the perfect time of the day, the natural light is MUCH more limiting when it comes to background selection, because you can only shoot the model is a specific angle. And funnily, after my shoots, my clients always buy the flash pictures :) A HUGE problem with natural light, is the colorcast on the skin (caused by grass, colorful buildings etc.) It's an absolute pain the correct in photoshop.

@thebeatingdiabeteslifestyl3486 6 лет назад

Great video. I shoot both natural light and OCF and find that I like both. Like you said: whatever the style and situation calls for, you have to enjoy what you do.

@RobSajous 3 года назад

You're videos are very helpful bro. Thanks!

@Barbatian 6 лет назад

As always, amazing content. You are absolutely great fotographer... but luckely you have a superb model by yourself. Keep posting, keep sharing, it's pleasure to watch your work

@mikebimages9268 6 лет назад

Great Stuff! I think its great to show some versatility between OCF and Natural light. You are absolutely correct when you spoke of understanding light. I saw Clay Cook take his hand (raised in front of him) and turn like a sun-dial to watch the shadow move across his hand which indicated how the light and shadow will hit his subject. Thanks for taking the time to teach and explain!

@shouldigetit 6 лет назад

Manny your photos are beautiful no matter which style you shoot. I love them all! I'm especially enjoying this new channel and the filming setup where you just speak into the camera and overlay B-Roll. Thanks for making the video that convinced me to get an Xplor 600 last year. I love it! Moving to university on Saturday and I'm going to be practicing some of your techniques with my future classmates.

@MannyOrtiz 6 лет назад

Great video! Excellent job talking about the pros and cons for BOTH sides... too often you get someone who is fixed in their (one) way and doesn't accept that there are perfect situations for both. Well done. Benjamight

@frankzayas3103 5 лет назад

Prior to this winter, I had only shot natural light ONCE in the last six years and that was because I grabbed the wrong bag on my way out the door and got to the location with no lights! I had a reflector in my camera bag and pulled off a great shoot anyway. But with the crappy weather we've had days in and day out around here, I started intentionally shooting NL on several shoots and have loved the results. As you say, different conditions require different solutions. I'm glad I have rediscovered natural light shooting.

@garyroach2000 6 лет назад

Love the shot of your wife in the snow. I also like the idea of just taking one lens when going shooting. We all probably start out with one lens. But, over time we accumulate more lenses and use certain lenses for certain types of shots. I like to mix it up and maybe just take a wide angle and shoot something that I would usually use telephoto to shoot. It's fun and sometimes you get great results.

@debtminer4976 6 лет назад

@ArifKhan. 6 лет назад

Manny, both your Nat-light and Flash work is amazing. Being able to handle both is making you more well rounded artist. Great job! So that said, the next step would be for you to show how to get Nat-light look with strobes. Because there is a very clear look that off-camera lighting presents. But if you can be skilled with the flash and blend the flash subtly into the ambient, that would present the next level! Then you can have nat-light look without being at the mercy of mother nature. I think that would be a great video for you to make and we'd all appreciate your take on that skill. peace!
