This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on shooting in harsh light. With the other videos I’ve seen, the harsh light photos still looked pretty bad despite the “tips” those photographers shared. Loved your tip on getting the camera higher and angling it down to cut out the overexposed sky. Seems so obvious in retrospect! Bonus was those prompts and posing tips to get the model to smile and laugh. Say, “Yas Queen!” That cracked me up 😆 Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for your comment! That made my day! I tried to put up content that I wish I would’ve seen when I was first starting out. Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for watching! Yes I photo shop it out. It’s so easy to do that now with generative fill. I like the flash as close as I can get it so I get softer light
Cool Vid! What would have been interesting also (maybe you can do a part two to this video) is if you went over camera settings and what you did to balance the two light sources to make them seem cohesive.
Dm me on Instagram and I can tell you my settings. I basically always expose for the sky, start my flash and low power, and then raise it up until I get the look I want
Great video!!! I think with a lot of photographers, is that they haven't learned portrait lighting patterns. Direct hard light sculpts better than soft light. The trick to shooting with hard light is to use light patterns.
@@scottstocktonphotography not really just probably getting clients and promotions on business myself have my photography mostly on Facebook and Instagram and now Tik Tok
@@scottstocktonphotography I’d love to hear some tips on the business side of things! Client gallery delivery, contracts, contact templates! Keep up the great work brother I’ll be watching for the next one 📸
