I learned daylight and flash lighting assisting top wedding photographer Monte Zucker back in 1972-1974 who introduced the use of off camera flash for shooting weddings and did all his formal portraits by north facing window light, both with careful attention to lighting pattern and precise facial angles. His flash approach was based on a strategy of always controlling lighting ratio by using one flash over the lens of the camera as centered fill, with the bracket raising it enough to hide the shadow it created down behind the subjects, and the second flash as Key light usually placed 45° to the side of nose of the subject because that models the 3D shape of the nose and facial features in a very flattering way and creates a “mask” pattern of highlights on the forehead, eyes, cheeks, mouth and chin which on a darker background creates eye catching and attention holding contrast on the eyes and mouth. Positioning the off camera flash so it was always one stop brighter than the fill on the bracket over the camera using relatives distances between lights per the inverse square law - e.g. fill @ 8ft / key @ 5.6ft or fill @ 11ft and key @ 8ft - created a 2:1 incident lighting ratio which allowed recording good detail in the shadow of the black suits of the men and the white dress of the bride. He taught that method to hundreds of other PPofA pros at conventions and private classes. Outdoors in sunlight to deal with the excessive contrast we’d always use the sun as back rim lighting, facing the subjects into the indirect skylight. Skylight while diffuse does have direction that will create a highlight pattern faces. So as with window lighting we’d first pose the face to that dominant direction at 45° to get the flattering 3D modeling and importantly have the subjects lift their faces into the light so the brow did not shade the eyes. Then instead of trying to overpower or cancel the natural light we’d place the key flash so it matched the modeling direction of the skylight at a distance where it was 2x brighter than the fill on the camera. It was really as simple logistically as using a single flash off camera with the added benefit of not having any dark distracting unfilled shadows on the face or clothing which will occur if a fill flash is not used.

Hi Steven. Flash output and shutter speed usually are not usually connected UNLESS the flash is in HSS (high speed sync) mode. Then the shorter the shutter speed, the more the flash has to pulse and so each pulse is a lower light output. That's probably a massive oversimplification of HSS but it's as technical as I get 😉

@@GavinHoey Hi Gavin, first of all, thank you for responding to my comment. I always watch your videos no matter what my thoughts are. I did not mean any disrespect or mean to offend you. Your videos are always great, and I consistently watch your videos. In regard to your question, one suggestion I can think of is something like your past Halloween video using branches, white balance adjustment and smoke resulting in a very scary and dramatic photo, but the challenge here is not to use a smoke machine. I am a little averse to using smoke machines, since some people could be allergic to the chemicals. So how can we get the desired effect without using smoke either using a machine or in post. Another suggestion I can think of is shadowless background and floor lighting, with the subject still having the desired shadows. Third one would be a 3D looking picture. I will post more suggestions as I can think of.

When you are working with ambient light and using an artificial strobe to enhance do you follow the direction of the ambient light? What I mean is do you fill the shadows from the other side?
@GavinHoey

Good question. As a rough rule I try and keep my models face in as much shade as possible 1:36 A small amount of full summer sun (even for me in the UK) is enough to make a hot spot on the the face which isn't going away. After that, if there's an obvious direction of light in the background, it's logical to try and match that with the fill flash.

Gavin, i always watch your videos. I learnt a lot with them. Question: you said that if you adjust your shutter speed, you would have to adjust your flash power. But I thought that the shutter speed wouldn't affect the flash, only the ambient light? Thank you.
@GavinHoey
Жыл бұрын
You're sort of correct. Usually shutter speed isn't a device to control flash BUT there's always an exception to every rule and this is it. High Speed Sync (HSS) flash output varies with shutter speed. Basically the shorter the shutter speed the less flash power you get at any given flash power setting. It bends my mind a bit, so I try not to get bogged down with the technical aspects. Test it for yourself and accept what you see 😉

In HSS, the flash is basically acting like a continuous light, so it is affected by shutter speed the same as any continuous light is.
