On Camera Lighting for Family Portraits | Lighting 101

hi sir.
Thanks for this video. I have one question. and hope u can help me. what you can say about rogue diffuser? or what u recommend for outdoor shot sir. simple setup. thanks a lot.

I just did family pictures yesterday, it was exhausting because you're right about that you had to move quickly and fun at the same time.

Awesome tutorial.. have a few families coming up soon, going to have this in my back pocket now!!

Do you have tutorials for those of us doing this without an assistant? (I have been doing this many years and that is not going to happen.)

What do you do if you don't have an assistant to hold up reflectors/etc. ? Working with one flashgun ?

You're a genius!!

hey does anyone have a good flash to buy that can get the job done and isnt too complicated. i own the yn600ex rt and hate it.

Not a pro. Just a hobby. Not going to use the reflectors and stand a lot. Can I rent them anywhere?

I really appreciate your lessons... so well explained and easy to follow

Nice pic.

where can I get a shirt like that?

how is that on camera lighting ?

Good one mate

Absolutely loved the case study! The initial thoughts, how to tackle challenges, your final solutions. THAT is teaching. Big thanks!

Don't you think the bounced light is a bit harsh? Probably we are viewing this in Srgb format, I am getting that feel or the apple screen is giving that impression. I am sure the original pic must be looking much better.😊

The photo turned out great but the parents are so fake it's sickening...

what camera was used for this shot?

What is a "white over silver" reflector? Is the assistant holding two reflectors? i.e. a silver behind a white scrim? So not too much of the flash is lost?

i think you should've put a reflector on the right side of the subject

This guy’s great! For some reason he reminds me of David Copperfield

Thanks for the video. Just starting use flash and this helped

Don’t like blown highlights.

What the Time of shoots?

These are ok, but it's obvious a flash was used. Just watch Julia Trotti's videos on natural light photography, or shooting under harsh sunlight. The results are way better than this.

For a larger group, say 10+, would you be able to use this technique? You would have to move away quite a bit from the group and the flash would be losing so much of its power? Have you ever tried this with a speedlight or would you switch to a stronger flash? Thank you.

Great video and helpful simple suggestions. Thank you!

I have my first family photoshoot on Saturday and I am thinking of using my 75-300mm lens is that good for family portraits?

Love your channel. Discovered you on the fstopper challenge.

Thanks for the video. what f,stop you shoot this Portrait ,you did not have a lightmeter how you determine what amateur you use thanks

Thank you , i am going to use this bounce idea !

Stumbled across your tutorial: so informative and helpful. Thank you.

f 2.0 for a group shot? wow!

Hpw do you turn the flash to the side?

Thanks for many helpful tips and an on location light setup

Wow I loved this content.I have a doubt, what if we use 85mm or135mm lens, I mean the subject will be far and the reflector cannot bounce back to subject face as illustrated here! In that case only strobe is the only way to go or is there any other options? Pls reply

Very good video. I want to start doing this with my family, and this was a great tutorial.

Just starting out with family portraits for my church. Looks like I have a LOT of things to consider not only about the family but the location as well. Thank you for the insightful approach.

I can't wait to try this on my next family session 👍

SO SIMPLE!! YESS

Dads legs ruin this shot. The lighting is good, dads legs are too prominent in the frame. Just my opinion.

Thank you so much for those great tips!

SUPER. SUPER , THE BEST

So stinking good! Never thought about lighting like this.

Talking too much!! Show results!

great video!!

Only thing I don’t like is the tree growing out of the girls head😅

Wow...this was great info. I really like you idea of bouncing from the speedlight!!

I know im 7 years late, but what type of speedlight did you use?

I love this nigga!
