    I learned to twist the on-camera-flash to bounce off the gold reflector – that's important and enough for me 🙂

  2. LAZY DOG says

    Don’t like blown highlights.

  3. John Ryan says

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

  4. Ted Lauck says

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

  5. pipok mgl says

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

  6. Froman Abe says

    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?

  7. Chris Shepard says

    what camera was used for this shot?

  8. Csoery says

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

  9. Daiva P R says

    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.😊

  10. Michael -Kunk- Flynn says

    Great video and tips!!
    But at 6:13 'Catelyn spraining her wrist while Mom and Dad are holding her hand' sounds bad.

  11. Marcel van Lierop says

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

  12. Andrew Aragala says

  16. Cr3 Media says

    Nice pic.

  17. I A says

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

  18. kvdgadj says

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

  19. Emanuel Rahmanan says

    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.

  20. Tony Berry says

    You're a genius!!

  21. Liverpix says

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

  22. Laurie Callahan says

    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.)

  23. Elliot Haney says

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