Here are 10 tips for taking portraits at night using off camera flash (OCF). I’ve included a few photos from my portrait sessions at night as well as a couple of BTS photos. =)
Personally, taking photos at night was a real challenge so I came up with these tips to help you get the best photos at night. You can take these tips and apply them to any low light condition such as event photography (Quiñceneras or Weddings).

sir please make a video about coler gel on flash like tt600 for night photo
thanks a lot man
Nice Sum-up. Gel video would be nice too
does the IBIS on sony works on full manual lens? like samyang/rokinon
Most underrated Youtubers in the photography category: "Nightscape Images"( Nightscape photography), "Mark Smith" (Wildlife and landscape), FJH Photography (Portrait & Flash photography). Youtube, you should highlight these amazing talents in your upcoming rewind video
Canon 6d or a7 ii ?
I do find if I use a very wide aperture. A small shake in the camera can throw the focus off. I hate it when the eyes look blurry. I see you used a tripod…. probably something to do with the wide aperture???
Good stuff. Thanks
Fun video! Thanks
This was awesome. I couldn’t figure out that one thing that I was doing wrong. Lowering the shutter speed was my missing price for the ambient light
Great job man, one of the better tutorials on flash photography at night! I'm currently using an a6500 too with an 18-35 Sigma.
A quick question, how would you have your speedlight angled if you're photographing an outdoor party at night with no ceilings or walls to bounce off? I've always heard it's not recommended to face it directly at a subject. With no other alternatives i'm thinking if flash caps and weakening the flash output to like 1/64. Not looking to purchase a transmitter to have off camera angled lighting just yet.
Any advice appreciated, cheers!
I would also add that regardless of how informative and well done your video's are…you speak 'way' to fast my friend! So much so that it sometimes is difficult to fully catch everything your saying. Other than that, keep up the good work young man.
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Francisco, your suggestion are very good. On the other hand, I agree with some of the people here who have commented that you talk too fast. Slow down a little bit and doing so will improve your videos greatly.
How do you shoot with the 135L at 1/10th? Did you mount the tripod?
5:44
Great tips sir thank you so much
Thanks
i just realized that the ad200 godox ttl does not work the same as those ttl speedlight do. and its not that accurate though… a bit disappointed..
can you still use ad200 godox to shoot in the night?
Отличный формат видео. Интересные съемки, шикарные фото. Заинтересовало Оборудование.
Good video, but you speak way too fast. Slow down a little.
0:29 with ISO 1000 how much noise did you get?
hahaha the commented photos are GOLD
is it possible to take 8 second speed for the model remain steady
Man your photos are so good……
Will the red focus assist grids work with the sony cameras? I heard a rumour that they only work with dslrs
Great Video!
Thumbs up for Ryan! Nice video, thanks.
