Level up your senior portrait game! 📸
Join portrait photographer @shootwithray as he takes us on a deep dive into capturing stunning high school senior portraits in two completely different environments: a moody indoor library and a bright, sun-drenched outdoor location.
In this tutorial, Ray demonstrates how to use the Westcott FJ250 and FJ400 to transform ordinary scenes into extraordinary shots. You’ll learn how to build a "base template" for indoor settings, how to use creative gels to add a pop of color, and the secret to balancing powerful off-camera flash with high-noon ambient light.
What you’ll learn in this video:
• How to dial in your camera settings for indoor flash photography.
• Creating a "magical" glow effect using the Westcott S18 Mini Flash.
• Balancing bright sunlight with the FJ250 for bold outdoor portraits.
• Using the FJ-X3 trigger’s "Standby Mode" for a faster workflow.
• Adding creative color to your backgrounds using FlexiGels.
