In this video I show you 3 ways which you can use a softbox for wedding photography. These setups are all simple and create beautiful light for your photographs.
As softboxes are large light sources, they create softer light than either bare speedlights or smaller modifiers. This soft light looks beautiful when used for wedding portraits.
All the photographs in this video were taken on my Sony A9II with my Sony 85mm f1.8 lens.
I lit the couple with a Godox V860 inside the MagBox Pro 42" octa softbox

    If you continue to use & support Adobe products you are a complete idiot. Adobe are using your content to train their AI & that AI is going to be used to replace creatives so that corporate marketing wankers can simply type a few key words & generate the content instead of paying people like you to make it. Photographers, musicians, designers, videographers, cartoonists & many others will be out of a job. Create your content manually, store your data locally & avoid AI based or cloud anything.

    Hi Neal! As always awesome video! Question if task is to darken all scene and light only couple is it possible to use shoot through umbrella in tight space? Putting it very close.

    • @NeilRedfern
      @NeilRedfern Před 12 dny

      Thank you very much! Good question - I would expect an umbrella to create beautiful light as the ligh😀t source is very large, but also more light spill - so I imagine it would work great outside but maybe tricky inside if you want to control the light. But I have never used an umbrella so I am only guessing. It would definitely be worth trying 😊

    I always love your style. Im not looking to shoot weddings, but portraits and maybe boudoir soon. Your videos are a gem and very helpful. The one question I have right now is, is the flash pointed directly at them, or do you have it feathered across them? Its always so hard to tell. Thanks in advance for your reply Neil. Keep it up !!!!

    • @NeilRedfern
      @NeilRedfern Před 12 dny

      Thank you very much! Great question, in this video the light was pointing at them but I do love to feather the light and the light created using that technique can be stunning so I would suggest trying both ways to see which works best for you, but both would work great - the main thing is having the light source large and close

    Nice shots but I'm triggered by you shooting all these shots into the sun with your lens hood on backwards... Please either take it off or use it the way it's intended, to reduce flare and increase contrast in these exact situations! And that way people like me won't be triggered by it being on the lens the wrong way around! 😂
