Video walkthrough of our Senior Photo shoot. Check us out on: Instagram: @mikecyrus1 @chrismikeimages TikTok @mikecyrus1 Website: www.christophermichaelimages.com
When you were talking about share the spots I was like ya it's the same with seascape photography :D It was so nice asking each other "Oh sorry, Am I in your shot?" and making sure we are respecting each other and also saying hello fellow photographer :) I just love the photography community
Been following on Tiktok. This whole time I have been thinking this guy has great content. If only there was a way to get more info in one setting. Great video, looking forward to more content.
a very great content, i really do actually enjoy your video, very helpful and very informative!! u deserve more subs! u just got yourself one sub! love from Kuching, Borneo.
Unfortunately most speed lites are mostly 100w. Which means it won't have the power to really expose your subject while keeping the background exposed properly with a soft box. You may try a couple speed lites or you can get an ND filter which will allow you to keep your shutter speed under 1/200 of a sec.
Great content Michael. I especially appreciate the bit on sharing with other photographers. There’s nothing worse than a tog thinking he/she owns an entire area. Respecting each other is key.
Thank you If you show respect you will get it in return maybe not that day LOL But people are watching and I’ve gained a client due to their Photograhers rude behavior to others
at 5:00, you moved the flash a little far away, will the flash still provide enough power for 3/4 lenghth portrait? (the previous shot you already go with 1/1 full power)
You've got me interested in learning flash photography. I have a Canon 77d. The shutter only goes to 4000 where your using 6400. Do I need a better camera body. I was planning on buying the godox ad200 until I seen this video. Would the ad200 work outside? What lenz where you using. Thanks for the help and nice work!
A single AD200 won’t give you the power to shoot with an aperture of f2.8 or below. At best you would have to shoot at least f5.6. You won’t get the depth of field but still be able to get good enough lighting on your subject. I started out with two ad200s. There are flash mounts for using two of them.

For the zoom I do the best I can to have the most amount of zoom causes background bokeh the best. Power on the flash I set it buy taking a shot too bright turn it down. Not bright enough turn it up or move it closer. Seems simple but in practice it works well
Angela Bowe i believe the AD600 is the most versatile. The AD200s are great same with the 400. But if you are looking for something to cancel out the sun the AD600 is the way to go.

Nice video. I have a question. You are using godox ad600 which is way more powerful than a speedlight. I have a godox tt600 speedlight with a 60cm softbox. How will the distance from the subject change considering the same harsh light situation?
The issue you will have is the tt600 will not be able to cancel out the harsh light on its own if you are trying to expose for the sky. It just doesn’t have the power to do it. What you can try and do is adjust your settings as best you can to bring the sky out as much as possible for the flash to still put good light on your subject. The closer you have the flash to you subject the more you will be able to adjust for the sky.
"if you see a bride, she owns it" haha cool. So respectful.
Wonderful video! Love how you walk through the process of lighting, shooting angles, posing, and even promoting the changing tent! Well done!
Just perfect Mike. Love it!
You should for SURE do more Instagram videos. One of the best I’ve seen. Off camera flash is what sets apart photographers from artists. Thank you!!!
Wow! Impressive photos
Great content Mike! Enjoyed seeing how you expose for the background first and then shoot the subject.
Thank you!!! I tried to simply it without spending too much time on it!! Thanks again Todd
Love your video! Please do more with lighting and how you determine your settings. Thank you!
Love your attitude- and thoroughness. Appreciate your video- got another subscriber ❗

Been following on Tiktok. This whole time I have been thinking this guy has great content. If only there was a way to get more info in one setting. Great video, looking forward to more content.

Excellent video! I just bought of camera flash and canon m50, would a 50mm lens I have be ok for this type shoot or stick with kit lens?
i love this video... keep it up sir
Thank you!!
Thank you Donny
Great Video !
Fantastic described.. Can i get closer output by any regular speed light soft box..pls advice.. Thnx
Unfortunately most speed lites are mostly 100w. Which means it won't have the power to really expose your subject while keeping the background exposed properly with a soft box. You may try a couple speed lites or you can get an ND filter which will allow you to keep your shutter speed under 1/200 of a sec.
When your trying to expose for the sky how do you know what the settings are?

Are you getting your reading settings from auto mode?
i enjoy the video :D
Do you focus on the model after you focus for the background when your ready to shoot with the flash or still on the back ground then shoot?
you are only exposing for the background then focus on the model
Which camera were you using
You should put the link to get the flash and the lends 😁 nice video

Are there any videos you would like seen done? Like mirrorless camera trials or maybe highend camera vs entry level ? Let me know what you want to see
Mirrorless camera trials sound like a good video idea.
I would be interested to see the entry level vs the more expensive camera. Also how you pick your locations.
I would like to see what lenses do you use and like the most. And also how you keep the subject in focus and the background blurred. Thanks
Prefer entry level camera, cannon rebel t7
Posing, Framing - backstory / scouting for Locations
Was the model blown out when exposed for her face at @6:48 ??? I don't think so!!
What is that device called that you are using to view the images on your screen as you go? Great video.
It’s a camera view finder 1.5 x times it’s about $30
What’s a tip on figuring out your zoom and power?
For the zoom I do the best I can to have the most amount of zoom causes background bokeh the best. Power on the flash I set it buy taking a shot too bright turn it down. Not bright enough turn it up or move it closer. Seems simple but in practice it works well
do you happen to own a nikon and show your skills on that or the difference in the cameras or lens
Yes chris the guy filming is 100% nikon we will do that
Great questions
Thank you
Good photos bro... What are the camera and lens ?
Canon 5d mark iv and 85 1.8
11:40 what if this things fly away while models changing their cloths?
Are you shooting wide open on what ever lens you are using or shooting F4 and above ?
Shooting at f1.8-2.8 pretty much the entire time.
Can you put a link to where you got that extension thing for your light and the bag it’s in

@@ChristopherMichaelImages Thank you
Thank you for this! Which Godox do you recommend?
Angela Bowe i believe the AD600 is the most versatile. The AD200s are great same with the 400. But if you are looking for something to cancel out the sun the AD600 is the way to go.
Which stand are you using?
It’s the Neewer stainless steel

Saw you on TikTok
Yesss thank you !! I believe I follow you
she's pretty

I have a question. You are using godox ad600 which is way more powerful than a speedlight. I have a godox tt600 speedlight with a 60cm softbox. How will the distance from the subject change considering the same harsh light situation?

The closer you have the flash to you subject the more you will be able to adjust for the sky.
I just see your TikTok
I like no post 😂😆
bro your intro is so long. also that grid is called a honey comb. great video though and beautiful shots! thanks!
The grid was completely useless. It hardens the light and reduces flash output.
