- My name is Manuel Ortiz and I am a portrait photographer from Chicago,IL. Today, I wanted to make a small demo video for beginner strobist on HSS and why it is so essential for on location portrait work. For the more advanced photogs, the way I balanced the ambient with flash in this video was purposeful. I didn't want a dark background but more of a naturally balanced look. I hope you guys enjoy the video and subscribe because more content is on the way!

To see the difference in how well you speak now in front of the camera and edit your videos . Thanks this was helpful !
Hahaha I just noticed that. I have been following Manny since last year, he is really good at speaking in front the camera already. And today I watched this video for a few first minutes, I was like ok let me see how old was this video lol
Manny, I wish you went up two stops higher speed keeping the background a bit less exposed. Then step up the flash to one fourth or something like that. Probably you would have had more dramatic effect to show the power of high-speed sync. Just my thoughts.
I would LOVE to see a modern day version of this video...especially with all the skills and equipment you have now.
For me the biggest advantage of high speed sync is capturing movement in indoor scenarios. If I need the shutter to be 1/500 or 1/1000 that's super helpful. I've never thought of using it for outdoor portraits like this. I feel like in this instance I do prefer the 5.6 image, but in a lot of scenarios this could be valuable. Thanks Manny!
Manny, I appreciate your expertise and photography advice!
Thanks for showing your camera settings while shooting. That was extremely helpful. Great teaching!!!
Hi Manny - loving it your videos.. on High Speed Sync ,,, great help for amatuer photographers like me
I know this video is older but this information was much needed. A lot of creators talk about HSS but do not give the perspective and comparison you just did. Major KUDOS to you, Manny.
Great video as always. Quick to the point good information got to see what the difference great video 👍
Gorgeous . Thanks for this video on HHS. Beautiful pictures
Wow man...what a difference 3 years in production value can make...then vs. now....great videos.
Buen video 👍👍 lo mejor de todo que puedo ver los settings que usas en cada foto 👍 soy fanatico de tus videos
Lol I watched your recent video comparing it to this one... Lol the change is epic
My problem with the Sony A6500 is the 1/4000 second shutter limitation. Often on bright Southern California days, I could really use a faster shutter speed (like 1/8000) to shoot wide open with a f/1.4 or even f/1.8 lens.
I will be getting the A7iii in the foreseeable future but, it the interim, I will slap on a either a CPL or a ND filter to tone down the light and let me shoot at the slower shutter speed.
Great vid. Thanks.
Good examples thank you.
Manny, Can you please show how to use gels in portrait shoot especially the Magmod ones.
I live in Brooklyn and it’s something about having a softbox on a stand with no one to help, makes me fear someone is gonna run up and steal my light. Brooklyn has change but the Brooklyn in me knows how shit was back in the day.
Same here in Brussels, Belgium
Jersey City here
I’m in bk too lol I’m scared to have to chase down some nigga who thinks I’m slow one day
I am justy a bit concerned about the bokeh on the stone - its kinda broken. Is it true optical bokeh?
MainManManny I’ve been in photography only a year now. Would you please do another tutorial on soft box positions compared to sun positions during our peak photography times you learnt me including shadows, fades etc with HSS flash?Keep up the good work in explaining without making it look like rocket science like the other youtubers lol we won’t mention names. Thanks
i have the a6300 would i still get the same results with he Sony - Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm
?
You’re very good at this! Thanks for breaking it down.
I have an a6400 and I’m looking for a decent off camera flash. Any recommendations?
Great video and great shot, thanks a lot !
I was wondering what are your thoughts on usind a shoot through umbrella VS soft box for an outside photo session like this one ?
Typicaly, the problem with an umbrella would be the indirect light coming from the reflection on walls and other surfaces, where a softbox provide a single source of light. But for an outside photo session, there is not really other surfaces nearby for the light to reflect on, so would you get equivalent result using shoot through umbrella instead of softbox.
I´m asking because I´m not to keen on carrying around and setting up a softbox for exterior photoshoot...
6:44 Beautiful shot!
What do you think about ND filter to achieve semiliar results like that with high speed sync?
Thank you as I am now understanding the hi sync thing. Sad for me my SK400ii does not support HiSync.
I just sold them and bought AD200
Looking at this video you’ve come a long ways Bro.
I have noticed that in hig speed sinc the power of the flash drops drammatically. The AD600 has more power so less problems. With the ad200 I have, it's a bit more challenging. Furthermore I have seen that the extenal lightmeters are inefficient in high speed sinc.. so I guess only by different attempts you may have the right power to be settled, doesn't it? Do you have some tips more to help to settle the flash power?
I'm a bokeh fan. But for this shoot I actually liked the f5 ones better
Jona I agree. I love bokeh, but I also liked how the tower/boat was framed with the the model. Once bokeh was introduced, it completely blew it out and there is no longer anything to appreciate besides the subject. Not all images need to be bokeh-licious.
Photography is not about bokeh it's all about showing the people the story in it...
The reason f5 works here is that there is enought seperation from the model to create some subtle bokeh. At larger apertures it just blurs out. Its all about how you look at it. To me f5 is pleasing.
Yeah there is this silly belief that good photos mean lots of bokeh... When in fact it often fails to tell a story. The f5 looks great because it invites you into the BG and tells a story of where this girl is. So much more interesting. Chasing this want to blur out the background is ridiculous, sometimes I think they may as well shoot in the studio and not on location because they just want to blur it out...
Yeah f/5 is better than f/1.4
Hi Manny, i want to know if the pictures that you show are edited or not? If they are edited,please do a video on editing, the pictures are dope.
Great shoot bro. Learning so much. Great video
Hi Manuel. How you choose the velocity of camera. Example the 1/4000?
im so confused im shooting with the A7RIII and Godox V1, how do i turn on HSS? like its an option or??
So you just set the flash manually and cut the power until you got the flash exposure that you wanted in HSS?
Ur the best! I love u man
So what I got out of the video is HSS allows you to drop the f stop to achieve the bokeh without overexposure.
Instead of using HSS to achieve this, can you not just use an ND filter? Keep it at 1/250, drop to f1.4, and correct the over exposure with the filter?
What light box are u using?..u dont hv that in the links..pls add it
Impressed
Best HSS informative here
Hey man, you described Sony A9 at Gear used on video, but you are shooting on Sony A7R ii. Mistake ? :)
How to enable HSS. I have sony SLT A58, Godox AD200, and Sony X1T-s trigger, but still beyond 1/250 sync speed (shutter speed) during bright day light, I am getting dark bands on the face of the photograph. What is the solution. Thanks.
You should activate HSS mode at your trigger.
Good quick video showing the concept, thanks. (I agree with some of the others - might be best to ditch the gum in videos.)
Lovely
Awesome vid
How to enable hss on Sony A7III ?
In sunny day even in open space, we can take low key photography with the help of HSS. Why you didn't try it...?
idol how you set the hss in sony a7rii?
What aperture did you use at the 6:42 mimute mark? That was an awsome shot!
Could you tell me exactly where you were taking these pictures in Chicago? what exit? Thank you for a beautiful video
I love seeing how awkward Manny's vids used to be. My man has grown a lot! And it's kinda funny to look back to. :p much respect.
Dude it’s actually embarrassing lol
@@MannyOrtiz inspiring is the word I'd use! Thank you for the information you share. I truly enjoy learning about photography from you.
I've a HSS godox Xpro trigger and Ad200 Pro ..
The Camera I own is Nikon D5300.
But I cannot go beyond 1/200 ss. Please Revert on this.
Chi town beach that was funny
Good to see how far you have come.
I still prefer Profoto.
You should do one of those.
What the HSS do you use, Manny?
where can i buy that umbrella for the flash?
can you leave a link for what flash you used and trigger?
+ZRowedaArtist Views check out my favorite photography gear down below
This video was posted a year ago. Is there an affordable flash better than the Xplor, now?
Miley onDisney I use the yongnuo ex rt 600s. So cheap and they work awesome with the yongnuo trigger
Michael Miller that's not in the same league for power, especially in a large soft box!
She's very good, and so was your explanation
How do I use HSS on Nikon d5200 when it doesn't have the HSS functionality?
Very nice video
How to turn on hi speed sycn mood on a7iii😞
so smaller the aperture the greater the shutter speed for high speed sync to make her pop?
A small aperture requires a slow shutter speed. HSS allows the use of fast shutter speeds and hence large apertures.
Great simple video. Thanks.
Great video Manny, but the B Roll music is much too loud. I have to adjust volume back and forth.
So my question is [& im sure has been asked 1000 times , and if you have a video please link it to me]
Should we go with a Monolight or an OCF ?! Ive watched your vids and seen you use both.
So if i want to portrait photography like yourself with a light that can be versatile enough for inside and out... which is the best option? Thanks !
or maybe i mean strobe vs. speedlight... im a beginner forgive me
Great video and results my dude! Love your work. Please come to Philly! :D
The colors are “blah” is it because overcast ?
Hey Manny. I need your thoughts. I’m subscribed btw. I just bought a Nikon Z9 with all the 1.8’s and recently the 1.2’s. I also just ordered the Nikon sb5000 flash but I’m looking into getting a Godox but I don’t know which is the best. I only like the best of the best products. Any suggestions? Thanks man!😊. Btw, I shot people not animals. No studio.
So basically high-speed sync is simply opening wide aperture and taking up the shutter speed to get the right exposure, rather than a more closed aperture and slower shutter? There’s no actual setting on the camera or flash where you must select “high-speed sync”?
You can use ND filter instead of hss
Or if you don’t have capable hss flash or strobe
No
How you chage to HSS?
Hey i too want to know how to switch on hss .
Help me if you have found it.
I would like to see the diference between 1/250 f1.4 and 1/4000 f1.4....
check out the exposure triangle
Listen that gum must good bc you're smacking lol
Yeah, I noticed near the start of the video it was even hanging halfway out of his mouth!
i don't consider myself a photographer but i like taking pics every now and then. anyway, i actually prefer the f5.0 shots over the f1.4 ones. just my opinion.
binge watching your stuff. Great work, but the gum popping is killing me lol.
I didnt even notice im to busy soaking up the knowledge!!
I need those pants :p
The 5.0 is actually better for this composition, but still a good demonstration
I seriously fucks with you on this: I thank you! im happy
I have noticed with aperture f1.4 only eyes are perfectly sharp, while the rest of the body is blurry to some extent and skin has no texture and fine details. What's the point of buying high resolution camera just to blur everything🤮
7:28 best shot.
most awkward intro ever lol but the video is good!
Either way your sky is blown out in all of them😂
Buy a light meter
D C no need for a light meter. The Godox ST-IV is the perfect solution. It has a feature of TTL Convert to Manual. Basically, you with meter or take a shot in TTL, and press the button to convert the variable TTL value to a fixed Manual value. From there, you can fine tune with third stops or one-tenth of a stop. It’s an awesome feature. But it only works with TTL flashes.
@@FemOdelPhotography that’s correct✌🏻. I’ve used it and it works like charm.
6:32 is why photographers can't have nice shoes ...too much bending . Manny actually sat on his shoes lol 😁
1,2,3? Really? And not looking through the view finder?
My question is what’s wrong with what he is doing.
Just think it’s strange.
Wide open looks too soft. Try using 1.6-2.2 instead of 1.4. Most lenses excel at clarity around 4-7.1
good friend if you didn't feel doing the video ...you should have not... your energy was not the same ... you forgot even the name of your model... believe me when I say we are your viewers and we will wait for your quality videos... we know we will get the best of you ... in this one you feel like improvising and plowing through...
Don't bother listing your models IG, we really don't want to know.
too much back ground clutter...look at Arthur St. John's shooting with flash.
HSS looks much better than NDs
I don't like the compositions in these photos
What... You just have wasted a beautiful panorama with that f1.4.
Expose for the sky in HSS! Blown-out skies suck.
Not much difference
Good information, wrong situation to use it. You completely shit the bed on this one by blurring out what really made the shot beautiful. By using bohak here you might as well put her on a seamless backdrop because there's nothing special about the shot anymore. Like I'm sure somewhere in a photography 101 it says "tho shall not blur out seaside light house backdrop for cheese bohak effect" . Shame on you!
Lol so basically hss isn't really necessary. Understanding your gear is far more important
The shutter speed isn't 250. It is 1/250. Huge difference.
Ha ha. The gears are waste in your hands.
Can you do some videos on your post production?!? Please and thank you
