Transcript

Before and better, flash totally changes an image. Let me show you how we shot it. The art direction for this project was American summer. Think references like old American muscle cars going for a swim, being excited for school to start having a picnic, and our number one challenge was dealing with daylight shadows. So I used a flash, the I t 30 pro from Godox. Flash cuts those shadows down, and it creates a higher contrast, more editorial look. And you can mount it right on your camera or sync it wirelessly with a trigger. I like this light. After taking it for a test run, it's got some power, it refreshes quickly, and it's real portable. It took me from this to this, this to this, and this to this. And if you wanna know my camera and lighting settings, here's how I set them up. Hope it helps.
