Can You Shoot Pro Photos With Just One Light?

Video Description

This is Part 2 to my Lighting Series: Ever wondered how to create stunning, professional portraits using just one light? In this video, I take you behind the scenes of my lighting series and show you how to shoot amazing outdoor portraits using off-camera flash (OCF) and the natural beauty of golden hour. Watch as I walk through my real photo shoot setup on location near Lubbock, TX — from lighting placement to camera settings — and show you how I blend natural sunlight with flash for that dramatic, high-end look. Then, join me in the editing room where I reveal my entire workflow — from Lightroom to Photoshop and even Evoto — to show how I take my images from straight-out-of-camera to final, polished masterpieces. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned photographer, this video will help you learn how to make the most of just one light and start creating powerful portraits anywhere. 👇 In this video, you’ll learn: ✅ How to balance ambient light with off-camera flash ✅ How to position your subject for golden hour portraits ✅ How to use the Godox AD600, Cheetah stand, and a 32x40 softbox ✅ My real-world camera settings (Sony A7R V, 50–150mm F2) ✅ Lightroom + Photoshop workflow ✅ My secret color-grading technique and skin retouching process in Evoto 💡 Pro Tip: You don’t need a studio — you just need one light and the right approach.
