Tony shows you how to use flash (or a strobe or a monolight) outdoors in full sun. You can either balance the sunlight as fill flash (to create a nice catchlight in the eyes) or you can completely overpower the sun and make the background completely black.
Here’s the strobe Tony is using:

HI Tony, where can i buy a similar " model" ? its very good tool
You take so much guess work out of the equation.
D U D E! Awesome tutorial on how to use a strobe outside, also vs the sun. Thank you!
What do you think of Masking the subject on LR? Do you still think we need flash in this case?
No more using handheld flash meter, eh? So basically, use the widest aperture (F2.8 or smaller), & smaller ISO settings, the shutter speed depends on if you want a light or dark background, and the monolight/strobelight adjusted to light the main subject. Am I correct? Great tips!
Cheating on Chelsea huh? I see you got you a new girl there. Chelsea was much more lively though.
🤣🤣🤣
Tony, changing the Aperture would make the background more dark? 4:08
So does a high speed sync just mean that the flash fires multiple times ?
One of the best photography instructors online.
This is expert level advice and a lot of photography wisdom compacted in a 7mn of video tutorial.
Could not thank you enough. Much appreciated.
Great tutorial, thank you!
Finally….a model who isn't a fidgeting mess and knows her left from her right. What needs to be mentioned here…..Tony's gross overall #'s only work because the strobe he's using has the ability to hyper-sync, exceeding the typical max for flash sync/ 1/250th./sec. IF you don't have a light source that could do that you'll be playing some other cards, including ND filters, etc.
I was OMG what is wrong w her. She look alil off.
Great video!!! Please do reviews on the different flashes out there. Would love to see a review!
so if 1/1 means "full power", does that mean it's just relative to what flash you have? would 1/1 on the ad600 be as bright as 1/1 on a tt860?
You know what? I love you man! 🙏🙏
Man you suck
awesome tutorial ! ^^ thank you !
Awesome and to the point. It’s worth noting for people new to flash like me. Full power on the light Tony is using equals 4 speed lights at full power.
What is the device you use on your camera that can control the flash, settings, etc.?
