How I expose my images for my strobe 📸🤙🏾
-
There’s tons of ways to expose your image, but this is MY way on how I do it every time in order to get the images I produce 💸

📸
I try to keep the Metered Manual (MM) around -1 to -1.7 because when I’m shooting I want the subject to stand out from the background as much as possible when I add my strobe to the mix. 

📸
The way you get to those numbers is all dependent on how you tweak your settings. I keep my F stop as low as possible so I can keep my blurry background, and then I I just tweak the shutter and iso depending on what I’m shooting. I’ll raise the shutter if there’s motion or lower the shutter if there’s not much motion at all, and then I just use the iso to gauge where the meters going to go. 

After that I turn the trigger back on and then incorporate the flash 📸🤙🏾.
