Can You Shoot Pro Photos With Just One Light?

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.
