Can't wait to chat with you all!

Heck yes! I love Matt's work and I'm a total newbie to off camera lighting. Matt, can you talk through the shutter drag technique? That's how you made these photos, right? (I screen shot this from your Instagram purely to ask this question!)

Yes! I'm happy to talk about that on Friday - see you there!

Hey Matt!  First, thank you for all your videos, you have inspired me with your creativity, especially with your "sportraits".  

My question for you is do you do any photography just for you (landscape, street photography, etc.)?

 

[Toni Z]

Thank you for sharing so many tips and behind the scenes looks for all of us! I love following your accounts and videos! My question is do you feel that you can get the same type of shots you get without having high-speed sync lights? Or do you feel high-speed sync is a must? I have great lights but they are not HSS (Einsteins) and to switch would be a pretty significant investment for a hobbyist like me.

Excited to join in on this tomorrow!

What's your favorite type of photography?
