This one is a little different and a lot of fun. Flash Masters co-founder Neil Redfern takes the hot seat himself, sharing behind-the-scenes video from 10 of his favourite recent images from weddings, shoots, and workshops, before live-editing a selection of them in Lightroom and Photoshop so you can see exactly how he gets from capture to final result.

Neil walks through his layer-based approach to off-camera flash starting with ambient light, exposing for the highlights, and then painting the couple in with flash in a way that is clear, practical, and genuinely demystifying. If you have ever found off-camera flash confusing, this stream will change that.

The live editing section is equally brilliant: full of tips on masking, brushes, generative fill, matching exposures, and how to blend plate shots - all explained in real time with real images.

This is a stream for photographers at every level, from complete beginners to those who just want to see how a very experienced photographer actually works in practice. Wonderfully honest, wonderfully useful. 🎉

The top 5 things you will learn by watching this stream:

1. How to nail the layer-based approach to off-camera flash. Neil walks through his full process step by step: setting ambient exposure first, locking in layer one, and then using flash purely to light the couple in a way that finally makes it click.
2. How to expose for highlights and avoid blowing them. Neil explains how he uses zebra lines and the histogram in-camera to nail his exposure every time, and why protecting your highlights is the single most important thing you can do.
3. How to live edit a flash portrait from start to finish. Neil edits multiple images in real time in Lightroom and Photoshop including masking, brushes, vignettes, and generative fill - showing exactly how little editing a well-shot image actually needs.
4. How to blend plate shots when your camera settings don't match. Neil reveals a brilliant and little-known Lightroom trick for matching exposures across two images when your shutter speed was slightly different between shots. A genuine time-saver.
5. How to use light fall-off to create dramatic, beautiful portraits. Neil explains why keeping your light source close to the couple creates that beautiful fade-to-dark effect and why it is one of the simplest and most effective lighting techniques you can use.
