Whenever your camera's white balance is higher than 6000K (or 6500K) or lower than 4200K, you have to use a CTB or CTO gel to correct the skin tone of the subject.
Points to note:
1) This is the second part of my photoshoot with Brianna. You can watch the first part here:

2) In this video I would be shooting sunset portraiture with two different white balances, 9500K and 3800K.
2a) Scenario 1: 9500K
Setting higher Kelvin Temperature in the camera will add more warm to the image, and I like to do so during the sunset. A CTB (Color Temperature Blue) gel is popped in front of the flash to correct Brianna's skin tone. You'll also see what would happen if no gel was added.
2b) Scenario 2: 3800K
Setting lower Kelvin Temperature in the camera will get you a bluer image, and thus the sky will have a cooler tone during sunset. In order to color-correct her skin tone, I've added a CTO gel. You'll also see a photo without the CTO gel.
3) Things that I haven't talked about in this video but you'll learn in the below, detailed tutorial:
3a) Detailed explanation on CTB & CTO gels and in what scenarios you must use them.
3b) The 5 Factors that affect the flash (subject) exposure.
3c) What camera settings that you should change exactly at sunset time?
4) The full tutorial ($5 or buy me a cup of coffee ^^):
