This is how it works for me, using a Sony A7III. Any mirrorless camera with a similar Live View Display and Auto ISO will work as well. I also use a Godox Speedlight on a 26" Westcott Rapid Octa softbox, firing it with a remote controller. As for lenses, I use a Sony 85F1.8 for half-body and a Sigma 50F1.4 for wider coverage.
Depending on how much ambient light you prefer, set your desired aperture (f1.8-2.8 for shallow depth of field), shutter speed (1/125 to minimize subject blur). Lockdown the ISO indicated as per aperture/shutter speed combination.
Turn on the Godox to Manual and start with 1/128 power. Adjust power accordingly based on subject-to-speedlight and degree of lighting preferred.
And that's it! Now you can concentrate on getting the best expressions from your subject.
