Sharing the Secret Technique Behind Proper Outdoor Flash Photography

[@chasingwind114]

This and your recent video at the beach are the missing link for me with flash photography. I like natural light, however in backlit or low light scenes like this and the beach, the subjects can be dull and shapeless, and massive shadow recovery, and end up looking unnatural. The other option is to blast a 'perfect studio magazine cover style' flash and destroy the natural feeling. Your approach is flawless, and I am so excited to go and re-explore my favourite locations but with the dream light that I imagine in my mind. Thank you for sharing this with us all.

I think inverse square is more about fall off than dispersion.

[@alanberry4919]

The fall off is connected to its dispersion. If you have a light at a certain power for 50mm zoom then zoom the same amount to 200mm. It would produce more light with a narrower beam.

[@isoawe1888]

@@alanberry4919 I agree. But the law is about loss of intensity as distance increases.

[@alanberry4919]

@@isoawe1888 the reason it loses intensity is because of the spread of light. If you refocus the beam, the intensity would remain.

Thank you for your detailed video. The way you show steps by steps how to adjust your shutter speed and ISO makes the tip very easy to understand.

The proper use of flash is the professional secret of photography. The day will come when your smartphone will be able to do off the phone flash photography.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

I wouldn’t mind thay

[@49ers49ers]

Poor video NO info on what flash was used? Power? Diffuser? Location of flash?

[@bamcameback]

lol he explained the technique to take the photo. You should be able to figure it out based on your own scene. Pretty sure there was just a beauty dish on the flash.

[@49ers49ers]

@@bamcameback it easily could’ve been explained in the video
