Are you at the mercy of the light that's available? Do your on-camera flash photos look flat and predictable? With a little knowledge, practice and equipment, you can take control of light. This course covers portable flash on-camera and off, specifically: how to combine flash with available light (including flash-fill to reduce high contrast); how to create natural looking and varied event/party photos, when to use umbrellas and other tools. Also discussed are the use of reflectors to modify light, using ambient light as "fill" in flash photos; using two flash; using flash at night; creating hair and edge lights. You will learn to visualize a result that is different from what you see in front of you . . . and then add (or subtract) light to achieve that result.
