Understanding Off-Camera Flash

#tutorial #photography #flash

I recently explained the principles of using off-camera flash in my interiors video. It was a tutorial within a tutorial, and even though I shot some images in order to demonstrate what I was explaining, it wasn’t nearly as thorough as I wanted it to be.

So I’ve gone and shot some more, and I tried to be more scientific about it to help you visualize the differences in camera settings and power output and flash position, so you can see how this works.

I learned what I know through the photographer David Hobby from his website Strobist — I definitely recommend him if you want some further reading. Once this stuff clicked for me, it totally changed the way I look at photography. https://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/03...

For simplicity, we aren’t talking about how to compose a shot, or how to light a car, or how to use light modifiers, we’re just focusing on the camera and flash settings, and how they affect your image.
