To USE or NOT to use the flash on your camera...
I use mine only as a trigger to activate an external flash. Jul 10 06 09:28 pm Link CoCo, This all seems very simple to me. 1. If you see a noticable flash, and you don't like it, don't work with that person. 2. If your makeup doesn't match your skin under flash, consider hiring a MUA. 3. If the images you get from your photographer look "too washed out" and that's "not the look you were going for," then you are a client and art director with a specific image that you want, which means you should be paying a photographer who is able to deliver that image.

I am a natural man. 98% of the time if I am using a flash on the camera, I am either bouncing it or using the Lightsphere II on it.

Also you want flat foundations and non-shiny make up to avoid reflections and blown highlights as dslr's are more sensitive. Jul 10 06 10:22 pm Link You mentioned you were talking about the built in pop-up flash on the camera. Those are the worst light sources available. I'd only use it in an extreme pinch when I just needed a snapshot to document something, never for a creative shot. But, I almost always use a speedlight flash on an off shoe bracket. Just about every shot in my port uses a fill flash unit, as did this one.  Jul 11 06 04:20 pm Link |
