Ways To Instantly Improve Your
Flash Photography
2
As you study more about photography, you may find
yourself using your inbuilt flash less and less
to avoid unwanted side effects such as red-eye,
overexposed rabbit in the headlights photographs
and usually harsh and unflattering light.
3
If you are shooting with a small camera or the
inbuilt flash on your DSLR, the affordable and
fastest way to increase your flash photography is
by making modifications to the flash compensation.
4
The result known as red-eye is caused by light
bouncing off the retina. An easy way to minimise
this is by directing your subject to look
slightly to the side of the camera to avoid this
reflection.
5
To effectively reduce red-eye and produce far
more flattering light on your subject, it is
worth spending in an off-camera flash unit.
6
The basic rule of light is that the larger the
light source, the softer the light will be. You
don't need an expert lighting kit to increase the
size of your light source.
7
Another thing to examine is the direction of the
light. Lighting subjects from the front can look
strange because we rarely see things this way in
real life. As discussed earlier, bouncing light
off a nearby ceiling or wall will make your
photos look more natural.
