USING THE OFF

CAMERA FLASH

Use Flash and Bounce to Diffuse

When using the off camera flash, be sure to bounce the light

off walls so that it’s softened.

If we point the camera flash directly into a space, we get a

dreaded bright area in the centre. And then a quick drop to

shadow around it.

Turn the flash so that it bounces off a wall behind you, the

ceiling right above you, or even one of the side walls. This way

you’re allowing that light to diffuse into the space and give a

more even look.
