Photography Lighting - The 2 Types Of Flashes
Although flashes are just one type of photography light, they are also one of the most common. Nearly all modern cameras have a flash built right into the body, and most professional photographers use flash at some point in their careers, if not every day. However, flashes are as varied in their construction, functionality, and accessories, as cameras. Here is how you can get the most out of using your flash.
Studio Flash
These are the types of flashes that you see used on fashion shoots. They're held in place by light stands and need an external power source but are more powerful than in-camera flashes. Studio flashes are super useful photography lights. They can be easily moved around and have their output and duration adjusted so you have complete lighting control over your final image.
The first thing you should do is make sure that your flash is firing into your light umbrella or some other type of diffuser. A direct flash will usually overpower your subject so it's better to use a couple of reflectors and umbrellas to bounce light off your subject. Studio flashes usually have a "modeling" light that will allow you to see the end result of your setup, so you should be able to plot this bouncing fairly well.
And, if you can, keep your subject away from the backdrop so you'll avoid sharp shadows in your image. You have probably seen pictures where you see a "person shaped" shadow on the wall because the picture was taken with the flash directly center. Lastly, you should use more than one light source. When you have more photography lights, the more flexible your light becomes and the better quality of a picture you'll get.
The Camera Flash
Many cameras are built right into the camera and work on an automated basis. While this is great for cost and convenience, an automatic flash is often a main contributor to terrible phtoographs. However, there will be times when the lighting is poor, and you simply can't use studio lights (for example at weddings).
Just like using a studio flash, you'll want to bounce your flash if at all possible so that it's less harsh. Though this may sound weird, think of the many things around you that can work as impromptu light reflectors – tablecloths, walls, ceilings, and menus will all work nicely. Additionally, never rely on flash as the only light source. The best time to use a flash is to use it to fill in the dark spots and augment the current light that you have. Finally, remember that flashes have an effective range – if your subject is too far away the photo will be underexposed.
Flash photography is a complex subject and requires many years of practice to completely master. If you're looking to take your photography to the next level, you should consider adding some photography lights to your "photo toolbox." With the right setup and knowledge, every photograph can be a masterpiece.
