About overhead flash and studio lighting

The light on the top of the machine is generally only about GN index 12- 16, which can barely be used, but the light is small, the brightness is not enough, the light is not easy to use, and it is difficult to take portraits. Therefore, we configure an external flash, which is generally small GN36, and the maximum GN can reach 58. Generally, it is enough to take a portrait. Note, however, that the brightness here and the brightness of the shadow lamp are not the same concept. Not equal.

But there is a problem here. It is not enough to shoot people. Photography is the art of playing with light. One lamp can't change light and shadow, and it often takes about three lamps. Obviously, it is impossible to spend money on three flashlights that can be wirelessly connected, and it is not suitable for using flashlights in the studio, because flashlights are instantaneous and cannot be observed normally, and the light is difficult to control, while shadow lights are balanced and can be distributed with ease.

If you want to take a portrait, it depends on whether you take it indoors or outdoors. If shooting outdoors, amateur players can match the best flash of their own system, about 3000 yuan. It is not recommended that you use group lights, for one thing, there are not enough people, and for another, the available range is small and uneconomical.
