You must know flash photography.

Lead: Flash sometimes not only fills the light, sometimes we can use it to increase the fun of shooting and help us shoot more creative and interesting movies. Learn from me!

You know, flash photography uses blind shot to calender. At this time, you can use a wireless flasher or an extension cord to flash.

When shooting indoors, it is suitable to use the Loko mirror, because it will flash and reflect the light of the eyes.

The flashlight in the station can only use the reflector and diffuser of the lamp holder, or use the Loko reflector. But pay special attention to the direction of the flash.

The combination of reflector and flash can make the light softer. Of course, this scene can also use a reflective umbrella (because it will not be affected by the wind).

Examples of using lamp holders and wireless flashers. If you hit directly with a flash, pay special attention to the distance and angle of the flash. The farther away the flash is, the softer the light will be. In this case, you can also switch to the flash or add a soft light box.

An example of changing the color temperature of a flash by adding a color temperature soft light box at dusk. By correcting the color temperature, the sky can look bluer and more special. Light can be reflected and diffused again if necessary.

Use reflective umbrellas indoors to create soft light. Please note that outside the pane, we will also install a flash to create light and shadow.

Outside the glass, a second flash is used to create stronger light.

In this photo, the front of the model has soft light from the room, and the scene is represented by hard light.

An example of lighting with a reflector. Don't forget, the backlight can also be simulated with a flash. In application, this scene can be used as a reference when the flash and reflector are used together.

Off-board fill lights use flash extension lines. For the sake of mobility, it is often seen that photographers will hold a camera in one hand and a flash in the other.

Use flash extension cord and monopod as exterior fill light. Monopod makes the angle of fill light more flexible.

Switch to wireless mode to control the fill light. We can hold it with one hand, or we can use the lamp holder to adjust the position of the flash as in the previous example. When using the lamp holder, it will be more flexible than holding the lamp with one hand.

This is an interesting application example. When outdoor lighting is supplemented, the monopod is stretched and fixed against the trunk. The model is in the backlight, so you need to fill the face with the light from the flash.

For example, indoors, both strong light (lighting from the outside) and soft light (reflecting umbrella) are used in the shooting process. Indoor, reflective umbrella is a good soft light accessory for flash lamp.
