Why I use off camera flash.

I like to use off camera lights so that I can show the beautiful locations and the clients or models. Yes you can get beautiful pictures with just natural light, however you can not always control when and where a client wants a picture. Off camera lighting gives you the freedom to control the light so you can get everything in the picture. I love the eyes, so it is important to get some light to them. I love the backgrounds, and the clouds here make a great dramatic background against the hills and in contrast to the model. During weddings you can shoot natural light outdoors, but it's harder when it is indoors and you have low light. Having off camera lighting enables you to capture every moment beautifully.

Lighting Equipment Test Photography Shoot

Lighting equipment test photography shoot

With model Jaymie Dauterman

From April 12th 2014

This was an extremely windy day for a photography shoot, it gave the lighting equipment a run for the money. At one point had bungee cords around a tree to hold the flash with the soft-box. Don't worry, no equipment was damaged in this test.
