In-Home Photos with Flash : One Light Many Looks (Part 8)
It is not only possible, but actually so much easier to take in-home photos with flash! Why? Because you can create the type of light you want and you will be consistent. You won’t have to squish the family up next to a window, or reschedule if it’s too dark. In fact, in this example below I used mostly film but did shoot with digital a bit. Why would I use flash with digital? Well because I wanted a consistent look. I wanted a lower ISO. I didn’t want any weird color casting from the lighting and colors in different rooms.
In this session I used 1-2 flash units in various locations in each room we shot this family session in. And remember the cool thing is, because the flash units aren’t on my camera, I can move around and get a bunch of different compositions without having to adjust my settings! Win-Win!
If you’d like to learn more about how to use flash inside, feel free to poke around in my website. You can find past One Light Many Looks posts, and much more!
