One of the most versatile techniques any photographer can learn is how to bounce light. This great video will show you an application of bounce flash to create indoor portraits with a more natural look than might be achieved otherwise.
Coming to you from Daniel Norton with Adorama TV, this excellent video will show you how to use bounce flash to create a natural-looking indoor portrait. Learning how to properly bounce flash is useful not just for portrait photographers, but also for wedding and event photographers, who need to be able to work quickly and do not have the luxury of setting up lights as if they are working in a studio. In this case, however, Norton chooses to use bounce flash to light an indoor portrait in a New York City apartment. He uses flash because of the relatively low levels of light in the apartment, but he wants to maintain a natural look to the final image, thus he bounces the light to mimic the way natural light would fill the room and light the subject. It is a great lesson in lighting for the environment that will help you build your skills; check out the video above for the full rundown.
nice ideas here, thanks for sharing
Nice information an the topic, but wish the photos had some fill light under her chin. Dark shadow around the neck area. Otherwise, great images and information.
