Capturing nighttime cinematic headshots presents two main challenges, particularly when utilizing Speedlights. The first challenge is that the low ambient light at night causes your subject to stand out against a dark background. If that's the desired effect, feel free to proceed. However, cinematic headshots strive to produce a visually appealing blurry background. The second challenge is focusing because Speedlight lacks a modeling light to illuminate your subject in the dark, making autofocus difficult for the camera.
