Working with Flash - Lab 3

In this photography lab we had to work with different types of external flashes. External flashes can be very intense and it has different types of settings which can minimize the intensity of it. On this photo you can't even tell that I took it with a flash. I looks like i'm in a fairly lit room with white lights. Here you can see the difference between external flashes and internal flashes built in the camera. I had a lot of fun playing around with flash photography.

Here we see an external flash that isn't on the camera, but beside the subject. It is connected to the camera which creates really cool dark and shadowy effects on the subject. The room we were working in was completely dark with just the flash clicking on and off when it was other peoples turns. This type of photography is really interesting and I am looking forward to experimenting with it in the future.

You can see the difference with the light hitting the subject with the reflector unlike the previous one I posted where the diffuser was hitting her. I have never worked with the diffuser before and It was really interesting to see that such a small piece of equipment can do so much :)

I really liked this picture, it looks like an album cover or something. In this part we were working with different angles where the light hits the model. We didn't use the diffuser until we went outside. I took a picture in the same spot while she turned in different directions.

Our model for today Lauren really enjoyed the massive amounts of wind. We had a very hard time trying to stabalize the diffuser that we were working with. This picture turned out okay, the sun was going down which was a shame so we had to hurry up.

I can't believe I got the chance to take a photo of a famous Youtuber AND Tiktoker as of recently. I was playing around with the settings of the camera and I managed to get this shot. I like how the flash focuses on him while you can still see the background.

He's trying to smile but deep down he's thinking about Lil Peep. RIP. I liked how the flash didn't make his face too bright, it just looks like we're in regular lighting in a closed off room.

Our model for today caught off guard, he went blind after this. I like the effect this photo has, It's not too bright nor too dark. I was getting the hang of things after this photo. Flash photography seems difficult but after messing around with the settings you get pretty good photos captured.
