The triggers are made specifically to work with particular brands. When you follow the link, check the specs to make sure your model is listed. The one big caveat is to double check in terms of the trigger, that your camera is compatible. To make it easy, I have created starter “packages” of all the exact gear you’d need for a complete set up based on the kind of camera you’re shooting, your budget and the work you’re doing. Myself and my support team are excited to help you learn this invaluable skill! What do I need? That’s why I created my Artificial Academy course, a comprehensive online class that teaches you everything you need to know to get started and avoid the headaches. There are also some technical hurdles that can cause frustration at the outset. Instead of the light continuously being on like natural light or a continuous lamp, the flash fires when you hit the shutter button on your camera to illuminate your scene. The one drawback to shooting flash is the learning curve. If you struggle with blurry or flat lighting in your shots and have been thinking you needed a new lens, hold off on the lens purchase and shoot with flash first.
This is because flash doesn’t rely on the shutter speed to freeze action. Many students also remark that their images are sharper and crispier once they start shooting with flash. Like this shot, captured despite being surrounded by those awful overhead tungsten restaurant lights. This is an absolute must if you’re going to shoot in restaurants. It gives you a ton of brightness and total control in any environment, because with flash, we can literally cancel out any ambient light and create lovely light anywhere. It’s my vote for the best bang for your buck. If you’re shooting still images, the best place to start is with a basic off camera flash. I can shoot any time, anywhere and get natural looking results like these:įrom “light and airy” to “dark and moody” I have full control over my lighting.Īny experienced professional photographer will tell you that even if you plan to be a natural light shooter, having the artificial lighting skills are indispensable.
After resisting artificial lighting for a long time, I finally gave in and my life was forever changed. I remember being pre-occupied about where the sun was in the sky, what the clouds were doing, and when the sun would set. I was tired of feeling rushed during my shoots.
