What??? A FLASH??!!

{my dad. what a good sport!}
This is how we all usually react at the mention of the dreaded FLASH. shudder. During “normal” shoots, I use natural light ONLY. But since I have gotten into weddings, I realize that there are some situations where it simply has to be done, like indoor evening receptions. Soooo, I caved and started flashing. In camera flash, scary. External flash, better, but unpredictable and difficult. Enter Gary Fong. I could kiss him for inventing THIS.
The fabulous lightsphere is so easy to use and the results are so much better!! Less shadows, softer, warmer, more flattering light, and backgrounds are better lit. Not to mention, never needing to BOUNCE again??! Keep it the same at all kinds of angles ( like my dad, taken from the floor, pointed up toward the ceiling), or this little foot, which belongs to Max. Genius. Both of these images are STRAIGHT out of my camera. No p.s. at all. If you use a flash ever, yet cha self one of these.
