Off Camera Flash Photography Tutorial // Direction of Light in Portraits for Beginners

This off camera flash photography tutorial for beginners shows how the direction of flash with a light modifier influences where shadows appear for portraits. This is essential for beginner strobists to understand ocf as it dictates how your subject looks, but also the overall mood and feeling of your image. You can use direction to diminish a subject's features, or enhance them. In the next video we pair direction of light with quality of light which is how you take full control of shaping light.

Flash Photography Tutorial
This series of videos is designed to help off-camera flash beginners quickly advance to lighting with purpose. First, this series assumes you have an understanding of the exposure triangle, and are capable of controlling your camera in Manual mode. While it's possible to use flash with semi-automatic modes, I think it's a requirement to understand lighting in manual mode if you want to take control of all aspects of your images. This series is broken down into short, easy-to-digest lessons that progress you from balancing a single light, to using multiple lights outdoors to drive home the story in your image.
