Eighteen ways to make the only light you control work harder for your image. Everything else in a photograph is given to you. The flash is yours.
Flash is the last thing most photographers try, and the first thing that can set their work apart. Its bad reputation comes from cameras automatically firing at subjects forty feet away in the dark.
Daylight fill. Backlit and lifted. Dragging the shutter so the subject freezes and the world smears. Bouncing off a white van. Holding it out at arm's length so the shadow moves. A candy wrapper taped over the head for color. Flash in rain, snow, and fog, where everything in the air turns into light.
Works with any flash, including the one built into your camera or phone. Nothing to buy except a roll of tape.
Eight pages, letter size, built to print, illustrated throughout. Instant download. File 012 of the Bureau Files.
