How to Effectively Bounce Flash at an Event with Vanessa Joy
https://www.behindtheshutter.com/how-...
When I first started out in wedding photography, I was not very keen on using off-camera flash during a reception. In fact, I was crazy against it. I hated the way it looked and didn't like how it weighed me down gear-wise. Even with experience under my belt, I still prefer not to use it. The reason is simple: as a wedding photographer, you need to be mobile. A client may call me into different rooms or they may ask me to shoot something outside. Moving to these new locations means moving my light with me or grabbing a different flash to use on-camera. Although it may seem like a small thing, this can greatly limit your mobility and freedom as a photographer to quickly go where the shots are.
Because of this, I began bouncing my flash when shooting receptions and have found that the technique works brilliantly if you know how to do it correctly. Today, I am going to share with you some of my tips, so that you too can begin to use bounced flash as your lighting solution.
