In this video, I bring my beautiful niece to the session and we show why I choose to use off camera flash (OCF) for my portrait work. When I was really coming into my own with my photography, I wanted my work to be distinct. I chose to use OCF to help define the look in my portraits. I use it in most all of my work, including my dance work. It allows my photos to look consistent in color and style across the board.
By using OCF, I can control the light and shadows rather than just taking what I'm given with the natural light. I could possible use a reflector in my work, but you get more consistent control using a light source like a strobe.
