Beautiful natural light isn’t always available, but the good news is that you can create it, simply and quickly, using only one light. In this shooting demonstration with Michelle Turner, take the fear out of using your flash both on and off camera. Learn about different types of light and how they are created, as well as simple posing and lighting techniques to make anyone look great. You will also learn how to use your flash to simulate window light! Whether you are shooting with a speedlight or a more powerful flash, you will discover how to create beautiful light anytime, anywhere. Michelle will demonstrate the techniques with the super compact and portable FUJIFILM EF-X500 speedlight on camera and then she will move to an off camera setup, giving you a chance to compare the two techniques.
