What is Flash Photography?
Flash is a device used in photography to help illuminate a scene by producing a flash of artificial light. Some purposes for flash are in dark areas to illuminate the light, capturing quick movement, or to change the light settings. The exact definition of flash photography is the taking of photographs with light bursts. Direct flash will give a lot of harsh shadows that are reflections of flashlight on surfaces behind the subject and a “cool” look to the picture. It’s better to use a simple bouncing flash where the shadows aren’t harsh and it gives the photo a more pleasing and natural look. Flash is known as a very difficult technique to use. Electronic flash, used for natural looking photos is way harder to use then automatic flash. In professional studio equipment, flashes may be large, standalone units, or studio strobes, powered by special battery packs or connected to mains power. You could compare flash to many things but really it’s just lot of light used towards one area that you can control. Flash is a used a lot not and takes practice and time to do but when you have a finished product you will see why it was worth it you pictures have a better and softer glow to them.
