That's right friends: "Take the darn flash off the camera!"
On the left you see the results of taking a flash out of the hot shoe and placing it in a soft box.
The picture on the right is a behind-the-scenes shot, showing part of the soft box on the left side of the frame.
My #2 Tip: Place the flash in a soft box, that's right to soften the light.
My #3 Tip: Remember: the larger the light source, the softer the light; the closer the light source, the softer the light.
My #4 Tip: Keep in mind that "light illuminates, shadows define."
My #5 Tip: Remember: Shadows can be your friend.

I teach this kinda stuff on my workshops and sometimes at my seminars (depending on the type of seminar). I hope you can join the flash photo fun!
