New Meaning of "Take the Darn Flash Off The Camera"

Photograph © Rick Sammon
Those of you who have attended my workshops and seminars know my favorite flash tip: "Take the darn flash off the camera!"

Model on black background being illuminated by a soft box held by voice activated light stands.
These shots illustrate why that's good advice: way more creative lighting.

Also, light stands are a good idea, but if you don't have one, use voice activated light stands. :-)

I hope to see you on one of my workshops and/or at my seminars. Click the taps on the top of this page.

Explore the light,
Rick
