Electronic Flash For Portraits?
-
HI,
I have started a correspondence course in photography last year and I dont know any other photographers in my area, so I joined this forum to hopefully find a few nice people to chat to and befriend…aaanyways. Seeing that I am trying to study photography on my own it sometimes is difficult to work on my assignments.
Can anyone tell me what the advantages/disadvantages are of using an electronic flash for portraits?
I am also asked to obtain 4 photos using light as an inspiration (using photolamp, anglepoise type lamp or by moving a standard lens). I am a bit embarresed, :oops: to what an anglepoise lamp is and I am not sure what they mean by using light as an inspiration…
Can anyone help?
Thanks :DNenagh

Munster is a big region – there’s bound to be someone close to you that’s on here too.
Maybe you might use this for inspiration, it worked for me when I first heard it and I still remind myself of it every so often. It might not make immediate sense to you, but it’s worth mulling over –
“Photograph the light!”
Oh, that reminds me of another phrase – “Look for the shadows”
An anglepoise lamp is nothing more than a tungsten bulb in a shade fixed to arms that allow you place it in a lot of different positions, often used as a desk lamp.
