Episode description
If you've ever felt intimidated by (or even mistrustful of) using flash during a portrait session, then this episode is for you.
My guest this week is Kim Hildebrand, a family photographer from Seattle who swears by using flash in her in-home shoots. We dive into the differences between flash and strobes, how to get started with flash on a budget, and how to make your flash photos look natural instead of overly-lit or "flashy". Kim shares great tips on gear, positioning, and practice. If you're interested in weather- and bad light-proofing your portrait offerings, this episode will give you the confidence to get started!
