Do you NEED a flash for your photography?

I’ve done a lot of videos on flash photography and you still may have the question; do you NEED a flash for your photography? In this video I will explore the pros and cons of flash, when you would benefit from it and when you don’t need it. I’ll also talk about some alternatives to using flash.

The pros and cons of using flash seems to be an issue for a lot of photographers. Hope this helps.

I love your honest approach to explaining how/why you use flash. I would be very interested in a video on your ideas for Portrait Lighting. Again, great video and thank you!

[@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk]

Thank you so much!

[@larryb0315]

Great and timely video, Hayward! You bring up some great points. I would love a video on light ratios, how to meter them and strobe placement for indoor and outdoor portraits! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Just picked up a Godox V1 speed light and a wireless trigger for street portraits while traveling in Vietnam.

[@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk]

You should have fun with that. It’s a pretty good system. Thanks for watching!

How well do you like the AC only Flashpoint strobes? I'm interested in a non-battery powered strobe. Which Flashpoint model do you use? Thanks for the video!

[@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk]

For the strobes I buy in studio. I have no use for the battery models. The one I showed at the intro of this video I just got. It was the studio Pro 600, which is pretty much the same flash as the Godox of the same number I believe. Can’t say a lot about it yet because I’ve just gotten it, but in a couple of sessions, I’ve used it for it’s awesome because it’s got the built-in trigger which is really why I got it and it’s got a 30 W LED cob light for the modeling light

[@johnvillalovos]

@@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk thanks! I have some battery powered units but for indoor I just wanted AC and not worry about charging batteries.

[@johnvillalovos]

Oh and they cost a lot less than the battery models it looks like 👍

[@cameraprepper7938]

No, I do not like flash.
