There are many reasons why flash is the perfect light source for studio portrait photography. It’s super bright, it’s very versatile and if used correctly it can actually make your photos sharper thanks to its ability to freeze camera shake and model movement. But if the results are not perfect the very first time you use flash, it can be a frustrating experience.

That’s where photographer Gavin Hoey is here to help. In this video tutorial, he guides you through your first steps into the wonderful world of studio flash photography. As Gavin explains, the first and most important step to get right is your camera settings. Once those are dialed in, you won’t have to change them again during the whole session.

Next, Gavin moves on to get the power right on a manual flash. He shows you what things will alter the exposure and a really simple lighting trick that allows him to change the flash position but keep the same flash settings.

Gavin puts everything into practice by taking head and shoulder portraits and some full-length photos in his small home studio. He uses a single Flashpoint EVOLV200 throughout, although the techniques and tips would work in exactly the same way for photographers using anything from a manual Speedlight to a large, mains-powered studio strobe.
