Description

Bounce flash is great, but after a while it all looks the same, flat and dull. In "What the Flash?" Bob Davis shows you how to get amazing results in almost any situation using off-camera speedlites. He demonstrates lighting portraits, corporate headshots, engagement photos, fashion and glamour photos, and even takes you behind the scenes for an entire wedding shoot, using versatile lighting throughout.

Bob makes it look easy - you can tell he's a master. Very inspirational and insightful. He encouraged me to dust off my speed lights and create more powerful images.
