Step 4: Brian loves to aim his flash head off to the side with a slight tilt. He’s aiming that “super ball” where the wall meets the ceiling. Does that make sense? It brings back a nice side lighting that can look similar to lamp light or window light. Ohhhh, that is way better!

Point it straight back when shooting a wedding. Where does the light bounce off? The back of the church?

Hi Michael!
Yes, great question! You’d be surprised at how far light travels. As long as there isn’t a window behind you, the light will bounce off the nearest wall behind you and come back to “naturally” light your subjects. If you were at the front of the ceremony area for church photos, I would point the flash head behind you but angled up. This way your flash isn’t disruptive to the audience. Not that you were going to do that, but just a little tip if that helps.

Me Ra –
I’m coming to be with you this weekend in Plano. So excited!
I wasn’t going to bring my flash because I know we will focus on natural light photography. However, my business is 50/50 portraits/events (bar/bat mitzvahs).
If I bring my flash, do you think we can sneak in a little chat about this?
See you soon! Jess
