Add POP to Your Pictures Through The Magic of Fill Flash
Fill Flash is one of those counter-intuitive concepts in photography. Logic tells us a flash is unnecessary when taking photographs in the day light.
But in this case, logic would be wrong. Take a look at these two photographs, one taken with fill flash, and one without.
As photographs go, the one without fill flash is pretty good. Great pose, photogenic subjects, nice composition, and excellent background.
In fact, if you had never heard of fill flash, most photographers would be quite satisfied to have taken the shot. But… let’s see how the same photograph would look if a flash had been used.
The second photo uses the identical pose, subjects, background, and composition. The reason why fill flash makes your picture “pop,” is it fills in the shadows by illuminating any darkness under the eyes or face.
Just remember to keep the subjects within the range of your flash.
