When I first became interested in experimenting with off-camera flash, I was completely overwhelmed by the amount of information I found online and didn’t even know where to begin! While off-camera flash techniques are many and varied, I thought I would share the way in which I put together my first studio lighting setup, in the hopes that it will help some of you figure out how to go about creating your own setup.
Like I said, there are plenty of options out there, but this is a good solution if you already have a flash for your camera. Not the pop-up flash, but the separate flash that you mount on your camera’s hot shoe. This is not a tutorial on lighting so much as some tips that will help you acquire the items needed to fire your flash off-camera.
