The second Nottingham Outlaws Portrait evening of the year was a great chance to learn a bit more about using off camera flash. Specifically balancing the ambient light with flash to make portraits really “pop”.

Many thanks to Steve and model Katherine for their advice and inspiration ( and patience! )

Some of the results of the night can be seen below.
