When it comes to taking family portraits, there are many ways to go about it. Some photographers prefer to use natural light while I prefer to use artificial lighting. There are also various types of cameras available, from DSLRs to compact digital cameras. As a portrait photographer the best thing to remember is that you should be comfortable with whatever camera you choose.

In this article we will discuss how to take pictures in low-light situations using flash photography. We’ll talk about what type of flash units work well for portraiture and how to set up your studio lights so they can be used as fill or key light sources.

What Is Flash Photography?

Flash photography is when an external flash unit is used to illuminate the subject. This is done by bouncing the light off the ceiling or walls of the room where the photo shoot is being held. The most common way to do this is to have a reflector placed on the ceiling above the subject. A second option is to place a softbox (a box with a diffuser) over the subject. Both methods allow more even illumination than if no bounce was used.

When using flash photography, it is important to know which direction the light source is coming from. If the light source is coming directly at the subject, then the shadows will appear very dark. However, if the light source is coming at an angle, the shadows will appear much lighter. For example, if the light source were coming straight down on the subject, the shadow would be cast on the floor. On the other hand, if the light source came from the side, the shadow would be on the wall.

The best way to determine where the light source is coming is to look at the background. If there is a bright area behind the subject, then the light source is coming straight at them. If there is a darker area behind the subject, the light source is coming off to one side.

When shooting portraits outdoors, it is important to consider the weather conditions. If it is raining, snowing, or windy, then the lighting setup needs to be adjusted accordingly.

The best time to shoot outside is early morning or late afternoon. These times offer the most natural light and allow for the least amount of shadows. Also, if there is a lot of direct sunlight, use reflectors to bounce the light back into the subject's face.
