Fill Flash

I absolutely loved practicing using the strobe flash to create a much more appealing light source for my portraits. I have always wanted to learn how to use it, considering the on camera flash option is completely hideous.
The bounce flash was my favorite method to use, because it creates a much softer light on the subjects face. It was also cool to see the dark shadows disappear, revealing a beautiful lit portrait.
My least favorite method to shoot was fill flash. I was trying my best not to capture the typical sunset-in-the-background portrait, which resulted in me thinking too hard about the concept. I do feel I finally got the hang of it after practicing a few times.
Just your typical 27 year old from Traverse City, Mi.
I have my associates in Liberal Arts and Science from Northwestern Michigan College and received my bachelors in Photojournalism at Central Michigan College.
As you may tell, photography is my lifelong passion. Ever since I was a child, there was a camera in my hand. My favorite moments to capture are lives breath taking moments from environmental shots to senior photos.
