Tip: Add some lights to your photo

This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

We all know that we need to light our models or subjects, right? But sometimes it is also incredibly cool to include a light source in the shot itself.

Take the image above, for example. Now, you need to remember that the flashes are quite powerful, so you need a light that actually gives off a lot of light. In this case, we used a Lumecube that gives off a huge amount of light.

Always remember that the aperture is the setting for the flash. And that the shutter speed actually controls the ambient light in relation to the flash. The slower the shutter speed, the more natural light you get.

So in a case like this, where you include a Lumecube in your shot, set the flashes as low as possible, use diffusers, use the edges of your light, whatever it takes as long as the flash power is reduced. Now use the shutter speed to make the LumeCube brighter.

If you have taken some photos with a LumeCube, or something similar, feel free to show them to me. I love seeing your work!
