Technique Page - Multiple Flash

How to do Multiple Flash...

1. This technique must be carried out in the studio, preferably on a black or dark background (the technique doesn't work as well on white or light backgrounds).  Format your camera and set the aperture.  Using the wheel on the back of the camera set the shutter speed to 'bulb'.

2.  Ensure your studio space is set up correctly - you need to work in darkness (no modelling or house lights on).  Use polystyrene boards to prevent or reduce light from the flash brightening the background.

3.  Taking the photo - turn all lights out.  You must ensure that you HOLD DOWN the shutter release while taking all the shots in your multiple flash image.  Get your models to move how you like after every time the flash button is pressed.  This technique works best with three flashes (otherwise the image is exposed to light too much and starts to burn out).
