How to Use a Speedlight for Portraits

There are a lot of great benefits to using a speedlight  on camera. It’s a quick and easy way to add light to your scene. Using a speedlight on camera is ideal for situations where you are constantly on the move. With it being fixed to your camera, you don’t have to deal with moving light stands around and you can get consistent results. When you have a flash directed straight in front of your camera, it often produces unflattering hard light, which isn’t always ideal when shooting portraits.

In this video, Ashely Boring shows you how to get better results using both on-camera flash and off camera flash to get the most out of your FJ80 II Speedlight.
