In the world of photography, light is everything. Too much light, or too little, and you have no image. As for the abundant light source in the sky, weather can be unpredictable, and when you’re shooting indoors, sunlight may not be an option.
That’s why adding a camera flash to your photography toolkit can drastically level up your images and allow you to shoot in a wider variety of locations than just outdoors. But finding the right flash can be tricky. Since each camera brand uses a proprietary communication protocol between the camera and the flash, and so many flash units are available, we can’t really recommend one best flash unit for everyone. But we can advise you on what to look for.
To figure out the most important features your flash should have, I spoke to Alex Yuan, a studio-lighting instructor in the MFA Photography, Video and Related Media program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and I drew on my own experience as a photographer.
