Background Effects Using Flash

In this FotoTV film photographer Dirk Wächter of D-Forum community is here for a third installment to create another exciting special effects photography tutorial dealing with specifically backgrounds.

Today Wächter discusses how to set-up backgrounds using electronic flashlight. In two previous segments we learned how to create colorful background effectively and how to make backgrounds out of focus using movement. This time Wächter wants to top his previous installments by showing viewers how to make the backgrounds out of focus using a lot of light and how to prepare for such situations and how to make great business portraits.

This tutorial is good for photographers who have to travel to a client to make business portraits or for photographers are unsure of what awaits them at the location. Wächter methodically goes through all the tech specs he uses to show the users how to get a great useable shot in any kind of condition and any kind of background.
