Unveiling My Secrets: Balancing Harsh Backlight and Flash Run Time: 18 min

Step into my world where I try my best to sidestep the ordinary, where combining harsh backlight and carefully controlled flash creates pure magic. While many photographers stick to the tried-and-true clichés, I will always try and bring forth a new perspective. The goal is to take what has been done countless times, but make the look very much my own. I want to share this with all of you!

In this tutorial, I invite you to join me as I break down how I captured this shot. We will begin the tutorial with behind the scenes video that shows you the exact set up and the quality of light I was working with. We touch on the following key takeaways:

1. The Art of Location: Unveiling the Hidden Gems and the secrets of finding those elusive pockets of light. I will guide you through my thought process, sharing the criteria I use to select locations that have always been specific to my style.
2. Taming Light: This is the seamless integration of flash and the sun. I will show you exactly what I am looking for to achieve the balance, and to give my model that extra “glow”.
3. The Final Flourish: I will show you my editing technique with this image. I will go over my simple yet powerful editing techniques.

This image was captured in vibrant city of Louisville, KY, where I ventured beyond my usual Chicago city limits. This image shows that my signature style can be created anywhere, and with this tutorial, you too can incorporate this into your locations.

If you’re new to flash and it scares you, consider purchasing my tutorial Combining Natural Light and Flash in addition to this one!
