Bouncing Your Flash

Tip: Bouncing your ash off of colored surfaces can create a color cast in your images. Bouncing off of a white

or neutral-colored surface will not alter the color of the light, while bouncing off of a gold-toned surface can

give portraits a warmer look. Other colors, while usually not desirable, can be used for creative effects.

Creating catchlights: Catchlights are the reections that appear in people’s eyes in photographs. Without

catchlights, eyes can have a dull, lifeless look. To create catchlights in your subjects’ eyes when bouncing your

ash, follow these steps:

1. Position the ash head at the 90° angle (pointing straight up) to bounce your ash off the ceiling or an

overhead reector.

2. Pull the built-in reector and diffuser panels all the way out of their slot in the ash head. Push the

diffuser back in while leaving the reector extended.
