Macro lighting: A flash can TRANSFORM your images

In this quick video, I show a short example on how using flash lighting when working out and about can have a huge impact in your macro photography. I show the lighting, the settings and the post production I use to create a handful of pretty pics.

I love using my diffuser when out and about taking shots of flowers, plants and a few little critters. Thank you for your video on this subject!

Adding a diffused flash has completely transformed my macro photography.
Well demonstrated here.

Brilliant as ever. Can you provide a link to where you show how to setup and use the off camera flash please?

superb video and beautiful shots. Can You please tell what flash do you use?

[jeffdavis]

First thank you for sharing. Second you have inspired me to start using my flash more in my macro shots. Love both shots but really like the feather.

Amazing video, love it. Just discovering this channel, and I am pleased I have! 
What flash do you use by the way?
Keep it up! 👍

Hi Andrew, I am enjoying your macro photography in particular where you use your flash. Can I ask what settings you use get the black background, I’d like to try it out.

Point convincingly made. Feather w/dark background could easily be mistaken for a shot taken in a studio against a black background, IMO. Shutter speeds increased using flash, but speeds still not faster than sync speed, correct? Hope you had that nice hot cup of tea after this shoot. Cheers!
