It's difficult to tell because the model is beautiful in bad lighting as well.

Loved filming this tutorial! Hope it helps those of you struggling with understanding bounce flash!

One of my favorite photos I've ever taken was with me holding a reflector just like that.

She looks like Angelina jolie and natalie dormer's love child

I never thought of using a reflector like that. Thank you for showing that.
