Flash, strobes, softbox, gels, beauty dish, strip light, reflectors and loads of other words are flying around when we talk light. This week I have dedicated flick of inspiration to getting back to basics. We all need to remember that natural light is amazing. I hope some of these images shows you that you don’t need all the fansy pansy flash stuff 🙂

Flick
Hi Theis,
Thanks for including one of my images in your Flick of Inspiration.
I agree that natural/ambient light can create beautiful images and you don’t necessarily have to buy those expensive strobes to make beautiful images. But there are limitations to doing natural light photography and sometimes you just need technology to give you that extra help. That’s why I’m trying to learn how to use strobes, not to replace but to compliment my style of photography.
I hope to produce stunning images such as yours someday.
