Flash photography is still a mystery to some photographers. It can be tricky but the advancements in technology, both on the camera and on the flash hardware side, made it easier and more affordable to get into flash photography. Marco invited portrait and beauty photographer Damien Lovegrove to discuss the different systems that are on the market, what they are best used for, and what mistakes to avoid.
