When it comes to shooting portraits on location I know many photographers who love to make best use of the ambient light. I also know lots of photographers who wouldn\u2019t dream of shooting on location without flash. Although I prefer flash, I\u2019m very happy to work with ambient light if it does what I need. If you\u2019re undecided about moving to flash or perfecting your ambient shooting techniques then this video should answer a few questions.<\/p>\n

I must thank the Gatwick Aviation Museum for the use of their location and the loan of the pilots outfit. Part of the reason for the look and location in these shots was to test out the venue and one of the outfits for my big Aviation Apocalypse workshop<\/strong><\/a>. Judging by what we learned on this shoot, the workshops are shaping up to be very exciting!<\/p>\n
