Flash Photography

Even though I think many of you already know what Flash Photography is, I'll try to explain it in the most simple way possible to the ones that don't know how it's done or what it is:
It's basically when you photograph an object (often marco) and use flash in combination with a fast Shutter Speed, low ISO and a low Aperature to get a dark or black background for the subject to really stand out and in my opinion give it a very unique look.

Yesterday @ximlouiii and I decided to try this type of photography out. We didn't have a camera on hand, so we took the photos with my phone and took a few photos with its flash, but then had the idea to use my tablet and his phone to light our subjects in blue and red!
This was our first try on Flash Photograpy and taken the circumstances into consideration, I think we did a great job!

The Steps

Here you can see us trying out different techniques to light the subjects, it wasn't as easy as you might think, and it took us over two hours to take 4 good photos!

We finally came with this setup which worked great for us:

If you want to see more photos, go to @ximlouiii's page (https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@ximlouiii/attention-to-all-epileptics-its-getting-colorful-flash-photography-with-ximlouiii), there you can see the other two photos we managed to shoot. We are also planning on trying Flash Photograpy again with a professional camera which should arrive in a few days, and I have a few more Flash Photography shots with 'normal' lighting which I want to share either today or tomorrow with you!
If you have any advice for us on how to improve, please write a comment!

But for now see you soon and have a nice day!
