The photo above would not have been possible at a lower ISO without the aid of a flash. Additionally, it also gives us that beautiful window light look that so many food photographers love and crave. We’ve talked about window lighting tutorials before, but today, we’re releasing a video showing you how to do them.
The image above was show at ISO 100, but the image after the jump is at 6400. As most photographers know, at higher ISO settings you tend to lose the details in a photo. But just by adding a single flash, you get all the benefits of window lighting and the high details at lower ISOs.
Check out the video after the jump.
