After the first unsuccessful, as it seemed to me, attempt to shoot with a flash during a snowfall, I tried to do it again. I chose twilight passing into the dark.
I'm not saying street flash photography is the next level. This is a whole separate direction, which is also not easy to study like classical street photography.
Unexpectedly, in some cases, interesting plots with courtyard spaces are obtained.
It would be interesting to shoot courtyards in this way, but the atmosphere in the pictures is completely different.
It would also be interesting to try a camera with a built-in flash, and not with an external one, as in my case.
The longer the focus and the wider the aperture is open, the larger the circles from the illuminated snowflakes become.
I have been familiar with this direction for a year now, but I still treat it with caution.
With flash, you can make it beautiful.
You can make unusual landscapes.
But with people it turns out some kind of conceptual documentary.
Trees are my best so far.
I can say with confidence that I am not ready to shoot with flash on a permanent basis.
But this is definitely a direction that I have already taken as a creative technique.
In a flash street, by the way, there are also branches!
There are those who shoot only people and only up close. It turns out creepy.
There are flash documentaries who shoot everything.
And there are reporters who sometimes and very delicately use an external flash.
The last option is the most interesting to me.
But while I am studying the direction, I will try all types and genres. Including the most hardcore...
