For the sake of this post, I will refer to the flash on my camera as Flash A and the flash on my light stand as Flash B.
My set up is to have one of the flashes mounted on my camera, and one on a light stand. The look of the photos is the same with either set-up, but I LOVE the 600 EX RT flashes because there’s one less moving part (no need for the pocket wizard), they have NEVER failed to fire, and I can change the settings on my off-camera flash from the flash I have mounted on my camera (instead of going back and forth to my light stand to change the settings on the off-camera flash). In all of these instances I am using 580exII flashes with pocket wizards to fire flashes or more recently I’ve purchased the Canon 600 EX RT flashes which have a built in transmitter. There are three primary times when I use off-camera flash.

Many natural light photographers are timid to take on off-camera flash, but if you’re shooting in sunlight at all – whether it be full sun or by back-lighting your subjects using the sun, you’re already well on your way! You’ve already mastered using the sun as your off camera light source. However, there are many times when adding a flash is necessary outdoors and once it gets dark, there’s no escaping its necessity. Most, if not all of these techniques, will work for just about anything when using off-camera flash. For most wedding days, I’m a natural-light shooter. Remember that most off-camera lighting concepts and principles are totally universal. I promise it’s nothing to be afraid of! This quick off-camera flash tutorial will get you on the right track. I am primarily a wedding photographer, therefore all of my examples will be related to weddings. If you’re reading this, you likely are a little intimidated by using off-camera flash and trust me, I’ve been there. Are you totally intimated at the thought of using off-camera flash? You’re not alone! Read on for our tips and tricks to master off-camera flash!
