Exploring Photography with Mark Wallace—AdoramaTV

AdoramaTV presents Exploring Photography with Mark Wallace. Learn how you can turn a white wall in to a light modifier.


In this exclusive AdoramaTV episode of Exploring Photography, Mark Wallace teaches you how to use a light modifier that most people have—a white wall! Using the white wall to bounce the light, along with movable white and black panels and reflectors, Mark will demonstrate lighting setups using studio strobes and speedlights.

Response to Fraustbyte

Hi Fraustbyte, the secret is to make sure your flash is off-camera at an angle. Adjust the flash and camera so the shadow lands out of frame, and use a reflector, as shown in this video, to bounce light into the model's face that is thrown into shadow by the angle of the flash. (BTW our apologies for the delayed response. Adorama has been closed for Passover break since 3/22, and just reopened)

White Wall and Shadows

How can I use a white or any other light colored background and not get shadows from the model on the background. I use a Nikon SB 700 as my light source.
