Four Ways to Trigger Your Flash


Here we show you four easy ways to trigger your ash. We break down how easy it is to trigger
your ash and explain which options you can use in different situations. The best part is there is
an option that will work with any ash you may have.

Flash to Background Distance


In this section, we demonstrate how easy you can change the color of your background by moving
closer or away from a wall with your subject and your ash.

Aperture Demonstration - Shooting into the Sun

With an open Aperture (lower number) you’re letting in a lot of light. Closed Aperture (smaller
number) you’re restricting the amount of light.

Quality of Light
This part of the guide focuses on the Quality of the light meaning how you can change the look of
the light generated by your ash by using a modi er like an umbrella. An umbrella will serve to
give you a smoother, softer light with nice shape as compared to a bare ash head which will give
you a harder, more contrasty light.

"Pick up this video and take your photography to the next level…"

Jared Polin knocks it out of the park in his new Beginner Flash Guide video! He and veteran studio
photographer Adam Lerner basically teach you to not be afraid of your ash. Anyone can mount a
speedlight to the hotshoe on a DSLR, but your portraits begin to take on a more professional look
when you can take that speedlight off the camera and experiment with postion, power, and
exposure settings. Jared and Adam teach you that you can accomplish this with a minimum of
inexpensive gear and a few basic lighting rules.

The information is presented very professionally in easy-to-digest sections that are broken up by
short “Just the Tips” segments that contain a lot of useful information. They do several in-studio
shoots as well as go on-location for environmental portraits. I love it when these two
photographers team up because they compliment each other so well. In this video, the viewer gets
a nice combination of Adam’s no-nonsense technical approach and Jared’s air for the artistic view
and out-of-the-box thinking. This video is essential for photographers just starting out who want
to experiment with lighting, while being extremely useful for experienced photographers who
want to re ne their technique.

Like all of the Fro Knows Photo videos, this one is a lot of fun to watch. We’ve all seen Jared dance
several times before, but this video is worth the price just to see Adam do the “Flash Dance.” Pick
up this video and take your photography to the next level.

"I would have never had the con dence without this video ash guide…"

Off camera ash. Oh man! I was always put off by the fear of not knowing what to do. So, I
considered myself a " natural light" photographer. Well, that's one way to put yourself into a box
and have all your images look like everyone else's. I thought to myself what if I learned and
understood off camera ash! Could I begin to separate myself from the pack. My options to
educate myself led me to Jared and Adam. I must say that the two of them work very well in the
ash guide. They begin with the basics and branch out from there. I quickly started to emulate
what Jared and Adam were teaching. Low and behold, it wasn't as scary or hard as I previously
thought. I am happy to have purchased 2 speed lights with triggers since watching. I would have
never had the con dence without this video ash guide.

If you were to invest in one educational product this year. Make the video ash guide the one. It
will push you into your next level of photography.

"Adam and Jared broke it down so anyone can understand the concepts. It is cause …"

Jared and Adam have put together the perfect beginner guide for using ash. It has really allowed
me to take my photography to the next level.

I have watched YouTube videos and attended a ash basic class at a local shop but still didn’t really
understand how to use my SB900 ash. I was overwhelmed by all the different settings and factors
that come into play. I would try to make too many changes at once and get frustrated. I didn’t
know how to achieve the results I was looking for. Everything was blown out our just had bad
shadows.

After watching the beginner ash guide I now “get it”. I understand how to approach a shoot and
how to make changes one at a time as needed. Adam and Jared show you real life demonstrations
on real life shoots. I watched the video in its entirety and went back with my own equipment set
up to practice the techniques being demonstrated.

The best part is this isn’t hard and complicated. Adam and Jared broke it down so anyone can
understand the concepts. It is cause and effect and making one adjustment at a time. You don’t
have to spend a lot of money to get started improving your photography either. I picked up a great
used ash, that I now know how to use and an umbrella and stand and I’m ready to go.

Thank you Adam and Jared for putting together a comprehensive guide that even I can understand.
Using off camera ash really takes things to the next level. Before this guide I had the right
equipment but didn’t understand what I was doing.

Thanks!

"There are so many parts about it that I loved. The Fro Quick Tips. Positioning tips…"

Jared, I love the ash guide. As I have said before you and Adam are a great team and are amazing
teachers together. There are so many parts about it that I loved. The Fro Quick Tips. Positioning
tips instead of ghting the settings in your camera. Changing the ash power. You and Adam by
walking through all these things just make everything make sense. I nally understand the settings
menu in my ash. I always hatted using it, to harsh or could not tell it was even on. Now that I
know an easy start up kit that will give me a way to get the most out of using my ash I can't wait
to get started building my ash kit. i am looking forward to working on my indoor shots and
getting softer outdoor shots. Thank you for letting me preview the Flash Guide. I will be getting
one for sure. Thank Adam for me too. Love

"You showed me that you don’t need a top of the line camera and lenses to get great…"

I learned so much from this video. I thought ash photography was going to be complicated, but
you and Adam broke everything down and made it very simple for me. Everything was step by
step. I didn't realize how little equipment I needed to start out. You showed me that you don't
need a top of the line camera and lenses to get great pictures. The rst hour of the video was very
informative. Learned about exposure/aperture/lighting/ ash power and what is affected when each
is changed.

I liked that it wasn't just a regular, boring tutorial. It had some of that Fro Flare!! Just The Tips
were a great tool to break up the other segments.

"I was pretty surprised at how quickly it started making sense once I purchased…"

i bought a nikon speedlight a few years ago, thinking i'd be able to go outside and shoot some
moody backlight shots right off the bat. i was way wrong. i was quickly so confused at mixing
light sources that i pretty much gave up, except for occasionally throwing it on my camera and
bouncing the light off the ceiling at parties. i was pretty bummed... not to mention a few bucks
short and left with a little less space in my bag.

I was pretty surprised at how quickly it started making sense once I purchased this guide I really
had a solid understanding of how i can start with my ambient lighting, get the exposure i wanted,
and add my ash in later without blowing my settings out of the water. i think i counted 4 or 5 "a-
ha! moments" before i was through the 3-hour guide.
