Jman how do you provide the light for your photos? I always thought that natural light was best and if you couldn't have that flash.
Man I have so much to learn haha
Truthfully, I don't think there is a clear cut answer, the type of lighting that works best will be dependent on a lot of factors.
Natural light looks nice for some situations, for what James is doing with clubs a flash or multiple flashes work really well, he's trying to show of all the detail of the hardware. Portraits look better with natural light, but it's a slim margin IMO. When I do portraits or school photos I have a single remote flash I use. It sits on it's own tripod and it allows me to point the light where I want it, as well as change the amount of light provided. I prefer taking outdoors shots because I think the lighting looks more natural for pictures of people. That is just my personal preference though.
