Default Need some help lighting this location - Thinking multiple stobes off camera?
Just wondering how many of the wedding photographers use manual flashes off camera with TTL on camera at a wedding reception. If so I'm just a little curious to hear some of the aspects you consider.


IE. - How many off camera flashes do you use?
- What do you aim to boost the "ambient" to with the manual flash boost?
- Where do you typically place the manual flashes?
- What cases would you not trigger the off camera manual flashes (if any)?
- Would you use a studio type strobe or strobes vs battery powered flashes?
- I've been to a wedding where the photog used an off camera flash (or flashes - can't remember for sure). Wish I paid closer attention but wasn't as interested in photography at the time. Anyway, I don't remember the flash or flashes that were off camera being annoying but I feel like they could be?
- I know it'll depend a little on the space but would you typically fire bare at the ceiling or us any type of modifier?
