A Three Light Portrait with Portable Flashes / Young girl portrait

In this lesson we will look at producing a simple three light portrait with portable flash units.

Portable flashes are the type of flashes that the camera salesman told you that you could not live with out when you got your new digital camera.

Once you got it home you never used it, because you never had the time to set it up and if you did, it seemed too confusing to figure out.

This lesson will help to clear this up and allow you to get some use of that great deal you got with your camera.
