With in this series of images on multiple flash, I shot them within a controlled environment of the studio. To create multiple flash I used a tripod, a snoot this this allowed me to direct the light onto the subjects, I also used the light meter; this meant I could measure the light so I knew what camera settings to put on to the camera.
This image is very distorted, and badly taken, first of all the backdrop and the wall are visible, so the frame of the shot is not straight and includes too much as the backdrop should be the only thing behind the subject also it looks as though external light not including the snoot is in the shot, the yellow tinge color, makes the image very noisy and intense, her movements are very badly recorded also with lots of blur. The only good part about the image is it has a very strong chaotic atmosphere. In the image below I learnt from some if my mistakes within this image and improved in shooting multiple flash.
In this shot I made the same error as above, where the frame of my shot is too wide including, the wall next to the black backdrop screen. The clarity and difference in individual shots have improved in this image, the backdrop is a lot darker and there doesn't seem to be any external light apart form the flash on the snoot when shots are taken. I like the direction of movement that the subject is moving in, as he starts off further away from the camera and the shots pile up as he gets closer, showing multiple arms and legs getting larger, this gives a really interesting effect.
Progression-
In the future when shooting Multiple flash photography I need to make sure the frame fits only the subject and backdrop, that there is no excess light. I really like the effect of the multiple flash, but I don't think i would use it in my own photography, as I don't think it really has a place in documentary style photography.
