Personal Tips 9 September The power of using flashes for your campaign photos In the absence of natural light, we are required to add artificial light to illuminate a scene, usually in the form of flashes. Clearly, this is mostly the case when we shoot indoors and don’t have enough daylight coming in through the windows or we don’t want to rely on it.

Flashes are either synchronised with the camera through a wire or radio, or they react to other flashes if they are in range.
