In this assignment you will make photographs on location to show that you understand how to establish a balance between the available light (ambient light) and flash on camera. Two separate locations, one interior and one exterior are needed for this assignment. You must photograph a person in an interior and exterior setting. You may use the same person but be conscious of how their clothing fits with the environment. No images should be completely dominated by the flash or by available light. The flash can be the key light, but the ambient light must be critical to the success of the image. Show a conscious and intentional balance between strobe and non-strobe light.
