You love the look of natural light, but it limits you to shooting at certain times of day and relying on mother nature. Let’s take away that limitation, because contrary to common misconception, flash CAN look like natural light. In one of the most advanced start-to-finish tutorials from our premium workshop Lighting 4 | Creating Every Natural Light Effect Using Flash, we show you how to enhance existing light to simulate sunlight with off-camera flashes.

What You’ll Learn in This Free Tutorial
We’ve all had that “oh-no” moment as we watch the sunset over the horizon knowing that the beautiful golden light we seek to photograph is no longer available. With a couple of gear recommendations and a little technical knowledge, we’ve created a way to bring that light with you everywhere you shoot, no matter the conditions or circumstances. Here are a couple of reasons why you might want to replicate golden hour with flash:
- Re-create Lost Daylight: This technique can be used in scenes where the sun has already set and you are in need of a similar light source to light up the scene.
- Create Sun Flare: Get natural-looking light leaks by using this simple off-camera flash trick to get flares directly flowing into the lens without the sun.
In this tutorial, you will see how Pye created these final images using off-camera lighting to emulate sunlight. This is one out of 19 lighting lessons we teach in our newest advanced lighting course on how to create natural light effects using off-camera flash.
