Lighting Portraits On Location With ND Filters

Learn the basics of lighting your portraits on location using an ND filter!

Lighting a good portrait or headshot on location doesn't have to be difficult. One of the challenges you'll run into if you're a bokeh lover is balancing your flash with the ambient light when you're at a wide-open aperture. By using a variable ND filter, you can control that ambient exposure and keep your strobe from having to work hard to overpower the sun and the available light.
