May 1, 2012 1:12 am Great article Molly, but I think I have to disagree with the blanket "no flash" statement. Flash can be your best friend or worst enemy depending on the situation. As you stated " on camera" flash can lead to red eye, which is easily fixed in post or massive over exposing which can be fixed with beforehand with some flash compensation. If you are a little more serious, you can add a flash bracket to help with the redeye or ugly shadows if your subject is up against a wall. Without a flash you are sometimes left with ugly overhead lighting that can leave you with a raccoon effect or in the case of your shot of Valerie Perez as Zantanna partially obscured eyes. I make the call based on the shot normally but even with my 30mm 1.4 i still try to add some fill just to counteract the over head lights. Oh yeah, always thank your subject, they put a lot of effort into those costumes!
