Micheal Gross of MikeyAndMandy.com has a perfectly basic way for amateurs to increase the effectiveness of their nude photography: Bounce the flash. Unlike the complex system of lighting a scene with multiple off-camera strobes, his method allows for better lighting while still allowing for full camera control of the flash and easy setups.


"The flash shoud be pointed at the ceiling, slightly behind you. The light bounces down with a well lit, flattering overall effect."
