This guide will teach you how to use external lighting to achieve the same results as natural light but without the limitations that natural light has. You can now shoot during any time of the day and have better control of your light. I have found that many photographers are scared of using external lights because it's over complicated. My system is very easy to use and learn so I've found that many former natural light photographers have fully embraced OCF after using the Dramatic Skies Handbook.
I started out as a natural light only shooter and I agree that I also don't like the look of regular flash. I do however feel the techniques I teach in the guide will help you understand how to use flash so that your images look more like natural light with a pop of flash, thus looking more natural. For the epic clouds and dramatic skies, I don't mind a little more drama, so while I feel this still doesn't look to "flashy" it does create a super, dramatic effect that will make your images stand out!
I include links to all the equipment you will need to achieve fast and easy results. If you have strobes/speedlights and a softbox, you may already have what you need. If not, the equipment list I supply is very inexpensive to get started with.
