I’m always asked why I use flash outdoors and the answer is quite simple. The natural light doesn’t always give me what I want. Sometimes I want to complement or augment it and sometimes I want to override it completely.

And, yes, there’s more to it than simply adjusting the power level to even out the brightness.
