I have been trying to do a few paid portrait sessions here and there over the last few years and most of what I do is outdoor sets. Having said that, occasionally I use flash and other times I just try to go whenever the light is good. Anyhow, I’m just curious for those who do this regularly, do you use flash as much since the masking is so good in Lightroom and similar programs now? There’s a lot, especially with macro work you can do to simulate flash affects just by masking alone. So overall, I’m just curious, if you still use flash as often as you did before the introduction of the masking features in the editing software?
