automatic settings as we have to click several pictures in quick successions and it can be difficult to maneuver through manual settings. Many of the flashguns have motorized zoom heads these are specially a standard feature for a mid range and above flashguns. These have the ability to automatically track the focal length or the zoom settings, they can further narrow the light beam for the far away or telephoto shots so that the flash becomes more powerful and better pictures are taken. One can also find the flip down reflector in the flashgun that helps in taking wide angle pics. They also come with bounce and swivel head option for ease of use. This comes handy especially when you want to bounce the light off walls and ceilings instead of focusing it on your subject. This provides softer light and is very good for portrait picture, one of the things we have learnt as freelance photographer in dubai. However when you do this you tend to lose the intensity of light. Some people also use the flash gun off camera which leads to creation of shadow modeling providing three dimension appearance in the picture. For such shot wireless connectivity of flash guns are also an option under several brands and models. As a freelance photographer in Dubai we would definitely recommend you to go ahead and get yourselves a flashgun with swivel head.
