READ AND WRITE: Fill flash is a photography technique that apples more light to the subject if they are underexposed. There are different techniques depending on the style of photography you are doing whether that be portrait, landscape, or macro photography. For portrait, focus on keeping it subtle, placing the subject in an angling position of the sun, and/or make use of a reflector. For landscape, use the fill flash to sparkle the foreground, use lighting gels to adjust the color temperatures, and focus on the natural look. For macro, don’t use the built in camera flash, adjust natural lighting with the flash, and ponder over the Flash Bracket. You have two main options for a fill flash, the built in camera flash and a flash gun. Both have its own purpose and right situations on when to use them.

Cultural is both a visible and invisible force that we see and don’t see at the same time. Cultural photography doesn’t only consist of tribal cultures because that it not the only culture that it is out there. Culture resonates everywhere from densely populated cities to remote towns.
Culture cannot simply be perceived with a picture. Literally becoming a part of it will show its true beauty with its invisible context. The author of this article did that and often says, “experience first and photography second,” converting to Zen Buddhism for 7 concurrent years. He knew that as an outsider, he would never understand how buildings were made nor connect with a monk UNLESS he did it himself.
I’ve learned that cultural photography is not a direct, solid type of photography rather a subject. Cultural photography has a deeper meaning within its pictures and in my opinion, has the viewer relate and reminisce if they ARE part of that culture.
