flash bracket

Bountyphotographer

Im going to be shooting some models that my friends want me to shoot for my own portfolio.
Would it look weird if I show up with a flash bracket instead of a light stand ???
Im planning on shooting by the beach on a overcast day or during the end of the day so the light should not be harsh.

Thanks

If it works for you it doesn't really matter if it looks weird. But, no, in that location it should not raise eyebrows.

I don't understand the question..would it look weird to who? Other photographers? The models?

So basically you want to use on camera flash instead of off camera flash. It's certainly doable but if off camera flash is going to give you much more flexibility and greater potential for interesting light.

ha ha ha Im always worrying too much about my surrounding .
For the models and anybody looking I guess.
i know I have to concentrate on taking pictures and not worry about others.......
I was really asking myself the question of having the flash on a bracket or on a light stand . I never shot with a light stand because a bracket seem easier than dragging the stand but if I et better lighting with the stand I might just use it .
