Some engagement sessions. Mostly outdoors or sometimes I use cabin/chalets near the lake. I do not have a lighting set up, as most of my work is natural light. However I have come to the conclusion that I need to get some form of lighting. Don't really want a lot of bulky equipment. Because I don't have a studio, therefore I move around a lot. Can you post some of your work, please. Because I'm doing it all wrong if you can manage to do it with your current setup. Also if you could post some lightsetup concurrently with natural/1 light setup. No I'm not a photographer, I just shoot with Canon DSLR with those lenses with red thingy...

LED lights (on camera) or on camera flash? I dont understand your title for the thread and first post are way different. I dont know what you are asking. Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.

My answer is neither, on camera that is. If you can even move it off camera just an inch, you're much better off. With that said, you might light the LED because it stays in the "what you see is what you get" that you're used to working with in natural light. The flash is going to give you more power though. That's something to consider. ah ok. Agreed on camera is pretty bad. How many LEDs are needed to light some one up? what color would come off of it? Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.
