Flash Portraits at Night | Ask David Bergman

Today's question from Michael is, “I want to shoot at night against a skyline so you can see the city lights (like shooting NYC from the Jersey side), but with a model in front. How can I shoot this without having my model hold still for a 30-second exposure?” Go to http://www.AskDavidBergman.com to submit your own photo question, see David's gear list, and view the episode archive.
