I have always loved natural light portraits. I like being able to manipulate what I have available to me and make it work. I also like using light and shadow in many of my images. But I received my first off camera flash and have played with it and like that I usually get properly exposed images....now I am toying with lighting....not sure what to do with it, but I guess I will figure it out.

I use as much natural light as possible, but just bought a Speedlite 430EX11. My next goal is to invest in some studio lights/strobes etc.

I use both. I have some small strobes (SL 150) and I try to use as much natural light as I can. I am getting ready to invest into some Alien Bees, but still doing some research on how much light I will need.

I use natural light only. I have a flash for my camera, but still need a lot of time to figure out how to properly use it. I am not a big fan of studio photography and the lighting that goes with it. I am more of a natural, candid photographer.

Depends on what I am going for. I love natural light but like using strobes to control the shadows in outside settings. If they want more of a studio setting I use my strobes there. I have flash points 320 and 620 strobes.
