Concentrating Light
I have fitted a snoot to my flash head to concentrate the light into a narrow beam, I then used it to take a self portrait. Although the picture was taken in daylight, because I have used a small aperture only the flash light has shown in the final image.
As you can see by using such narrow beam of light a highly atmospheric effect it achieved, the light has to be very carefully positioned because it is so narrow, and quite low powered.I found it best to use the light to pick out the edges and texture of the subject by angling it from above and behind, this has produced a strong chiaroscuro effect.
