World-renowned portrait photographer Joel Grimes discusses his use of flags and grids to minimize lens flare during in-studio and on-location portraiture. Flags are more commonly used in-studio as they need to be mounted on a second light stand. Grids are extremely useful when shooting outdoors as they are lightweight and mount quickly onto your softbox.
