Hi, I'm doing a street portraits project. Most of the time light is not ideal. The small straight on Olympus E-PM2 flash sometimes just doesn't cut it. I would like to have the one flash in hand a'la Zack Arias as an option. It'd need to be small, unintimidating, with a diffuser and easy to use. After the person agrees to be photographed, I usually just a couple of minutes to take the shot.

I was thinking of using a low manual setting on the FL-LM1 Flash to trigger a cheap slave flash, would that work?

Links and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It may not be small or cheap enough but the Nissin Air1 commander and Di700A work well for me.
