Ok, so noob to off cam flash question here, but how do you attach a yongnuo 622c transceiver to a stand? Do I need to buy a clamp of some sort? If so any recommendations?

Cheers!

It's got a hotshoe on the bottom, so what's already on your stand?

Have you got a bracket for an umbrella? A softbox with a flashgun bracket?

If you let us know exactly what you have and plan on buying, we'll let you know if there's a missing link (not all gear is the same)

Darn already ordered that stand, should have asked on here first about those!

What is a modifier?

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!

It's any device used to change the nature of the light.

A small flashgun at a reasonable distance from a subject is a small point source of light, it'll create harsh dark shadows.

To alter the quality of the shadows you need to make the light softer and slightly less directional. The cheapest way is to bounce it off a wall or celing (but they have to be handy and white to avoid colour casts).
Next up is a shoot through umbrella, it softens the light nicely - but you lose some light back from it, which then gets reflected all over the place and disturbs the directional light you'd set.

Next up is a reflective brolly, more controllable than the shoot through, but slightly less soft.

Then there's softboxes, softer, more controllable, which can be gridded for better shadow control

Beauty dishes, soft light with harder edged shadows

All sorts of more specialist items, but you should have the basics there.

Reminds me of the 1980s, when I'd tell clients "buying a computer is only the opening of your chequebook."
