FLASH.

Flash is a good thing, I have come to realize. For this project, I tested out how flash can affect an average photo in broad daylight, and what enhancements it can make in a photo. Flash is an easy way to add an extra light source to a photo, and get rid of any nasty lighting that the sun can make, bringing out the good only.

The Before – Too Exposed.

Without flash, taking a normal photo outside can cause some pretty harsh shadows, and only mediocre lighting/exposure.

The Before – Not Exposed Enough.

This photo is okay, but the subject is too dark. Her face is underexposed, leaving shadows that don’t look good, and the photo has no depth.

The After.

As you can see, the harsh natural shadows have been compromised, and the flash has left a nice blended shadow, and has added some richer color to her face and hair.
