Flash photography is the use of a camera flash bulb in a variety of possible situations where there doesn't seem to be enough light. The most common use of flash photography is group portraits at gatherings where there is not enough light to take a satisfactory exposure.But there are many other situations where the flash could be used such as: fill-flash situations when the background is brighter than the subject, using the flash to light up a room and creating better coloring, or using the flash to freeze a moving object in a dark situation.-Indoor Flash PhotographyIn typical indoor situations there will probably not be enough light to take a normal hand-held well-exposed photo. There are many indoor flash photo opportunities you may be faced with. You may want to cast light on a group of people for a portrait photo. You may want to throw light into a room for an architectural photo.

A flashgun is an essential accessory for taking pictures after dark, but it can also be surprisingly useful during the hours of daylight. Many cameras, including SLRs, have built-in flash units nowadays, so that the photographer may no longer have to make the decision to pack the flashgun. But for after-dark photography, these miniature tubes are rarely powerful enough or correctly situated for great results. The flash provides a harsh lighting with strong shadows and being so close to the lens creates the additional problem of 'red-eye'. A supplementary flash-gun, on the other hand can be positioned so that the subject is lit from an angle - by mounting the unit on a bracket to the side of the camera, or by angling the head upwards so the light bounces off the ceiling or purpose-built reflector. Separate flashguns can also be fitted with devices that soften the light, for more natural- looking results. Where built-in flashguns really prove themselves useful is during daylight.
