6. Bounced flash

Fig. 6: Bounced flash

Photos shot with full frontal flash are easily recogni-

zed by their harsh, dense shadows. This is often

associated with a sharp drop of light from the fore-

ground to the background.

This phenomenon can be avoided with bounced flash

because the diffused light will produce a soft and

uniform rendition of both the subject and the back-

ground. For this purpose the reflector is turned verti-

cally by up to approx. 80° so that the flash is bounced

back from a suitable reflective surface (e.g. ceiling or

walls of a room). The reflecting surface for colour

shots must be white or have a neutral colour and it

must not be structured.

When swivelling the reflector ensure that no

direct light from the reflector reaches the

subject.
