Pros and Cons of Flash

• Direct flash may flatten facial contours or cause shine.

• Harsh flash can emphasize imperfections and obscure detail needed for informational analysis.

Smart Flash Tips

• Bounce flash off a nearby wall for diffusion.

• Try both with and without flash; choose the clearest, most natural result.

• Adjust positioning so the flash isn’t directly aligned with your face.

Flash and Analysis Accuracy
