Flash-lit photographs are garish and unflattering, they contribute nothing to a photograph -- discuss.
Seriously though, that is a rather a lot like how I feel about flash photography, but am I missing something? Is it just a case of not knowing what I'm doing? If I can avoid using a flash gun (and by flash gun, i mean the little pop-up on my D7000) then I will. When I think about larger flash-guns i just think "little pop-up flash" but with even more ugly, stark, light! I've tried diffusers in the past but still not convinced. Where am I going wrong? I know people use flash and make great images and I expect the best flash pictures might not even be seen as being taken using flash.
My point is...if I want to start using flash in a subtle way, where do I start, and how?
