An external flash is a great way to improve the quality of your photographs, and not just those taken indoors or in low light. I think many people shy away from flash because they know how horrible a smartphone or point-and-shoot camera flash is. You know, that blinding point of light that washes out your subject and leaves your background completely black. Luckily, it doesn't have to be this way.

From snapping a shot of your meal to taking a family portrait, indoor photography often poses many challenges simply because there isn't enough light. We've put together a few tips to help you achieve good results inside.

Flash photography is a scary subject for many beginning photographers, but even for experienced shooters it can lead to headaches. As for myself, I fought with flash for many years before it finally started to make sense. Understanding not just how to properly expose your flash photos, but also how flash is inherently different from ambient light, is key to creating solid images with your speedlight. If you have a DSLR camera and have been afraid to delve into flash photography, then this guide is for you, whether you’re the family photographer, a weekend warrior, or an aspiring professional.
