Bounce That Flash!

This photo was taken in a place with a ceiling where the flash was directed straight up. The light that then comes down is somewhat diffused, creating the pleasing, soft light effect on the face that you see here. The same principle also applies to flash that is bounced off of a wall or other surface to the side, it's just that the "mood" will tend to change with side lighting; it will probably be more dramatic, as shadows fall over faces in horizontal casts. Please see the second photo in this post.
