Bouncing the light

Here I played around with how light (Flash) looked when used straight on when taking a picture compared to bouncing the light and hitting the object from a different side. This lowered the brightness of the picture by lowering the whiteness that the flash gave to her face. 

When looking more into the two pictures i felt like the flash gave a different message and mood when looking at it. Ellas look gave off a more sharper look, which could be a technique to use or a way to highlight a certain feature. In this case Ella's eyes stand out more to a viewer of this picture.  

This created a more natural looking photo, allowing the light which was being bounced to lighten the golden tones of her hair without washing out the picture althogther.
