The things close to the camera are super brightly lit, the background is pitch black, and anyone in it looks startled. It\u2019s all very \u201cstudent night at the local bar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And yes, if you\u2019re taking photos of people indoors at night with your smartphone, it\u2019s very hard not to get those photos. But you can use flash more carefully, in different ways, and in other situations where the results will be a lot better.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Use_Flash\"><\/span>When to Use Flash<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Flash is one of the many tools available to a photographer. While your smartphone or camera might push you to use the \u201cAuto Flash\u201d mode, doing so should still be a deliberate choice on your part. Some of the times you should consider using it are:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_You_Dont_Have_Another_Option\"><\/span>When You Don\u2019t Have Another Option<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ll be honest:\u00a0Outside of a studio, using flash is most often a last resort for me. It\u2019s what I turn to when the other tools I prefer to use won\u2019t work. Some of the other options to look at first are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Night Mode, Night Sight, or whatever your smartphone calls it. These AI-powered modes can get excellent results in low-light situations. In most cases, they\u2019ll give you better photos than the flash.<\/li>\n<li>Your camera\u2019s exposure controls. You can use a slower shutter speed, a wider aperture, and a higher ISO to take photos at night. Sometimes it won\u2019t work, but it\u2019s worth trying first.<\/li>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>od, so that you can\u00a0use a really slow shutter speed. If you\u2019re taking low-light\u00a0landscape photos, it\u2019s the first thing you should turn to. A flash won\u2019t light up the full scene, anyway.<\/li>\n<li>Environmental lighting. It just looks more natural. If you\u2019re indoors, try window light or any available light fixtures. Outdoors, street lights and lit shop windows can work great.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-719806 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2environmental-lighting.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"good environmental light portrait\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/snapsure.app\" data-credittext=\"Harry Guinness\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">I was able to use a wide aperture, a high ISO, and a street light to get this shot without a flash. <span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/snapsure.app\">Harry Guinness<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You also have the option not to shoot.

This normally happens when you\u2019re trying to freeze some action or take a picture of something that\u2019s moving quickly. It could be a skier (like in the photo above) or your dog running along the beach. In these situations, a flash can be really useful and\u2014when done right\u2014can give you a really dramatic shot.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s important to note that this is also one of the trickiest times to use a flash. Autofocus doesn\u2019t always play nice with flash and can be especially tricky in low light. The best option is often to manually focus and stage the shot.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Its_Really_Sunny_Outside\"><\/span>When It\u2019s Really Sunny Outside<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes you need flash not because there\u2019s too little light, but because there\u2019s too much. On very bright, sunny days, the natural light can give you ugly, harsh shadows. That\u2019s why, when you\u2019re taking portraits, we recommend that you find some overhanging shade from a tree or building.<\/p>\n<p>If no shade is available, though, you can use a fill flash to add light and fill in the harshest shadows. It\u2019s a really popular technique in editorial and fashion photography. When done right, it looks completely natural.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Radically Improve Your Photos with a Flash Diffuser<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Youre_Taking_Group_Photos\"><\/span>When You\u2019re Taking Group Photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-719808 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/group.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"group portrait\" width=\"650\" height=\"417\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/snapsure.app\" data-credittext=\"Harry Guinness\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flashes are very convenient for group portraits. <span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/snapsure.app\">Harry Guinness<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Taking photos of groups of people is hard in the best of circumstances.

It\u2019s what creates the really obvious flash photo look. If you can use an external, off-camera flash to change the angle of the light, you\u2019ll instantly get better results.<\/p>\n<p>Also, diffusing the flash using a softbox, umbrella, or other lighting modifier goes a long way.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re inside, you can \u201cbounce\u201d the flash off the ceiling or a nearby wall. It changes the angle of the light and diffuses it.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, these tips really only apply if you\u2019re shooting with a dedicated camera and have separate flashes. If you\u2019re using your smartphone, you don\u2019t have as much control. Still, there are some things that you can do.<\/p>\n<p>Step back from your subjects. The flash is brighter closer to the camera, so having a bit of distance makes things look less dramatic.<\/p>\n<p>Play around with and practice using the flash from time to time. You don\u2019t want to have to puzzle through how it works when you\u2019re under pressure to get a photo. The more familiar you are with it, the better the results will be.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-719810 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fixed.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Edited flash photo\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/snapsure.app\" data-credittext=\"Harry Guinness\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A little bit of editing can go a long way. <span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/snapsure.app\">Harry Guinness<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Edit your photos after you take them.
