Flash Shadows When Shooting Portraits
I am experiencing many problems with dark shadows when taking portrait photos. Any suggestions on how to eliminate them? Thanks.

Put more distance between your subject and the wall/backdrop. Bounce flash. Move the flash off-camera to a bracket, so that shadows fall lower. Add more ambient light (more room lights, longer shutter speed). Use additional slaved speedlights to the side and behind the subject. Use several studio-style umbrella and soft-box lights.
