GFK52794
The camera was set on manual and the on-camera flash was aimed at and bounced off of a silver reflector just out of the frame to the left. This technique gives a little more modeling to the light than is obtained with the on-camera flash aimed directly at the model. The manual exposure for the flash resulted in a dark background.
Canon EOS 5D, f/5.6 @ 65 mm, 1/20, ISO 400, Flash
