quick portrait lighting

                                                                 Here's a quick one.

 

Bounce lighting has been around for as long as flash has. If you're able to turn your flash toward a white wall, it will be reflected and the size of the light will be enormous. This will soften the light immensely. However, sometimes, there are no walls around, white or otherwise. I've found that if you turn your flash, as if there were a wall, and hold up a piece of white material in your left hand, this soft lighting can be easily achieved.

Try it at different distances. The results are really noticeable.
