Explaining Fill flash

Fill flash photography is a technique used to brighten the shadow areas of the photo.

so that the different brightness areas of the image are more balanced.

You’ll get better details to show up in the shadow areas of your photo.

Fill flash acts as a supporting light, one that pops a bit of brightness back into those too-dark areas.

It lets you get a shot that is well exposed in the background and the foreground (as opposed to a foreground silhouette or a bright-white background).

Fill flash is especially useful on sunny days, when the harsh overhead light beats down on your subject and casts lots of unwanted shadows.

But you can also use fill flash when the sun is low in the sky and your subject is backlit, or when your subject is in the shade and the background is bright, or a number of other times when you have a dark subject on a bright background.
