Flash photography basic concepts

Every flash photo is 2 exposures in one.
Fill flash can be used when the subject is backlit or side lit to eliminate silhouettes or shadows.
Flash exposure is not affected by shutter speed.
Flash illumination is dramatically affected by distance.
Your camera measures ambient light and flash illumination separately.
With automatic flash metering, the flash illumination is measured after the shutter button is pressed, and the flash output is adjusted accordingly.
Every SLR camera with a mechanical shutter box has a maximum flash sync shutter speed.
Harsh lighting, washed out subjects and red eye can be eliminated by using diffusers and light bouncing.
It is possible the change the order of when the flash fires using ''Rear Curtain Sync"
Removing the flash from the top of the camera helps eliminate red eye and unflattering shadows.

I think the framing effect of the mirror looks captivating. It could convey a story, it has lots of effects such as the mirror, my hand the background also the fact that my face is covered my the camera. The actually camera is dark as well as my hair but the background is brighter balancing it out. The photo shows circle composition (the mirror) and it balanced.

I think the subject looks captivating, the color of my hair with the background is interesting. It conveys a serious emotion as there really is no facial expression other than that. It has lights, darks and shadows, my face is lit while the background is darker and the background has shadows while my face has none. The composition is simple, it has balance and symmetry.

The selfie within the portrait I think is captivating and interesting. The content has a story, taking a selfie instead of portrait but using it in the portraits anyway. The photo has a dark background in parts but still has light and my phone screen has it's own light. The photo is centered and balanced but otherwise is simple.
