Bounce the flash on a plain, white, reflective surface. If a colored surface is used, the

● Creating a Catchlight
A catchlight is a reflection of the flash in the subject’s eyes. A catchlight in the eyes
makes the subject look more lively. For portraits, you can easily create a catchlight with
the 550EX. See page 42.
