To Flash or Not

Turquoise velvet blazer, NY & Co. Black, cowlneck tank, Apt 9. Indian skirt, flea market. Black tights, Danskin. Black pumps, Bandolino. Gold-tone mesh necklace.

Generally, I use the flash indoors to photograph my outfits. Occasionally, though, I’m unhappy with the results. Sometimes the flash distorts the colors or textures to such a degree that I don’t feel that I’ve accurately captured the outfit. Today, was one of those days. See for yourself:


With flash on the left, without on the right.

The downside of no flash (even if adequate light conditions) is that my wrinkles are more obvious. Poo.

And I’m afraid I’ve got my skirt on sort of cock-eyed in all the photos!
