The main disadvantage about this type of flash is that it causes high contrasts and dark shadows which brings in odd effects in the photos.
# Fill in Flash is another type which is used commonly by the photographers. The fill-in flash is normally used when the background of the subject is brighter than the usual. The fill-in flash will help you to capture the subject by increasing the brightness level on the subject when compared to its background.
# Macro Ring Light Camera Flash: This flash is mainly used in the macro photography. By default, it produces a soft and diffused light. The main advantage of using the ring light camera flash is that it will help you to get as close as possible to the subject.
# Dedicated Flash: This is the most used flash type in the photography. This communicates with the camera. This type of flash can be either attached to the top of the camera or via the cable. As per the need, you can connect it with the normal camera and can use it.
