Using the Flash Gun

I enjoy using the flash gun as I find the dark lighting surrounding the subject from the intensity of the light aesthetically pleasing. It centres your photo, emphasising on the intent of your picture. The harsh lighting provokes a sense of realism. In the colour photograph of Helena, she is make up free and almost fully exposed. There is no dressing-up of how she looks, the lighting is honest and to me there is no pretence. To use a flash gun in my final photos would be useful in my intent of showing the realities of life.
