If you use a flash bracket to elevate your flash, the shadow goes down and straight behind the subject. Minimal shadow. Flat lighting, though. OTOH, using the bracket is about as good as you can do for a 1-flash, wander-around situation like a wedding reception. I stand by my previous statement. Don't want to make a war out of it, though.

Hi Lon The wall will catch the shadow from the subject. Use bounced flash (off the cieling or a wall or a door or whatever) or totally off camera. Make sure the shadow hits the wall outside the "frame" - keep great distance to the wall. I tend to agree with Alan! Jens

This has not been my experience if you use a longer lens and keep your subject reasonably close to a wall. I like to use a 135 prime in-doors for such shots. It always sucks if you're using something like a 50mm and there is no close background.... you'll get a subject surrounded by black every time....
