Single Flash Assignment

Overall I was disappointed in my results on this assignment. Being new to handholding the flash off camera, I felt like I was so focused on getting the technical details correct that my content fell by the wayside. Also using the flash this way tend to make me more timid in my shooting because the flash is so in the subjects face its harder to ignore and have them act natural.
