A flash is a device that emits a short, intense burst of light. Photographers use a flash when there is not enough natural light or artificial light to properly expose a photo.
By using a flash, sufficient light reaches the film or image sensor, allowing a well-exposed photo to be taken.
A flash can be a separate device, but is also built into some cameras.
Types of flashes:
The government has set requirements for the lighting in passport photos. The lighting must be even, both on your face and on the background. Overexposure, underexposure, and reflection should be avoided.
Using a flash is allowed, but there should be no white spots on the face caused by the flash or artificial light in the photo. The flash should be used properly to ensure that the photo is well-lit and properly exposed.

For passport photos, it's crucial to avoid overexposure, as it can obscure facial features and lead to the photo being rejected for not meeting the required standards.
Can There Be Shadows in a Passport Photo?Shadows are not allowed in passport photos. The photo must have even lighting to avoid shadows on the face or in the background.
