Abstract
A flash bracket with an attached grip that does not affect the photographer's mobility or hinder the operation of the camera and that enables one to freely take photographs in the horizontal position (i.e., the landscape mode), the vertical position (i.e., the portrait mode), or with the flash detached from the camera for an off-camera lighting situation. The flash bracket permits a user to adjust the position of the flash with respect to the lens to limit the size of the undesirable shadows during flash photography. The flash bracket features an attached grip that allows a flash device to be easily installed with the flash directly to the side of or at an upwards slant from the camera. The grip is used when the flash is separated from the camera.
