For those who may be interested - an exercise one can try to learn about lighting.
Take a model of some kind - doll, car, ship, railway loco as examples - and in a dark room take some flash lights of different sizes and set those at different directions and distances around the subject. Make a note of what each light does to the subject.
This will help when you come to use a flash(es) or other lights when you want to take an image. I find a built in or off cam flash at about 45 degrees to a subject helps me keep away from back flash off eyeglasses, cherry eyes, and does not flatten a subject's features like a front flash would.
