Harsh lighting with a straight flash

I had a mini-session with Ally on Halloween night at the Gillian's home.  (The fire alarm went off during the shoot!)  I shot with the flash mounted on a camera bracket and the flash pointed up at about 45 degrees.    This type lighting is good for a Hollywood/glamour/paparazzi  type of look...

Here are a couple of shots of Ally during her senior photoshoot last year...
