  Hello Linda,

You have to be more specific but, I'll give it a try.

For outdoor photographs you can use "fill flash" or use a reflector to bounce the light back onto your subject where you want it to. That's provided your subject is close enough, i.e. if it's a landscape/scenic of far away mountains...you'll have to live with the shadows. However, if the photograph is of a person close to you, you can use the suggested methods.

For indoor you can use the above mentioned suggestions or use flood lights in combination with a reflector to fill in those shadowy areas.

Good luck.

Turn off all the lights, and use the fastest shutter speed you have.
See, you can't see any shadows in this picture.

  If you are talking about shawdows behind the subject when you use flash...I have that problem too. I just did a 50th wedding anniversary, I had the hardest time, trying to not get the shadows on the wall behind my subjects.
