Anything that will let you shoot vertical and horizontal without creating a "side" shadow.

That's what she should avoid? She asked what she should stay away from.

Hmmmm
I guess I should re-word that to anything that does't create a side shadow in the vertical or horizontal.
One product that comes to mind that Julie uses is the Custom Bracket Jr.
Available from B&H, of course.....

Why the JR over a Pro version I wonder?

Did you end up buying a bracket? I just gave mine away today, I didn't pick it out and I wasn't keen on the one I had. I'm going to get one that the flash just filps at the top. And smaller... mine was big and clunky and annoying.

If you got one that you like let me know.

Cheers
