I was not clear enough. I meant: I think the camera was tilted to get a portrait size(higher than wide). The flash that is on top of the camera is then on the side - left or right of the lense. So the shadow from the flash is on the opposite side - if you have turned the camera clockwise, the flash on top of the camera is now on the right side of the camera, giving a shadow on the left side of your subject. In general I think a shadow behind your subject is a bit less disturbing that when it is before his/her face... off stage lighting is higher than your subject, and gives a shadow lower than the subject, and less sharp... do I make myself clear?
Nice low perspective, I can see the flash was on the right side of the camera - if you hold it the other way round, the shadow left of the subject would be on the other side, see for yourself whether you like that better!
