camera flashes

Bright capture lights

Camera flashes are brief, intense bursts of artificial light used to illuminate subjects when photographing in low light.

The flash may be built into the camera or attached separately.

Figuratively, camera flashes evoke the scene of photographers capturing a celebrity or newsworthy moment: She emerged from the courthouse into a barrage of camera flashes.
