The present invention is a bracket for use with a camera and a flash unit. The bracket comprises a base support member having a mounting portion adapted to engage with the bottom surface of the camera. The bracket further comprises a vertical support member engaged to the base support member. The bracket further comprises a horizontal support member engaged to the vertical support member. The bracket further comprise a flash unit support arm moveably engaged to the horizontal support member. The flash unit support arm extends from a first end portion to a second end portion which is adapted to mount the flash unit. The flash unit support arm is rotatable from a first position where the flash unit support arm extends inward to the vertical support member to allow the person to orientate the bracket to take a horizontal photograph to a second position where the flash unit support arm extends outward from the vertical support member to allow the person to orientate the bracket to take a vertical photograph. The bracket further comprise a first handle member engaged with the base support member and a second handle member engaged with the vertical support member. The first and second handle members extend outward from the base support member and the vertical support member, respectively. The first and second handle members are each disposed in close proximity to the center of gravity of the bracket. In the first position, the photographer may with a single hand grasp the first handle member to support the bracket and focus the camera to take a horizontal photograph. In the second position, the photographer may with a single hand gasp the second handle member to support the bracket and focus the camera to take a vertical photograph.
