What's the deal with flashes? How do they help photos?

They add light. Without light you cannot take a photo. They also let you control how much light is in your photo, what kind and colour the light is, how many sources of light, as well as where the light comes from.

They're an artistic tool. The "photo" in photography means light.

flashes are useful because then you can shoot more light into your photo

Not a matter of quantity alone but of control, Zach. It's directing the light that counts. They let you put the light where you need it. Have a primer.
