They are easy to imagine...;-) For me, the bracket
causes the appearance of what I call "the cast-iron
chin-brace effect"...;-) I prefer keeping the
flash lower (but above the lens - left, right, or
centered), with the primary light being available
light - or bounced ceiling light, with some direct
flash light used to reduce "under-side" shadows...
With most 35mm cameras, using a simple "L" bracket
(with a TTL remote cord) properly places the flash
head relative to the lens for both horizontal and
vertical shots. Combined with available light, the
results can look good...
