There are a few ways to digitize photos, film negatives and slides:
Using a digital camera to digitize your images will provide very high quality results but it is the most expensive DIY setup. This process requires a high resolution interchangeable lens camera with a high quality macro (closeup) lens.
Connect your phone to your computer and move the photos from the file on your phone to your computer. You can also upload smartphone photos to the cloud and then transfer them to your computer. Once they’re on your computer, you can use photo organizing software to help you sort and categorize your photos.

To prevent this from happening, light up the surrounding area as much as possible and take photos without your flash. If you can detach the flash from your camera, move the flash away from the camera and then take flash photos.
