Ok first off, a flash does not get rid of shadows. Its purpose is to light your subject properly at the correct exposure. You can still shoot into the sun without a flash, if its turning out dark it means you metered on the sun and not your subject. Sometimes people want there subject to be dark and not lit to create a silhouette effect. Lens filters are nice to use but I would recommend not using them and doing post editing in Photoshop. If you want different looks, try not to shoot at eye level with your subject so much as a lot of photographer tend to do. Go low, go high, turn your camera at an angle etc. If you have any studio strobes, play around with the lighting, try using 1 light, 2 or 3 lights and see the different outcomes you get. If you want more of a Rembrandt look try using 1 studio strobe or window light coming from one side. Hope this helps.
