If flashless photo already fulfill your need than you dont need them

No, you don't 'need' a speedlight. On the other hand, some lighting equipment will certainly enable you to expand your horizons.

IF you decide to go ahead with purchasing a speedlight I'd suggest looking up 'strobist lighting 101' for a good tutorial on lighting.

If you want to use flash as a bit of a fill when your subjects are back lit it helps but has it's limitations. You can get a cheap Yongnuo with ETTL and learn about flash.

It would be helpful if you only had one thread on this topic. That way all the advice you get can be evaluated together,

i'd start using the on-board flash and see what you think. Seems like all the pics you share are outside, so a dedicated flash is just going to give you more power, it's not going to be a big difference for fill light.

give it a shot and see what you think.

OTOH, if you want to buy triggers, a stand and a softbox, well a dedicated flash is what you want.
