Hi there,
Macro photography requires that you hold the camera close to the subject. Usually you want to do this with a tripod to ensure stability because any shake will result as a blur.
A standard on-camera flash will produce a shadow on close objects because the lens is very big.
You will want off-camera lighting or a "macro ring flash"
Something like this:
