The light from the flash occurs in milliseconds, a time too fast for the pupils to close. This causes the light to pass through the pupil and reflect at the back of the eyeball. The red colour is the reflection of blood vessels in the choroid

Camera's equipped with pre-flash circumvent this problem by emitting a series of flashes in quick succession

If someone is taking a picture of you in a place that is darker than the flash of the light on your camera, when the light flashes it bounces off the back of your eye which is red (from red blood cells), thus capturing an appearance of a red pupil in the picture. Key to reducing red eyes in pictures, use proper lighting or don't use the flash.
