We all have that one problem, lighting. No matter how hard we try, we always have a problem on how our pictures turn out. Many people think it's their camera, but it's most likely not.
If it's possible, take the pictures outside. No matter the position you want the picture taken in, you'll always have some sunlight. If you're stuck with taking the picture inside, or if you'd rather have the picture inside, then have your light source on your side. You don't want the light to harsh, or it'll create a shadow, and you don't want the light source directly in front of the person in the picture, because harsh lighting may make them squint, or it may have other negative affects to your picture.
If possible, go for two light sources on each side of you, or the person you're taking the picture of, because it will even the lighting out on both sides of the person in the picture. And you should never rely on your cameras flash for your main lighting, because even your flash will cast a shadow. You should have a main source of lighting, and you could use your flash to fill in any shadows that your pictures main light had created.
Want some tips on using the flash on your camera?
- When using your flash, try to avoid mirrors or windows
- Remember that your cameras flash is not as powerful as you may think it is
- To get the full affect of the flash, you'll need the person you're taking the picture of, in the flashes range, otherwise it won't come out like the flash is supposed to.
- If you're taking a picture of more than one person, be sure that each person is the same length away from the flash, otherwise the lighting on each person will be different.
