Sunlight
When shooting outdoors have the sun at your/photographer's back so the
faces of your subjects will be well lit, and not come out too dark. |
Shade
When the sun is very bright, it’s better to move into a shady
spot to take your photos – that way the people in your photo won’t be squinting. |
Outdoors? Use a flash.
Bright sun can create unwanted shadows on faces. Eliminate shadows by
using your flash to lighten facial shots. On cloudy days using a flash can help make the
person stand out. |
Night Photos
Taking good photos at night can be a challenge. It helps to use a more
sensitive film – try ISO 400 or higher. Find a place with several light sources
and place your subject near a wall or other backdrop so the background isn’t pitch
black. |
Red Eyes
Red eyes are caused by light from the flash entering the eye and bouncing
off the blood vessels at the back. To minimize this, use the red eye option on your camera,
or let as much natural light as possible into the room.
