There are a few basics to be aware of, but it’s nothing that a photographer of any skill level can’t handle.

“There are a few basics to be aware of, but it’s nothing that a photographer of any skill level can’t handle.” www.pclpublications.com The camera For most applications, the camera can be anything from a simple point and shoot up to a pro level DSLR. One consideration, that elevates portrait shots from the ordinary, is lens choice. A lens that has a large maximum aperture will give you two major benefits: Firstly, since you are in an indoor, natural light environment, there may not be as much light as you would wish and your shutter speeds may be quite low.

You can boost the ISO of course, but you want to retain as much quality in your shot as you can. A wider aperture allows more light to enter the camera, giving you the chance to use higher shutter speeds and therefore reduce the risk of camera shake. The second benefit is more of an aesthetic one. Large apertures also have very shallow depth of field. This fact may be beneficial, when shooting a portrait, if you have a subject with a distracting background.

Once focused on your subject, the background will be blurry and less intrusive. The light Natural light entering a room is your primary source of illumination. It can be as simple as a window, roof light, bay window, conservatory, or doorway. If the light source is near a plain wall then, if you need it, you instantly have a backdrop.

If it is a harsh, sunny day and the light entering the room is very strong and directional, you can always hang a white bed sheet over the window to act as a diffuser and take some of the harshness out of the shadows. Bounce A large piece of white card is a very cheap method of creating a reflector.

You can use defectors to bounce light onto your subject and create some extra fill light that can, if the light is too harsh, illuminate shadows. If you also happen to have some lamps in the room, you can employ them as simple secondary light sources. A bed sheet hung in from of them can soften their output if required. Settings Longer focal lengths are more flattering for portraits.
