Simple portrait lighting tips


“Hey, Bob, stand against the wall so I can take your photo!” – that’s how most unprofessional portraits get started. That’s not how it should be done; that’s how police photographers take mug-shots.
If you examine nice portraits, you’ll see very quickly that they are not taken against a wall. They are made with care to get the lighting
right, and to honor the person being photographed.
It’s not hard to take a nice portrait for yearbooks, annual reports, newsletters and presentations. All it takes is attention to lighting, framing, focus, and posing.
