Indoor lighting digital photography

Taking good indoor pictures is challenging because the light is often dim. Natural light is so much brighter than most artificial light that it’s usually best to take indoor pictures of people with indirect light from a north window (or any window not admitting direct sunlight).

Window light: Soft, indirect window light is good for people pictures. If the side of the face away from the window is too dark, reposition yourself and the subject so more of the face receives window light. Since dim window light may force the camera to use a slow shutter speed, hold the camera extra steady or use a tripod.

Artificial lights: Table and ceiling lights don’t often provide attractive lighting for people pictures. Try to avoid using them, opting for flash or window light. If you must use them, hold the camera extra steady or use a tripod.
