Have you covered any topics on “What to use if you don’t have the equipment”? Although I’ve been shooting for several years I am starting to get the itch for portrait photography. I have a great camera and that is about it, everything I shoot is using natural light only (99.9% of the time) Are there common household items that can be used to give the effect of studio lighting? I am currently on a very tight budget and running out and purchasing the proper ighting equipment just isn’t in the cards right now. I know that proper lighting and proper use of lighting is what makes the difference between a portrait and a snap shot, so how can I properly use what might be laying around?

Thank You,
Terri Peters

Thank you very much for the tips. I especially like the ones of the girl in front of the window. I would like to know where I might find tips on how to position people to take stricking photos. In particularly, large group shots.

Great tips! I never really thought about that eye level thing would really make a difference in your portrait

i was pleased to hear him talk about the fill flash for outdoor back lit subjects. i have seen so many “pro” photographers with pics that are so dark around the face. i was begining to think i had made it up. not many people will tell you to use a flash in bright sun light. i really like the shooting from below eye level. great advice. i have never heard that. great site.
