How can I set up lighting for indoor portraits?

To set up lighting for indoor portraits, consider using a softbox or umbrella light to diffuse the light and reduce harsh shadows.

What is the best position for the light source?

Position the light source at a 45-degree angle to the subject and slightly above their eye level for flattering results.

Should I use natural light or artificial light?

It depends on the look you want! Natural light can create a soft, warm feel, while artificial light gives you more control over the setup.

How do I avoid shadows on the background?

To avoid shadows, place the subject further away from the background and use a light that illuminates both the subject and the background evenly.

Any tips for using reflectors?

Yes! Use reflectors to bounce light back onto the subject, filling in shadows and adding dimension to your portraits.
