lighting notes

• When photographing people indoors by available light, move lamps closer to them or vice versa for more flattering light.
• Crumple a big piece of aluminum foil, spread in out again, and wrap it around a piece of cardboard, shiny side out. It makes a good reflector. 
• If your subject is front lit by window light, keep the person close to the window to make the room’s back wall fall off in darkness.
