18. TIPS FOR NATURAL LIGHT
A portrait at noon is very harsh lighting. Try sunrise or
sunset.
When indoors use available light from all sources (windows, doors,
cracks)
If your subject is outdoors, an overcast day is best. If the day is
sunny, make sure to use a reflector or electronic flash to fill in
shadows underneath the eyes

47. TIPS FOR USING A REFLECTOR
Use a reflector to fill in shadows
When outdoors can use the reflection of the sun. When indoors use
the reflection of the main light source
Gold creates warm tones and makes your subjects skin appear a bit
more tanned or golden (warm)
Silver Neutral in color although brighter than white and skin
appears cooler
White - Neutral color effect. Gathers the existing light and softly
fills in shadows to light your subject
48. tin foil (ALUMINUM) does NOT make a good reflector unless
your subject is blind or wants to be.
