Need to shoot images for eBay or Craigslist?
Here's some tips on lighting and inexpensive equipment to make those product shots look great.
Portrait lighting - the art of side lighting.
Portraits are a staple of any photographers portfolio but getting the most flattering lighting can be challenging, especially when you are not shooting in the studio. Side lighting is your go-to in these cases and is easily created by the clever use of windows, curtains, and the kinds of lamps you'd find in any house. There are also some ideas on what to have in your kit to get exactly the kind of light you want.
Reflected Light & Filtered Light
Nature provides some of the best reflective surfaces and organic filters. Learn how to use everything from flower petals to rain drops to light your subject.
The Best Natural Light - When you'd rather be sleeping.
Good photographers don't get to sleep or eat when they want. They need to be up when the sun is just about to rise and they need to be set up to shoot just when it is about to set. There is no better time.
