Light

Girl smiling, photo by Tom Ang

  1. The soft light you get on overcast days is especially good for photographing people, as is produces the best skin tones.
  2. Side or 'cross' lighting is more interesting because it gives depth and form to your subject (the person you are photographing).
  3. In this picture, soft light from a low sun lights the girl's face from the side, while a zoomed-in setting throws the background out of focus.
