Capturing Images Indoors – General Tips
• Try to capture images in an area where there are a lot of
colors and patterns. If taking a portrait image of a person,
make sure the clothing does not have a high contrast to the
background (e.g. white shirt against black background).
• Depending on the subject and the indoor conditions, it is
generally better to have the light source at an angle (e.g. 45
degrees) to the subject instead of directly in front of or
directly behind the subject.
• Avoid an area where a wall is the main portion of the image.
• Avoid light sources positioned directly behind or directly in
front of your subject.
• Normally indoors lighting is diffused. Therefore, avoid bright
light sources in the image. A large variation in the lighting of
a scene (e.g. shaded hallway or bright entryway) can cause
improper exposure.
• Do not shoot directly into bright light or direct sunlight.
