No Flash Necessary

So far, I have been shooting on location. A cloudy day, with the use of a reflector, creates the best effect. This is second indoor photo I've considered for public display, the first was the photo of my sister.

Normally indoor lighting comes from several different sources: sunlight, overhead light, lamps, and computer monitors. When more than one light source is used, the difference in color and intensity can add unfavorable hues to the final product.

There are ways to correct it, including using only one light source, or aiming the light sources toward the ceiling or a wall to help diffuse intensity. If using a flash, aim it toward the ceiling to even out the subject's exposure to light.  There are also more advanced options I can explain and show examples of later.
