Indoor Lighting Photography
Taking indoor pictures can be extremely tricky even for the most experienced photographers because of a number of factors, including insufficient outside light, not enough windows and the results from the use of unnatural light that totally transform the appearance of images. However, here are some tips that you can use:
Be aware of the light you have available. Light coming from the sides can make a great artistic effect, but using a flash can help you control the shadows it may produce. And light coming from the back can cause the appearance of a glow around the subject that can also be smoothed by the flash in the camera.
Take advantage of the sunlight as much as you possibly can. Since it's the most powerful light you could use. But it would be a good idea to use a tripod mount since the shutter slows down to make a clear image

When it comes to great photography, lighting is probably the most important factor, outside of your camera and lens. To get good lighting, professionals spends thousands of dollar just to provide the best environment for their models and subjects. Here is how you too can get good lighting without spending the big money on expensive gear.
Without a doubt, the easiest way to get great lighting, is to shoot your subject inside next to a window. Cover the window with a fabric that will diffuse the light. A thin bed sheet against a sunny window will provide the similar effects of a soft box. Have your subjects face into the window and into the light source, since this will provide a more flattering shadow effect. Facing away from the light source will mean a less flattering look, and cause their face to look wider and more distorted. If the window is not covered, you can still get a great shot, but having the subject look directly into the light. However, as this will cause it be to difficult for them to open their eyes, get them to look down or away from the direct sun, while still keeping their face pointing towards the light.
