Pictures of Senior Citizens
These pictures of senior citizens were chosen for three reasons.
They all have natural lighting.
They are all close up portraits.
All of these photos of old people show unique and genuine emotions.
Using the existing natural light when it's available is always the best lighting technique to use.
Sometimes moving your subject closer to a natural light source is a simple task.
There are other times when you will have to create the the look of natural light by thinking creatively.
This can be done using an external flash aimed sideways at a nearby wall or bounced off of a ceiling.
Senior citizens will feel more relaxed when there is no distraction from an artificial photo studio lighting.
