Project: Belly Dancer

The Belly Dancer in these photos is Krista Kubie.

We did a simple photo session in her apartment by her sliding glass door.

Each image was photographed with natural light using a Canon DSLR.

50mm lens, ISO 200, F-1.8, and shutter speed no lower than 1/60.

Tip: to photograph inside with natural light the easiest thing to do is to set your camera for the F-stop wanted and then adjust the shutter speed as needed. NOTE: if you go below 1/60 sec. there is a great possibility of camera shake so you might need a tripod and a steady subject.

If you are wanting to photograph your subject in front of a window,

make sure you are exposing for the subject and not the window!

The light from the window will appear overexposed giving off a "white glow".
