Artificially light your subject naturally

Some of my favorite portraits use light sources other than outdoor lighting or flash. There are many other natural light sources that you can use to get a dramatic mood, such as a person holding a candle near their face, or being lit by the light that comes off a computer screen in the dark, etc. This type of lighting sets a mood that can t be recreated any other way.
