photography does not make for good portrait lighting. Natural
light (outdoors is best) or good incandescent lighting makes for
the most flattering exposure on your subject.

GETTING STARTED
Portraits are created from your photographs. So, the better the photograph that you provide, the better your finished portrait will be! In most cases, backgrounds can be simplified or changed out to a color that you request. However, the pose or angle and lighting on your subject will be the same as the photo that you submit.
Go!
