Existing light
While creating indoor photographs, it might be alluring to have someone in brightest location so that you get good lighting, but this method is always not considered as the best method.
Side lighting can give artistic images, for a good photograph you can use flash to balance the shadow on the subject or face. Also backlighting is good method to use the existing light to provide a subject an attractive glow that can later be altered by using flash fill technique. During this, flash would over light the scene, while removing entirely the background and lighting the portion of the subject. Here are the chances that you will get the red eye or bad results. Also it can lead the flash to get recorded in a window glass or eye glasses, which would ruin the image completely.
Always use indirect sources of light
If there is any sunlight getting into that area, than you can use it to give better lighting to a subject, as sun light is brighter than any other household lights. One thing you must understand while using the light from the window that most of the cameras slow down shutter speed to click the clear image.
Use the tripod
As we have just discussed that indoor photography slow down the shutter speed, so it is a superb idea to use tripod for your indoor photography. In this manner the photo would remain in focus. You can also use the self timer settings, so that shaking can be prevented.
Artificial lighting
If a flash is used, it is important that you understand the effects on the photo. For instance, if the group is at the distances from your camera, than its quite unlikely that flash would balance lighting, therefore people in a background would be in the shadow, and people in foreground would be overexposed. For these kind of scenes it is good that you use both natural and flash lighting. Also it is important that you use the special techniques of flash to avoid the red eye.
The photographer must attempt to turn on the every lighting fixture in the area so that the effects of flash on the subjects can be reduced.
