Lighting candlelight portraits<\/h2>\n<p>As with any light source, the positioning of your candles\u00a0 will affect how your subject is illuminated. A single candle, or two or three grouped tightly together and close to your subject, will produce stronger shadows than\u00a0 if they are spread out and further away from your sitter.<\/p>\n<p>While you might just want to have a single candle in the shot, there\u2019s no harm in having a few more out of frame burning away to really boost that warm glow.<\/p>\n<p>With the candles set up, the\u00a0 rest of the room should be left in total darkness. Switch off lights\u00a0 in adjoining rooms, too, as these may interfere with your shot.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>2. Bounce light<\/h2>\n<p>With minimal light levels, don\u2019t be afraid to bring out a reflector and try to reflect what little light you have at your disposal back onto your subject.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_115771&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1300px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115771\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/candle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle.jpg?resize=300,184 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle.jpg?resize=630,386 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle.jpg?resize=1240,760 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle.jpg?resize=900,551 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle.jpg?resize=562,344 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Via Pixabay<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>3. Lens choice<\/h2>\n<p>It goes without saying that you\u2019re going to be working in minimal light. While you can try shooting with a variable and slow maximum aperture zoom lens, life will be much easier if you reach for a fast prime.<\/p>\n<p>An affordable 35mm or 50mm f\/1.8 is perfect for this, as it will not only let you work at lower ISOs, but also your viewfinder will be that bit brighter. A fast telephoto zoom such as a 70-200mm f\/2.8 is also a good candidate, although its use will depend on the working distance in the room.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>4. Use a tripod<\/h2>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re pretty confident handholding in low-light conditions, it\u2019s worth popping your gear on a tripod to rule out the risk of camera shake. If you have one, a remote release is recommended, so when you fire the shutter you don\u2019t inadvertently nudge the camera.<\/p>\n<p><em>Continues below&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[collection name=&#8221;small&#8221;]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>5. Exposure for\u00a0candlelight portraits<\/h2>\n<p>Shooting in aperture priority, you\u2019ll ideally want to be close to or at your lens\u2019s maximum aperture. If you\u2019re using a prime, that should be around f\/1.8. With that done, you now need to dial in your ISO \u2013 a good starting point is around ISO 800. You want to aim for a shutter speed of 1\/60sec or faster. While you may have your camera firmly on a tripod, there\u2019s still the risk that your subject might move ever so slightly, so you\u2019ll want to use a shutter speed that\u2019s as fast as possible.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>6. White balance<\/h2>\n<p>If you shoot in auto white balance, your camera will try to neutralise the warm glow from the candlelight, removing all that atmospheric warmth you\u2019ve worked so hard to achieve. Instead, try setting your camera to tungsten\u00a0 to retain the original mood of the shot \u2013 working in raw will allow\u00a0 you to fine-tune this later in post-production.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_115770&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1300px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115770\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/candle-1750640_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle-1750640_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle-1750640_1280.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle-1750640_1280.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle-1750640_1280.jpg?resize=1240,826 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle-1750640_1280.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/candle-1750640_1280.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Via Pixabay<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>7. Metering<\/h2>\n<p>If there are candles in your shot, your camera may attempt to overexpose the scene. Review your image and, if it\u2019s too light, deliberately underexpose the shot with exposure compensation or swap to manual mode for complete control.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>8. Avoid draughts<\/h2>\n<p>When shoot a candlelight portrait, try to find somewhere in the house that isn\u2019t susceptible to draughts as they can easily make your candles\u00a0 flicker and ruin your shot.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_115773&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1300px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115773\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/personal-349256_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/personal-349256_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/personal-349256_1280.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/personal-349256_1280.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/personal-349256_1280.jpg?resize=1240,826 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/personal-349256_1280.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/personal-349256_1280.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Candlelight portraits can be taken in a variety of different venues.

Try firelight<\/h2>\n<p>Open fires offer fantastic opportunities if you have one in your house \u2013 alternatively, it\u2019s a good excuse to pop to your local pub, where one may be roaring away \u2013 with their warm light offering similar atmospheric shots.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>10.
