Ask yourself good questions about lighting
Where does the light come from?
How does it hit my subject?
How will that look on Camera?
Basic Lighting
Main light - Key Light
Above and in front of you but off to the side of the camera leaving a dark shadowed side to the face.
Fill Light
Comes from the other side to fill in the shadows, but isn't as bright as the keylight.
Back Light
Creates a rim of light that separates you from the background
Consider the light at your location, and position yourself for the best result
Use cloudy days for the best light, or work early in the morning or late at night to get pretty light
Framing
Frame your shots wide to set your scene, medium to draw in your viewer, or close up to show detail
Composition
Compose your shots using the rule of thirds, or by dividing your shot into vertical and horizontal thirds
Use open space in the direction your subject is looking.
