[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 266874, member: 3903"] Since you're stuck with an 8' ceiling, the other thing you can do is lower the chair of bench you're sitting on. The other thing I think you could improve is the posture. Try to be leaning towards the camera. In studios I've worked in, we used an adjustable elbow support so the person could actually lean against. I'm sure you can find something in the house to just fill that need. So just try to lean forward a bit with the shoulders turned towards the light source. Hopefully you'd find it gives a little more dynamics to a portrait. [/QUOTE]
