[QUOTE="wendy84, post: 315889, member: 25000"] Hi, I don't really know anything about portrait photography - I did plan to learn about it in the future as I would like to get into it but here's why I need some help now: I currently volunteer in a Roma centre in Slovakia, I work with the kids there. Tomorrow they're having a day for the children and their mums. They asked me to take photos during the day and also to do some portraits. They don't expect professional shots, but I do want to hand them some nice photos, maybe even get them printed out and hand them to the families. They're very poor so won't be able to pay for them but it would be nice for them to have a picture of themselves with their kid(s). I currently only have 2 lenses, not the best ones for portrait but advice on which one to use would be great, any others tips would be very helpful as well. I have a Nikon D5300 + a AF-S Nikkor 18-105mm and a Tamron 70-300 vc/usd lens. The pictures will be taken inside the centre - it can be a bit dark, this depends on the sunlight. Outside unfortunately won't be possible as then the whole village wants their picture taken (this happened last time haha). There won't be anything professional at this shoot - just me, my camera and an old wall but any tips to make the photos nice would be awesome. Thanks so much in advance!!
