But if you want to include a nice background, like a landmark or scenery, you will want to keep your cropping loose. However, for the most part, your photos will look better when you stay close to your subject.

Also, you may even try moving the subject to a different level, like up in a tree or lying on the floor.

Available light wraps around a face and doesn’t look blasted or washed out like a flash can sometimes.
