Q. When shooting a portrait, is it more important to pay attention to the light or the shadows on your subject?
A. Whether it's a set up you create or the ambient one you've found, lighting—and shadows—can lend mood and presence to your subject, while drawing attention to (or deflecting it from) specific physical traits. The right light can make heavy people appear thinner, and carefully placed shadows can help conceal any number of perceived flaws that your subject may feel uncomfortable about. Simply put, both are important.
