Taking indoor pictures can be extremely tricky even for the most experienced photographers because of a number of factors, including insufficient outside light, not enough windows and the results from the use of unnatural light that totally transform the appearance of images. However, here are some tips that you can use:
Be aware of the light you have available. Light coming from the sides can make a great artistic effect, but using a flash can help you control the shadows it may produce. And light coming from the back can cause the appearance of a glow around the subject that can also be smoothed by the flash in the camera.
Take advantage of the sunlight as much as you possibly can. Since it's the most powerful light you could use. But it would be a good idea to use a tripod mount since the shutter slows down to make a clear image.
A tripod could be your best friend. When the shutter's speed slows down because the camera is used indoors, the image can come out blurry. The use of a tripod will eliminate this problem. Also, setting the timer shorter is a good way to avoid any blur when the shutter is totally depressed.
You should use your camera flash and light coming from outside to prevent shadows in subjects that are far from the camera, since the flash in the camera may not be able to reach them.
Remember to change the setting in your camera to avoid the terrible "red eye" effect. If for some reason it is not possible, it would be great if you had all the lights on in the surrounding area to help decrease the power of the flash on the eyes of people that are being photographed.
