Tips

Make sure there is enough light. More light equals better details.

Use a desk lamp to enhance overhead lighting. The extra light helps to lessen shadows and smooth skin tones. A strong light coming from overhead casts shadows, which can be unflattering or distracting.

Avoid sitting in front of a bright window. A strong light coming from behind can cause your video image to appear as a shadow or with glowing edges
