The candles can be in or out of the frame.
TIP
Your camera may have a tendency to focus on the
candle, as it??™s the brightest object in the scene. Have
the person you??™re photographing move the candle out
of the frame. Shine a flashlight on the subject and then
pre-focus the camera on your subject. After establishing
focus, have your subject reposition the lighted candle.
TIP
To add sparkling highlights to a subject??™s hair, have a
friend or relative hold a mirror, angling it so that it catches
the light and creates a highlight on your subject??™s head.
TIP
If the exposure is long enough, you can move a flashlight
back and forth across the side of your model??™s hair to
paint some light into the picture.
