"As to the actual work under a skyliglit, only a few general hints may be given, as here each must 'work out her own salvation,' " writes Francés Benjamin Johnston in an article, "What a Woman Can Do With a Camera," In the Ladies' Home Journal. "Do not attempt to pose people.or to strain your sitters into uncomfortable or awkward poitions, in order to obtain picturesque effects. Watch Uiem, and help them into poses that aro natural and graceful. Study their individuallty, striving to keep the likenefs, and yet endeavoring to show them at their best. Avoid cmphasizing the pecuüaritles of a face either by lighting or pose; look for curves rat-her than angles or straight Unes, and try to make the interost in the picture center upon what is most effective in your sitter. The one rule of lighting is never to have more than a single source of light. Many portraits, oi'n?i".vise good, are rendcrsd very incrJstic by being lighted from several ü:iïcrciit directions."
