Are you still talking about natural light indoors? I have yet to take any kind of decent photo with indoor lights - of course I dont own any real lighting equipment.

Someone - and I think it was Michele - on another post drew what she said was a good setup for natural light (indoors) for an older person. I will have to find that - I remember it was my friend Bridget's reference photo she was commenting on - I will go look. I haven't done too many older folks - I need to learn how so it becomes more instinctive for me. Those pretty young things are easy to photograph!

Photographing by window light is very easy.

Here's the standard formula: For people of this age you want the light to fall fairly frontally on their faces with the typical ratio of three-quarters of their face in the light and one quarter in shadow. So, set your tripod up with the window behind you, but not directly behind. You want the light to come over your left shoulder. Set the people up in front of you and fire off a hundred or so shots. That ought to do it.
