A very easy and effective way to create more mystery in your portraits is to photograph your models utilizing window light shining through curtains. The light should be in the evening when the sun is low and warm, and you, the photographer, should be inside the house, somewhere between the window and the model. The position of the model in relation to the window with curtains will determine how much curtain fabric detail shows up on his or her face. Experiment with different locations for the model, but realize that the sun sets quickly! In order to get rid of distracting backgrounds, place a black sheet or bristol board behind the model. For faces, try to use a zoom lens in the 100mm range, which is usually the most flattering lens focal length.
