I thought I'd share these pics I took of my boys whilst on the train to London recently - they're candid shots completely unposed (although thankfully I did happen to have a camera in my hand at the time!).
They demonstrate the great natural light you can get from people near windows without any flash or special lighting set up. Think of windows as giant soft boxes, which normally give a nice even light source (so long as direct sun isn't shining through!). Roughly speaking, the more a person faces the window the more even the light across the face and the more they are side on to the window, the greater shadow you'll get on one side. Although you clearly can't adjust the brightness of a window, moving the subject gradually away will have the same effect - the further away from the window, the softer the light will become.
