What is the most flattering lighting for portraits? Is there an unflattering lighting eg that makes wrinkles stand out more etc. Ive noticed sometimes I can take a shot that ages a person more than they look in real life. Also I noticed natural outdoor light is less likely to cause this problem. any Ideas for indoor photography lighting welcome:-)

Go to your local Police station, they do portraits all the time (tongue-in-cheek reply).

Bounce flash, not direct, and buy a "soft" filter. This will make the image look ethereal and ever so slightly fuzzy, but removes all the crows feet and lines. I assume you have an SLR since getting a decent portrait with a point-and-press is not going to be an easy task at all

Have you looked at the links on portrait lighting on the first post in the Flash Studio Forum?
