Despite using a smaller aperture, the depth of field and only a few millimeters, so during the composition must be as much as possible to keep the subject and the camera at right angles. In addition, use as far as possible concise background - behind the subject, the less easy to distract attention to subject factor, the better. According to the actual circumstances of the subject to decide whether to use flash, in some cases, the effect of flash back is very good, but in some cases with field to capture light effect will be better.
