Free photography tip: Use one window as your light source (step 7 of 14 from "Phone Photography That Looks Intentional").
Place your subject next to a window with no direct sun blasting through. The window becomes a large, soft light source. The closer to the window, the more dramatic the light-to-shadow ratio. Pull the subject back from the window for more even illumination.
Turn off all overhead lights. Mixed light sources create color casts that confuse both the camera and the viewer. One source, one direction, clean result.
