The reference recommends working near a window and using one chosen light source rather than mixing it with overhead lights. Watch the shadows and brightness as daylight changes, and use diffusion when direct sunlight becomes harsh.

Keep the setup simple while comparing shots, so you can see what the light is doing rather than changing the background and camera position at the same time.
