Portrait

Another model image taken in Natural light. The wastage ratio is very high compared to the more controlled environment of a studio because of the very variable lighting.

Cloud acts like a soft box

Cloud helps soften the light and allows for a more gentle and ambient feel to the image. You do not need bright clear days for natural light images!

What are you thought about this image, please comment below.

This photograph was taken of the model in an outdoor location shoot. The conditions were interesting and challenging for my-self and the model, who worked very hard in cool conditions!

Due to the cloud the light levels were changing very quivkly, throwing camera settings out every 2 mins or so. I have adjusted the sky to make it slighty grainy to bring the model into the fore ground making her stand out of the page.

Your thought?

Taken using natural light only comming through a window. Using a large apature and focusing on the eye to soften the image combined with black and white shows the focused area offine skin and hair detail really clearly around the eye.

Click on the image to enlarge. This was taken near my home, I went out with my lads for a few hours just watching them play in an attempt to capture the “natural look”. It took them a while to forget about me being there, but once they had I was able to get some great photographs. This one with the greyed out background really makes the subject of the image pop out from the background. What do you think???

Taken indoors late evening with long shadows being cast. The subject of this photograph has been de-saturated of color to create this subtle effect.
