Stealing Light – Using Street Lights for Portraits

Stealing Light – Using Street Lights for Portraits: "urn the street into your studio by using street lights for portraits.

Most people that I see taking photos after dark around the city have a flash mounted on the camera pointing at their subject. If shooting outdoors with nothing to bounce the flash off, the result usually is that rabbit out in front of headlights look, and flat lighting that rarely flatters your subject. As a professional wedding and portrait photographer, I will share with you my secrets of stealing available light when taking portraits around cities. No need for softboxes, beauty dishes, just put that flash away and start hunting for good light available in a city near you. It’s liberating carrying less gear and after a few light foraging trips, you will be well trained to find that tasty light!"

Landscape Photography and Nature (Infographic) - Business 2 Community

Landscape Photography and Nature (Infographic) - Business 2 Community: "Are you feeling stressed due to the daily chores? Spending time close to nature can be of great help. Nature helps the tired soul feel rejuvenated. The beauty of the scene remains captured in memory. However, this memory can fade with the passage of time. And this is why, it is important to capture the beautiful memories and frame them. This will help to make the time stand still for as long as you want, or at least for as long as the pictures remain intact. The pictures can be your ticket to the past, if you have already visited the place. However, if you haven’t, you can enjoy a virtual tour by enjoying the picture."
