Natural Light Portraits: Made In The Shade - Digital Photography School

Natural Light Portraits: Made In The Shade - Digital Photography School: "One of the easiest ways to start shooting portraits is to use natural light.  There’s no added expense of buying speedlites or strobes, or even continuous lighting. You don’t have to decide where to put the lights, because let’s face it, nature has decided for you.  There are still challenges however, and those challenges must be overcome to successfully pull off a natural light portrait.  One of the biggest challenges is what to do when the natural light just is not pleasing.  Maybe it’s midday sun and the light is too harsh, or maybe it’s later in the day and direct sun is shining right in your subject’s eyes. In my post “Sun Too Harsh? Modify it!”, I discussed ways to use reflectors and scrims to modify natural light to get a more pleasing look."
