Understanding Light for Better Portraits

1 min read

Good photographs come from calm, trust and good light. In this entry we look at light for portraits and a few ideas you can use before your own session.

Where to start

Start with what matters most to you: the people, the place and the feeling you want to remember. Everything else follows from that.

Consistent beats clever almost every time.

Give yourself time. Rushed days make rushed photographs, so build a little space into your schedule for quiet moments.

Then trust the process, forget the camera and enjoy the day.
