Basic Natural Light Portraits: Techniques to improve your phone or camera portraits.

Using natural light to photograph portraits can be a wonderful thing, whether you are shooting with a phone, compact camera or an SLR.

Your camera’s light meter will usually do a great job of recording the brightness of the image and, because you are recording the available light, what you see is pretty much what you will get.

• During the daytime natural light is everywhere.
• It means that we don’t need to bring any extra lighting gear.
• When we look at a natural light portrait, our brain is happy because the light looks “natural”.
• In this class I will show you how to lift your natural light portraits to a much higher level.
• You will learn how to recognise, control and manipulate the natural light to get beautiful images.
• I will be covering both indoor and outdoor situations and you will see me shooting portraits in both these locations.
