Natural light can be a beautiful and cost-effective way to enhance your photography. Here are some tips for using natural light in your photography:

  • Golden Hour: Take advantage of the hour after sunrise and before sunset, when the light is soft and warm.
  • Backlighting: Position your subject so that the light source is behind them to create a halo or rim of light around them.
  • Window Light: Use the soft, diffused light that comes through a window to create a natural and flattering light source for portraits or still lifes.
  • Reflectors: Use a white or silver reflector to bounce light back onto your subject and fill in any harsh shadows.
  • Shadows: Use the shadows created by natural light to add depth and dimension to your photos.
