Welcome to Natural Light Portrait Photography!

We'll begin by understanding how light works, its direction, quality, color and a potential B&W, and how to use it creatively to flatter your subject. Then we'll cover positioning, simple tools like reflectors, and how to adapt to different lighting conditions. Finally, we'll put it all into practice with live shooting exercises and tips on composition, expression, and storytelling.
This session is perfect for beginners and enthusiasts who want to elevate their portraits using natural, available light. Let's get started and learn how to see light in a whole new way!
