Does anyone have any advice for this, I’m doing a shoot for a musician and she wants to take shots in the woods?
I’ve never done portrait style photography outside before and wondering if anyone has any advice? My main concern is lighting, should I bring any? Does anyone have any recommendations for stuff that I can use with a remote power supply, and if so what power supplies do people recommend?
Any help is very welcome haha
Golden hour for sure! The biggest game changer in nature photography
If you can, make the subjects wear red clothes as it will contrasts really good with the green tones of the forest
-try to place the subjects in the middle of the trees so that the sunlight rays can get to their faces
Try to include the sunlight rays in your composition
take a vertical shoot from the floor with big angular lens so the trees look enormous
NB golden hour only works if you’re on the Western(ish) edge of the woods, and it’s a reasonably clear sky.
Otherwise by golden hour you just mean “a bit dark”
Presumably unless its morning golden hour and you’re in the Eastern edge of the woods.
In the middle of the day the light is very hard tho
