PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS FOR YOU:
Lighting can often be a challenge in the varying conditions environmental portraiture will inevitably take you. But you don’t necessarily need to use expensive lighting gear to get great shots. In most scenes there will be pockets of light that are ideal for portraiture. If shooting indoors, window light is ideal. Position your subject side-on to a large window for simple, flattering light (and turn off any tungsten or artificial strip lighting that may interfere with your white balance).
