Learn more: https://bit.ly/3eeR1WM Creating portraits on location can be a great way to have both flattering light and beautiful surroundings to complement your subject. The place you and your client choose can help tell a story that says something about what is important to them. All of this sounds wonderful, but there's a problem here as well. Many times, the light and cast shadows are not particularly flattering on your subject. Sometimes the problems are obvious and sometimes they are subtle, but to create a quality portrait, these are issues that have to be dealt with. In this session, we'll explore a few common lighting situations that can occur when shooting outside, and we'll offer you some easy-to-follow solutions that can help you solve these challenges. We'll explore ways to overcome problem lighting with tools that are simple and effective, and we'll use a handheld light meter to provide us with all the information we need to control and shape the light in beautiful environmental portraits.
