The biggest obstacle when it comes to natural light photography is your inability to control the weather. Doing your research also means looking at specific times. Will it be sunny in the morning? Is the afternoon overcast? It may not mean that you need to postpone the shoot, but it will help you be prepared.<\/p>\n<h3>Play with Shadows<\/h3>\n<p>Using natural light doesn\u2019t just mean using it to light up your subject. Bright sunlight creates some amazing shadows to play around with, they may even become the subject of your photographs!\u00a0I don\u2019t just mean people\u2019s shadows either. How does the corner of a building reflect and hide from the sunlight? Use the lighting as a tool to create some beautiful compositions.<\/p>\n<h3>Know Your Timings<\/h3>\n<p>Along with weather, the time of day also affects the natural lighting you will get. Sunrise is warm and yellow. Midday is cooler, whiter light as the sun is higher in the sky. Then, in the evening you\u2019ll get<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-shoot-blue-hour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> blue hour<\/a>.When I\u2019m shooting products, I prefer to shoot before noon or when it\u2019s overcast so there\u2019s little to no shadow. If you want something a little moodier, the afternoon is better.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_90922\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90922\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-90922\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-4-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-90922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Ana Linares<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>When to Avoid Shadow<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve spoken about using shadow to your advantage, but you also need to know when to avoid it. When shooting products or portraits, you want to try and get rid of shadows unless they are part of the composition.\u00a0Think about the direction of the light. If it\u2019s hitting the side of a person\u2019s face, then their nose might cast a shadow. If it\u2019s above, their eyebrows might make their eye sockets darker.<\/p>\n<h3>Manipulate the Light<\/h3>\n<p>When using natural light, it\u2019s okay to manipulate it. Using reflectors can help get rid of unwanted shadows. It is also a helpful tool to use if the light direction is going where you want it to. It\u2019s one of the only ways to control natural lighting. Reflectors are usually light and pack up small, so it\u2019s easy to carry around.<\/p>\n<h3>Shoot Indoors<\/h3>\n<p>Some of my favourite shots with natural light have been shot indoors using light from huge windows. You can make your subject glow by placing them closer to the window, where the light can highlight the areas closest to the light. For something more dynamic, place them further away so the light creates more shadows.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_90923\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90923\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-90923\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-5-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-5-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-90923\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Ana Linares<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Sunrays and Flare<\/h3>\n<p>My favorite way to capture the magic of sunlight is to find spaces where sun rays filter through things like trees and clouds. This is a great way to make the sun your subject. Light can twinkle through leaves, or create a spotlight when it bursts through branches.\u00a0You can also shoot into the sun and embrace the flare it creates. Some photographers might cringe at this but, when done right, it can look magical.<\/p>\n<h3>Don\u2019t Forget the Moon<\/h3>\n<p>Although certain circumstances have to come together to shoot in the moonlight, it\u2019s still worth noting. A full moon and clear sky is the absolute ideal for a nighttime shoot. And if it\u2019s something you\u2019re passionate about, it\u2019s worth chasing! Think big and maybe try heading north to catch the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-photograph-the-northern-lights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Northern Lights<\/a> too. The sky is the limit.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_90924\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90924\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-90924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-7.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-7-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ana-linares-7-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-90924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Ana Linares<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Know Your Equipment<\/h3>\n<p>This makes it onto all of my lists. Where you cannot control the light, you can manage your camera settings. The two elements I recommend you get familiar with are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/white-balance-photography-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">white balance<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/exposure-triangle-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exposure<\/a>.\u00a0In the editing stages, these two things are difficult to correct if done wrong. The more you practice using them, the more instinctive it will become.<\/p>\n<h3>Edit, Edit, Edit<\/h3>\n<p>Another tip that always makes it to my list is editing. Post-production isn\u2019t cheating \u2014 it\u2019s necessary. If you\u2019ve done everything right to this point, it will be really easy.\u00a0If you are new to editing, there are a lot of presets you can buy for natural light photography. But, the more you play around with edits yourself, the more you will develop your signature style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natural light photography means you are using the ambient light available to you \u2014 usually from the sun or moon \u2014 without adding any artificial light yourself.
