The Natural Portrait ebook is written for everybody who wants to learn how to create beautiful portraits in natural light.
There are lots of questions that photographers have when starting out in portrait photography. Where do you find models? What lenses do you use? What camera settings do you need to use? What about model release forms? How do you coax great poses from your models?
The Natural Portrait addresses these questions by breaking down the process of creating amazing portraits into easy steps. You will learn how to find a model, where to get inspiration for great portrait concepts, how to handle a shoot from start to finish, including posing, and how to develop your portraits in Lightroom Classic, ON1 Photo Raw or Alien Skin Exposure.
The aim of The Natural Portrait is to teach you to create beautiful portraits using little more than natural light and the camera and lenses that you own already. Discover how to capture character as well as beauty and make portraits that capture your model’s soul.
“Natural light portraiture is about your mindset as well as technique. It’s photography stripped down to its simplest elements: you, a camera, a lens, ambient light and a model. Nothing complicated, yet these elements can combine to create some of the most stunning, evocative and beautiful portraits you could possibly imagine.”
