The right lighting

Hello Hivernauts

Have you ever wondered how outdoor portrait photographers manage to capture stunning images with precise details and perfect lighting? The answer is simple: the right lighting.

Lighting is playing with light and shadow, it is adding life and contrast to photography. The speedlite flash is a small but powerful lighting device that mounts on the camera and allows you to manage and shape the light as you wish.

The direction of light is another important concept to know in order to create stunning outdoor portraits. Front light is the most common and creates soft, even lighting. However, side light and back light can also be effective in creating portraits with a dramatic effect.

The intensity of the light can be controlled by adjusting the flash power and the aperture of the camera. Stronger light will create brighter, more contrasty lighting, while softer light will create softer, more even illumination.

I can safely tell you that this is just the beginning, this and more awaits you if you decide to take your journey through the art of outdoor portrait lighting. I promise you, by the end of this journey, you will have unlocked the incredible power of detail, light and shadow and your photos will never be the same.
