https://www.behindtheshutter.com/lighting-foundations-for-better-portraits/ The lighting issue of Shutter Magazine is always one of my favorites. Photographers who understand light use it as a paintbrush to create a beautiful piece of art for their clients. Photographers tend to overcomplicate things, which can make the use of artificial light intimidating to some. This month, I talk about techniques that are not commonly used by wedding and portrait photographers who do most of their work outside the studio. I also get into the intricate details of light that can impact a portrait for better or worse. There are many more photographers who understand light than just five years ago. Companies like Profoto and MagMod have provided amazing products and inspirational online communities that have popularized the “strobist” look.
