Professional Secrets of Natural Light Portrait Photography
Product Description
Natural light portraiture is fast becoming a popular style of photography. Photographers and clients appreciate the understated, low-maintenance shoots and the spontaneous, casual quality of the photos. Featuring images shot on location, in clients’ homes, and in the studio, the author teaches how to use the unique qualities of direct sun, window light, porch light, shade, and the light at sunrise and sunset to create flattering, natural-looking portraits. Photographers will learn how to select the right setting, equipment, backdrop, and props, as well as how to control the balance of light between subject and background. Each sample portrait is accompanied by detailed technical information to help photographers achieve the same results in their own work.

I found some of the technique in this book helpful, but it’s redundant. The pictures in the book are not of high quality print and are dated. Overall, I was not satisfied with this book.

This is THE definitive book to own if you want are starting out in photography. Here you lear the basic lighting to look for as well as image diagrams and technicle stuff that you need! Doug Allen Box has killed the subject. I think that God himself would probably be the only one who can write a better natural light book.

If you’re looking for examples of different portraits in outdoor settings this will give you a few examples. There isn’t any flow to the book, basically just a bunch of portraits and the photographer explaining how they setup the photo .. after the 5th example it gets very repetative.

Very well written, lots of great examples and plenty of info on various conditions you would be faced with light-wise. A great boost of inspiration when your posing and locations tend to become stale.
