18. TIPS FOR NATURAL LIGHT A portrait at noon is very harsh lighting. Try sunrise or sunset. When indoors use available light from all sources (windows, doors, cracks) If your subject is outdoors, an overcast day is best. If the day is sunny, make sure to use a reflector or electronic flash to fill in shadows underneath the eyes

When indoors use the reflection of the main light source Gold – creates warm tones and makes your subject’s skin appear a bit more tanned or golden (warm) Silver – Neutral in color although brighter than white and skin appears cooler White - Neutral color effect. Gathers the existing light and softly fills in shadows to light your subject
