Here is another video by Karl Tayor where he explain about shooting People Portraits in Natural Light.
There are great tips in this video but I liked this one : "Its a complete Myth that Sun should be kept behind the Photographer so that Subject/Model is well Lit" : If you have the same myth in mind, watch out the video and you will be amazed by final results by Karl...
In this video, he is going to shoot a Model during Sunset behind her.
Karl has given 5 Tips about Natural Light Portraiture:
1. Communication with Model : Its always a good idea to regularly communicate with the Model to make her/him comfortable with overall setup of Photo-Shoot. This is very important for good finals...
2. Choice of Lens : Karl is using 85mm Lens on Full Frame Camera and describes this in detail... So watch the video below...
3. Choice of Aperture : Large Aperture is good for People Portraits. Karl is using 1.2 Lens but recommends Aperture between 1.8 to 2.8.
4. Lighting : First he started with the Photography Myth mentioned above and placed his Model in front of Sunset. Karl want to shoot into the SUN.This will give a nice backlit onto the Hair. Because light will be very less on face, Fill in light with standard silver reflector will help in this case, but need to make sure that its not too harsh...
5. Environment...Location, soft background with shalow Depth of Field...
Watch out the video to know more from Karl about Natural Light Portraiture...
