Albert Einstein is famous for the above quote, and while he obviously wasn’t referring to taking pictures, his thinking can, and arguably should be applied to professional photography. High end portrait shoots become complex very quickly when you start using more than one light source, so we’ve broken down the artform with our practical and pro guide to outdoor portraits.
My reasoning for shooting people in natural light has always been about the aesthetic you can capture, and the simplicity it allows, rather than the more honest truth that I’m not that comfortable in a studio. Even so, by learning how to blend natural light and flash outdoors, you can capture some stunning shots. In the portraits feature (p22), discover essential advice for kit, colour themes and temperature and how to work with your environment.
If you’re happiest when shooting outside but more interested in capturing landscapes, you’ll enjoy our landscape editing masterclass on p36. Pro processor James Abbott shares his step-by-step techniques for multiple exposure scenics, including focus stacking, HDR and panoramas. Take your shots to another level of detail and sharpness while keeping a natural look.
Elsewhere, glean pro steps for becoming a motorsports photographer (p14), uncover the props and accessories that might help your career (p70) and learn how to use social media to boost your business and turn followers into customers (p64).
We’ve got a bumper gear section this month! Start your review journey with the best travel tripods (p92),go hands-on with the Fujifilm GFX100S (p100), then take off with DJI’s Air 2S (p104).
