Go behind the scenes as I shoot professional natural light portraits using the Nikon Z8 and two lenses β no flash, no reflectors, just available light.
In this portrait photography tutorial, I share 3 key natural light tips, including how to use shadows for contrast and how to use bounce light from walls and the ground for clean, flattering results. If you want better portraits without expensive lighting gear, this video is for you.

Natural light or flash β which do you prefer for portraits?
Nicely done. I love natural light, but I am team flash. You get that extra pop!
Awesome stuff.
Great tips, thanks!
