Natural light is one of the most powerful tools in portrait photography, and one of the hardest to control. Samuel Sarfati breaks down how he approaches it: how he scouts locations for the quality and direction of light, how he shapes available light using diffusers, reflectors, and negative fill, and how he builds compelling images without artificial lighting. Shot entirely on the Canon EOS R5 Mark II with the RF 28-70mm F2L USM, this is a practical look at how a lightweight, intentional setup can produce editorial-level results.
Part of Canon’s Art of Natural Light challenge, this tutorial covers the core techniques behind natural light portrait photography, applicable on your next shoot whether you’re working in a city or on location.
