How can I get started with natural light photography?
Begin by shooting outdoors during daylight hours. Try different times of day—especially golden hour and blue hour—to see how light changes your images.
What are the best settings for shooting in natural light?
Use a low ISO for bright daylight, wide aperture for shallow depth of field, and adjust white balance to match the light source (sunlight, shade, etc).
How do I avoid harsh shadows in sunlight?
Shoot during the golden hour, use natural reflectors like walls or sidewalks, or place your subject in open shade for softer, even light.
Can I use natural light indoors?
Absolutely! Use window light, doorways, or skylights. Position your subject close to the light source for best results.
