The beauty of window light

04th July 2021


This photo shows what can be achieved with nothing more than a window and a white background. It was a bright, sunny day and I put Amanda in front of a sheet of white paper. If you look very closely you can see the window reflections in her eyes. It's quite a big window and the light was pouring in so I hung a shower curtain in front to make the light softer, adjusted my camera to f/5.6 to create some nice fall off on her right shoulder and started shooting. Amanda's best features are her eyes so I spent a little bit of time in post making them sparkle and shine and I think and hope that she was pleased with the result. I was happy and it was all done in my living room which just goes to show what can be done with very limited resources.
