Dale and Dior pose for the camera under ambient light
I have said this so many times, but I will repeat it again. To take pictures of friends that are willing to let you go crazy is so much fun.
This past week, our friends in San Francisco, Dale and Dior, let me take a few portraits of them. We had fun! Below is the prove.
The nice thing about this photo shoot is that I did not use a single flash or any other kind of manipulated light. We basically walked around their beautiful new home and the beach and I used the camera to capture the ambient light in a way that worked for the portraits.
This is a reminder that knowing your equipment and understanding how it captures light is the key to take good photos, no matter what the conditions are. If light is there, then you can take a photo, and sometimes is just a matter of playing with your exposure compensation as you explore around your subject. Exploration! remember that! you are an adventurer that finds light and uses it to your advantage!
Enjoy the photos! and let me know your thoughts! 😉
