I’ve fallen deeply in love with environmental portraiture and have taken on the challenge that it presents. You can’t always rely on natural lighting, sometimes you need to augment, but how? And with what? Speedlight? Strobe? Reflector? I used to look for background first and then try to figure out the lighting. Now I look for lighting first and it’s made all the difference in my portraits.
