The correct use of natural lighting can take a snapshot and turn it into a keepsake portrait. Knowing how to avoid unflattering shadows, make your subject's eyes sparkle, and understanding the different types of natural light, as well as how to use reflectors and diffusers are just a few of the topics covered in this introduction to natural lighting.
