96 <strong>Digital</strong> <strong>Boudoir</strong> <strong>Pho<strong>to</strong>graphy</strong><br />
Natural Light When using natural light, there are often more extremes in the<br />
lighting. Notice the blown out (<strong>to</strong>o bright) highlights on the left side of the pho<strong>to</strong>graph.<br />
Using Natural Light Outdoors<br />
Natural light is all around us. Pho<strong>to</strong>graphing in natural light is, well, natural. You<br />
need the least amount of equipment, such as lights, flashes, and so on. However, it is<br />
still not always easy <strong>to</strong> get pleasing results unless you pay attention <strong>to</strong> what the lighting<br />
is doing <strong>to</strong> your model. Oftentimes, if the light is coming from the side or back,<br />
you need <strong>to</strong> be aware of how the eyes look. If there is no large white object behind you<br />
<strong>to</strong> reflect light in<strong>to</strong> the eyes or if you are not using a flash fill, the eyes will appear<br />
“dead.” They will be very dark and missing the catch light in the pupil. Catch lights<br />
give the eyes dimension.<br />
Flash Fill This is the same setup as the previous figure, but a flash fill was used<br />
in addition <strong>to</strong> the natural light. The background goes darker and the flash flattens<br />
the light on her face.
