I recently saw some of Nick Onken’s images and was confused at how he managed to get such perfect lighting inside a car when taking pictures of the passengers? Check out this link to see how! I feel so much better for knowing….
It is encouraging, it proves what can be done with some simple light diffusion. On a sunny day a white bed sheet stretched out above and beside the subject to harness blazing sunlight could work wonders, Nick’s shoot is on a far bigger scale but it’s the same idea. It’s easy to point to strobes as the solution but diffused natural light is also a great option for portraits on location. Metal cutters can also help if shooting in a car!

Great video about how believing in yourself as a photographer can make all the difference.

Hey Team
We’re back from a two-week trip to South Africa. Whilst there, we met some of the Hillsong Cape Town crew. They are a fantastic bunch and it was awesome to share in some of the excitement happening in Cape Town.
Coming back to London, it quickly became evident that winter is just about here. Traditionally, photographers use winter to relax, update their portfolios and plan new shoots for following summer. For me, winter is my favourite time for photography. Here are some reasons to keep shooting this winter:
- The sun is generally low on the horizon, make the light for more pleasing.
- Trees and bushes shed their leaves, making simple, graphic compositions much easier to find.
- Christmas and winter light adds a bit of magic into the air, helping to inspire photographers and models alike.
- The light is generally soft, making it easy to work with natural and artificial lighting.
So please, get out and shoot and fill the flickr pool with some inspirational winter pictures.
