Improve Your Outdoor Portraits

Published by:  Shutterbug
Tutorial Preview:

I love shooting outdoor portraits! As a matter of fact, it has become my “signature style.” During my busy season, I may take over 400 outdoor exposures in a single day, so I’d better be able to do it well and do it fast. An element of my style is that I don’t use flash. Many photographers do, and they do it very well, but that won’t be covered in this article. I’m going to give you a few insider tips that will make an immediate and dramatic impact on your outdoor portrait results. And remember, these tips are going to help you achieve great results, but rules are always made to be broken—once you understand them.
