Natural Light Portraits / 自然光ポートレート

Natural Light Portraits

Hey, I guess the image that I have for using strobes and artificial lighting on my photographs is quite strong, and I think it’s normal, but to be honest quite often I do rely on Natural Light to shoot portraits! Yeah, I do love using flashes to shape the light the way I want it when it’s not very interesting, and I might add strobes even to some really nice natural light scene to enhance it a bit more! But I do shoot only with natural light as well sometimes! So here are some examples of my photography taken only using natural light – yeah believe it or not, no strobes used in any of these photographs! How about you guys, do you rely more on Natural light or strobes? Any comments are welcome! I’m not including silhouette photos here for them check my Silhouette Photography gallery!




自然光 ポートレート

たぶん私がストロボを使ってるイメージが強すぎて、自然光でも撮影してると言ったら信じられないかもしれないけど、実は自然光オンリーの場合もたくさんありますよ!まぁ、そのイメージは自分で作ってるし、確かにストロボで好きな風に撮影してるシーンをコントロールできるのが嬉しいですが、まったくストロボ使わない場合もあるので、このギャラリーを作りました!もちろん、自然光を読むことがすごく大事なので、皆さんにもストロボを使う前にそれをうまくできるようにして欲しいとはいつも言ってる私なんですが、実はね・・・ 私がいきなりストロボを使ってポートレートを撮り始めました!しばらくストロボのみで撮影していたら、自然光のよさを知りました!今はもし自然光で撮影できたら撮るかもしれないけど、ほとんどの場合はそれだけでは満足しないので、結局どこかにストロボを入れます!何でかというと、もちろん自然光でも十分綺麗に撮れると思いますが、ストロボを使うとさらに「自由」になります!コメントも大歓迎です!またこの記事の新しい写真も撮ったら追加するので、ぜひまたご覧ください!ここにはシルエットは入れてないので、シルエット写真の記事もぜひご覧くださいね!

In the end

Now, I am preparing a series of new articles on some general topics, let me know which one of them you want to see first, so I get it ready earlier! Also other ideas are welcome too! Here are some of them: Portraits at night / Lens article (I guess 135/2) / Portraits in the rain / Use of gels / Using backlight / One light setups / Shoots with just one umbrella / General shooting portraits / Can cheap lenses make good photos / Swing the camera shots / Using snoots / Shaped bokeh / … or any other idea welcome, post it in the comments, and I will see if I am able to write about it! Also stay tuned for my new blog section starting soon called “Strobist Diary” There I will talk about many of my off-camera flash techniques from basic things to some advanced stuff!
