Outdoor portraits can offer a sense a drama or romance that can be hard to achieve in a studio setting. The early morning or evening sky can serve as a stunning backdrop for a portrait. The trick is in lighting your subject properly.
This lesson shows how to use just a couple of lighting fixtures to achieve great outdoor portraits.
We set up a Photoflex StarFlash 1000 Mercury 5′ OctoDome Kit for our main light.
It is important to use a light source that is large enough to cover your subject. Here the 5 foot OctoDome3 is perfect for giving us adequate light coverage for our model.
