Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd6K1QNhvmzHvQqp5AUjf5a1HgeZgKdXUBdyqLKKtQEs7mg4Q/viewform?usp=sf_link">Post-Processing Listener Survey</a> <br> <br> <br> <br> Let’s get to our main topic. That is Outdoor portraits. As you all know I’m big in to the travel/outdoor genres of photography. Sometimes this involves photos of people in the various places I go. But I also like to dabble in the occasional portrait and I’ve been thinking of this show topic for a while and figured it’s time to make it happen.<br> <br> <br> <br> About this time every year we take a family portrait. But this year we want to not do it in the studio, we want to go outdoors. <br> <br> <br> <br> So I wanted to bring my friend, Levi Sim, on as he does a lot of portraits. You might consider these environmental portraits, at least some of them will be considered that. So Levi, let’s go through these different scenarios and I want you to assume I know nothing about this subject. Because, in some cases, I absolutely don’t. I’m not a portrait pro like yourself, though I have done my share of weddings and other group shots. So let’s dive as deep as we can into these subjects.<br> <br> <br> <br> Also, we will assume the we are looking to use at least one light in all shots.<br> <br> <br> <br> 1: Basic Headshot outdoors, one light<br> <br> <br> <br> What should we look for when setting up a basic head and shoulders headshot outdoors. And what type of light do you typically use?<br> <br> <br> <br> 5 in 1 reflector diffuser: <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/820984-REG/Westcott_306_5_in.html">https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/820984-REG/Westcott_306_5_in.html</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1175594-REG/phottix_ph86538_collapsible_diffuser_white_59.html">https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1175594-REG/phottix_ph86538_collapsible_diffuser_white_59.html</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1274713-REG/impact_r2542_51_42_5_in_1_collapsible_circular.html">https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1274713-REG/impact_r2542_51_42_5_in_1_collapsible_circular.html</a><br> <br> <br> <br> 2: One light, ¾ or full body portrait, one person<br> <br> <br> <br> I’m thinking your typical senior photo here. Maybe they’re out in a field, football field, corn field, whatever. How do we position the light to get the best results?<br> <br> <br> <br> 3: Environmental Portrait<br> <br> <br> <br> Is there a difference from what we just talked about and this idea of an “environmental portrait?” I kind of think there is, but maybe I’m crazy. Your thoughts…<br> <br> <br> <br> 4: Family Photos outdoors; one or two lights?<br> <br> <br> <br> What do we need to think about as we add in more people. I have four children for example. That presents a challenge. How do we arrange them outdoors for an effective photograph?<br> <br> <br> <br> 5: Family Photos outdoors: no lights.<br> <br> <br> <br> What do you change or consider differently when not using lights with outdoor portraits, specifically with family shots.<br> <br> <br> <br> 6: Portraits in the snow<br> <br> <br> <br> What if we wanted to photograph people in the snow. And still using a flash. What advice do you have for us to keep the colors looking good and the highlights not blowing out and the shadows not filling in?<br> <br> <br> <br> 7: Listener submitted questions<br> <br> <br> <br> * Miguel Flores: Best metering mode when subjects are backlit?* <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JamieJaneClark">Jamie Jane</a> How do you make people you just met feel more comfortable and relax for a shoot?
