Natural Lighting

Peter Coulson’s Photography MasterClass
Kuokei Photography Studios, Australia

Gear: Nikon D780 w/ 85mm

Peter showed us how to work with only natural lighting during this session. We watched him turn his studio into a series of challenges. Tall boards and small structures setup in various ways all over his studio, forcing us to think outside of the box.

There was one more technique to polish the picture. He brought out a large diffuser, positioning and angling it in a way to perfectly cast the natural light over Kanya. With the diffuser in place, what I saw was magical… the sunlight seemed to bend around our subjects arms in a way I haven’t seen before.

Kanya and I stayed in touch after the workshop and she chose these 4 images for her Mr. Beast gameshow submission.
