Working in natural light is one of the key elements of being a portrait photographer. Once you've mastered shooting in the various different lighting scenarios that you could come across, the rest of photography becomes a lot less daunting and a lot easier to deal with.

In this class, we're going to be exploring some of the most common types of natural light you might experience, what they mean and some of my best tips on how to tackle shooting in them. We'll be covering the theory of lighting scenarios and techniques such as direct light, backlighting and shadow play, as well as going behind the scenes as I shoot on a bright, sunny day and on a cloudy, overcast day, before jumping into Adobe Lightroom and looking at some common tools and techniques you can use to tackle natural light shooting.
