Learn How This Natural Light Beauty Image Was Shot and Edited

If you are interested in beauty photography, you might be used to complex lighting setup to produce the often intricate lighting you see in the final images. And while these sorts of multi-light setups certainly have their place, you might be surprised by just how much you can accomplish even using only natural light. This excellent video will show you how a photographer lit, shot, and edited this natural light beauty photo.

Coming to you from Fstoppers alum Michael Woloszynowicz, this great video will show you how he shot and edited this natural light beauty image, including the lighting, his settings, and how he worked with the raw file in Capture One. Certainly, you can light beauty images with one or multiple lights, and many professional shots are created in this fashion, but personally, there is something I find satisfying about crafting a nice natural light image. It is also a great project to try with your partner or roommate if you are currently stuck at home with your lighting equipment at your studio or if you do not have the space for a large setup in your house. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Woloszynowicz!
