I always find myself going to portrait photography, as my preferred genre.
Wardrobe, styling also done by me.
I almost can't do an outdoor session now without off camera lighting.
I used to pride myself on being a "natural light" photographer. But I'll admit, it's only because I didn't know how to balance or use Off camera lighting, now I'm mad it took me so long
These are nice. Especially numbers 2 and 3. The shadow in the first one seems a bit distracting (personal taste). What light and modifier did you use?
I, too, tend to use OCF in most of my outdoor shots, but do still use natural light a fair amount of time. It really just depends on the situation/location.
One thing I'll point out, though, is that getting one's head around off camera flash can greatly help improve an understanding of light in general, including natural light.
GREAT
