3 Fundamentals for Creating Light and Airy Photos

The light and airy look is a very popular style with clients and really evokes feelings of love, lightness, and happiness. However, a lot of photographers mistakenly assume that it is simply about overexposing what is otherwise a normal portrait image. If you are interested in creating the look in your own work, check out this fantastic video tutorial that will show you three important fundamentals for the style. 

Coming to you from Chelsea Nicole Photography, this great video tutorial will show you three fundamentals for the light and airy portrait style. This look is especially popular with wedding clients, especially since the feelings it evokes fit so naturally with the emotions of a wedding day. One thing that I think is particularly salient is the importance of intentionally designing the photo and editing to enhance rather than fix. A lot of people mistakenly think that the light and airy style is created in the edit, which is not the case. Not only will getting it closer to right in camera create better images, it will save you a significant amount of time, and when you are talking about wedding photography, any way you can increase your efficiency can save a ton of time in the long run. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
