Portrait Photography of Elizabeth & Helena
Two gorgeous little girls playing outside and enjoying the summer weather.
Although I shoot all types of portraiture my favourite kind is lifestyle or environmental portrait photography. Capturing people in their own natural environment, I think, adds to the narative of the photograph and also cuts out much of the awkwardness that can result with a formally posed image in a studio. Lifestyle photography is invariably very relaxed and produces lovely natural photographs. I feel these photographs have really captured the ambince of a bright summers day.
I have picked this photograph to display because I love Helena’s facial exxpression. It looks like she’s about to floor the accelerator to get me.
There is such beautiful light in the summer, although full sunshine can be a photographers nightmare. It generally gives lots of harsh shadows, panda eyes and trouble with exposures. If utilised correctly the harsh sunlight can proviide fantastic rim lighting and hair highlights.
