natural light portraits

Sun-illuminated people photos

Natural light portraits are photographs of people made using available light—sunlight, window light, or ambient illumination—rather than flash or studio lighting.

The term distinguishes a style that values soft, organic lighting over controlled artificial setups: She specializes in natural light portraits taken outdoors.

Photographers prize the flattering quality of diffused daylight, particularly during golden hour.
