Inspiration
Look for areas that create interesting pat-
terns for the background. Foliage and flow-
ers can create nice patterns and add a
splash of color. Using the beauty of nature
for your backdrop can create an interesting
portrait.
Placing your subject in the shade of tree or
building softens the light from the sun, mak-
ing the lighting more even, creating a more
pleasant portrait. This setting also keeps the
sun out of your model’s eyes so that they
aren’t squinting.
