Light and airy photos are such a popular style to shoot in! There are a few keys that will take your work from just OK to AMAZING! In today’s video I’m giving you 3 keys to shoot light and airy photos every time.
You don’t need to change everything to achieve that light and airy style! I’m so excited to share some things I use to go from basic photos to beautiful, soft and blissful. Most people think golden hour is the best time to shoot, but I have an unpopular opinion that seems to work better! I’ve also seen the priority of a background take the potential of ‘light and airy’ right out of your photos. I have such an easy tweak to include that backdrop but let the light in! You don’t need a total overhaul to achieve that light and airy style – just a tweak here and there!
Starting with light and airy makes it easier to end in light and airy. Don’t wait until it’s time to edit to create the light and airy effect. How you start can make your finish a whole lot easier. By using some of these keys you don’t have to rely solely on editing skills. Find the light and airy style in your time of day, backdrop, camera settings and more. Check out today’s video for a jumpstart to shooting light and airy photos EVERY time!
Super popular style, but hard to master if you’re doing a few key things wrong. Here are 3 secrets to mastering light and airy every time:
1. Background choice is key!
2. Time your session right
3. Expose for your subject, not your background
BONUS: Editing is the icing on the cake…hard work done in-camera.
Editing does make a difference though!
