I think north-lit portraits can be beautiful and make sense for one who dabbles in portraiture, but going to the expense of creating a north-light studio unless your space already has a good north facing window with space around it, seems unnecessary considering the limitations and that artificial lighting gives you much more control and variety. But for the photographer who does location shooting with minimal gear, or has a north facing window in their home, it is wonderful and it is free!
At the Societies' Convention this coming January, I will be going deep into lighting and facial retouching with my two programmes, so watch for it, it'sgoing to be a TrippingTheLightFantastic time!!!
Let me tell you a secret! I'm not really a photographer... I'm more of a light sculptor - I bend the light to my will, to my vision using lots of cool geeky lighting equipment then immortalize my creation with my camera. I lecture internationally on lighting, digital photography, and Adobe Photoshop. Check out my Lighting and Photoshop tutorial DVDs for www.software-cinema.com and www.photoshopcafe. com. I'm available for lectures and workshops in your area and can be reached through www.montizambert.com.
There are 0 days to get ready for The Society of Photographers Convention and Trade Show at The Novotel London West, Hammersmith ...
