I love window light! But the studio I use has one big window with a building right in front of it so there is practically always shade… and living in Holland doesn’t help either 🤣 way to dark in the winter months. As soon as there is a chance to try good window light, I will! The results I see on Instagram are amazing most of the time (I always check the catchlight to figure out the setup 😂)
Great video as always 🙏🏼
And wow! You and your husband look amazing in your wedding pictures 🎉(it can’t be said often enough 😊)

Window lighting is so amazing! I wish I could shoot more of it but I live in France and the weather is baaaad 😂

Can we use counties light with a white transparent thin material in front in order to kind of mimic sun light ?

hey! thanks for the video :D

when using window light, do you typically supplement it with a fill light too or do you try to make it 100% natural?
