Using nature to help you tell the story

Knowing how to work with your surroundings to capture beautiful images is a great skill to have as a photographer.
Take advantage of your beautiful surroundings!
Nature has its way of showing us its beauty. It’s something that no photo editing software or studio background can do. Being able to be one with your surroundings and using them to creating a masterpiece is a gift. So how do you take advantage your natural elements to enhance the photo shoot (and the finished images)?
- Choose a location that is breath-taking beautiful!
- Let the natural elements guide you. Where is the sun, which angle is the wind coming from?
- Be sensitive to your surroundings, tread lightly – take only pictures.

See how the sun and the wind add beautiful details to Lara’s body and face? Do you like the way the sunlight adds so much more emotion to these pictures as it pierces through Lara’s hair?

Lovely and talented model and wonderful lighting effects! One distraction for me, though, is her wrinkled dress… detracts from beauty of shots as a whole. Love your work, Brent!
Just amazing Brent! Thank you. May I please ask what lens did you use? Thank you
I used my 85mm f1.8 lens – to challenge myself by only using a fixed focal length lens and it has a very shallow depth of field. Brent
