rules to using window light

 

Winter is tough for the photography world.  It's freezing & dull outside.  This tutorial will teach you how to capture a stunning image inside with window light.  The first rule is to pick a time of day when the sun in not directly coming into the windows.

 

Below are the 3 rules to placing your subject in relation to the window...

Rule #1: Place your subject on the same level as your light.  I used a table to lift the sweet baby off the ground and level with the window light.

Rule #2:  Place your subject close to the window.  You will be surprised how much difference the light will be just 1 or 2 feet away.  

Rule #3:  Be sure to have lots of window between you and your subject.  This will create a softer light than if you have very little window between you and your subject.  (I did end up pulling that curtain all the way back and out of my light.)
 

Here are some more images I captured...

Happy Snapping!!
