WHAT IS A NATURAL REFLECTOR?
Using Natural Reflectors for Better Outdoor Portraits

Reflectors are used to bounce light from a light source (in natural light photography, that would be the sun) on to your subject.

Andrew Fitness

Remember my cousin Andrew from this photo shoot in Florida?  Well, while I was there he asked if  I would take some shots for his fitness portfolio since he’s going to start participating in bodybuilding competitions.

Katherine Vargas - this are great Maddy, wishing him the best and many wins.

Albert Einstein wasn’t kidding when he said “Creativity is contagious.” I finally installed the Feeddler app and it’s been a godsend!  Now instead of struggling to […]

Amy - So true! And love the earrings. I do wish I could wear green; but I’m so pasty white that anything green near my face reflects, making me look as though I’ve been sailing amid rough seas. :S

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - Lol! Really? I would think green would be your color, especially since you have a bit of the reddish tone to your hair.

Elena - I love these photos! I have a thing for books too! Seriously, I just love looking at them. I always say I’m going to photograph some and I never get the chance! Love the way these books are all neutrals! They look fantastic with the vivid green earrings!
