Natural Lighting Portrait Taken in natural light (sun or shade) of a classmate. It maybe candid, which means it is not posed, or it may be posed. We'll learn strategies to get a good candid shot in class. It may mean having a conversation while you shoot, telling jokes, or in some way getting the subject to relax and be themselves. If you’re doing something more posed it’s up to you to do your research and plan some flattering ways to pose your subject including what they should do with their hands and what you’ll say to get a good expression on their face.
