Welcome to Day 1 of 7 Days to Camera-Ready! 📸
Today is all about light, the secret behind every great photo. Here are my top tips from 30+ years in Hollywood:
1. Sit or stand sideways to a window. Let soft daylight fall across one side of your face. It's the most beautiful, flattering light there is, and it's free!
2. Play with distance. About six feet from the window gives you soft, even light. Move a little closer for more drama and glow.
3. Don't face the window head-on. Straight-on window light is too bright and flattens your features.
4. Never put the window behind you. That's backlighting, and it turns you into a silhouette.
5. Try a window portrait. Gaze out the window with the light on your face. Done right, it's one of the most stunning portraits you can take. 🪟✨
This is exactly what I do in every remote session. I direct you live on FaceTime, find your best light, and capture every shot myself. 💛
🎟️ Every comment you leave during the challenge earns you one raffle ticket. The more you comment, the more tickets you get! On Day 8 we go live and draw the winner of a FREE remote headshot session.
👉 What time of day has the most beautiful light coming through your favorite window?
See you tomorrow for Day 2!
