Light from a window can give an amazing, soft light for portraits and produce beautifully tender photographs.

Unlike in a studio, you move the camera position to change effect of the lighting. Starting with the camera between the model and the window, move in a semi circle to behind the model. This will change from no shadows to total shadow. The position of the camera determines how much of the model is in shadow. Continue reading Portraits Using Natural Window Light…

About John Wood – Portrait and Wedding Photographer Berkshire

Posted on February 10, 2009 at 9:40 am

Website: John Wood Photography
I am a full-time professional photographer based in Ascot but am open to working anywhere.

My passion is taking photographs of people that they appreciate and want to have. I have been doing this since 1977 when I was given my first camera. For you cameraphobes, I now use a Nikon D300 with 50mm 85mm and 18-200mm lenses.

Over the years I have given audio visual slides shows with dual projectors (that is going back a bit now) and more recently created the modern equivalent in mpeg format. I have also dabbled in video editing of events with multiple cameras.

I take all sorts of photographs from Passports to Fine Art to Commercial Portraits and also enjoy the event side of photography such as Weddings, Parties and Events. I started doing this professionally full-time in 2008, just before the credit crunch!!!

I am married with two sons and am a recent Grandad and therefore have a new model for my camera.

The clothes you wear always create an impact so it is good to have a variety to choose from on a shoot because you never know what impact you might want to create on the day.
