NATURAL LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

Natural light photography is the art of using nature or available light to capture images. 

What to take into consideration when shooting in the natural light?

  1. The direction of your light source: The sun moves throughout the day and the direction will vary based on the time and the geological location. The light direction will determine the type of look and quality that you will be able to achieve. 
  2. The temperature of the light: The temperature of the light is the mood or feel of the light. Blues or greys are generally cool colours and will give a cool feeling. Reds, yellows and oranges are warm colours and those will give a vibrant feeling. These colours will appear based on location and times of the day. 
  3. Shoot in the shade: The shade is great for shooting portraits, this is so because locations such as Jamaica can get extremely hot and this will help to keep the shoot fun and cool and keep your model comfortable. The shade also helps you to achieve even light which will give more flattering images. 
  4. When to shoot: There are two times that are the best to shoot: Sunrise and Sunset. Sunset is my favourite time to shoot, the colours are so rich and warm which works really well with skin tones. The environment at this time is also extremely beautiful which makes great environmental portraits.

Jamaican Portrait & Event Photographer I started off as many contemporary photographers did, with a crappy phone and lack of knowledge of the basic elements and techniques of a student or professional photographer.  My first year in college led me to the discovery of the DSLR Camera, this was a joy for me because I have always seen them but never have I ever been this close to holding one. But before I could hold the camera I had to learn the history of Jamaican photography, the parts of the camera and their functions.  The techniques associated with photography were all under one heading; Composition. A Composition is all that is within an exposed image.  My journey thus far has led me to experiment with the various forms of photography. I have found that I most enjoy Portrait and event photography. I have been fortunate enough to have met and work with some of the most beautiful personalities a photographer could ever want.  As a Jamaican photography, I found t

Portrait Photography in Jamaica I am Norbert Smellie I am a Jamaican Portrait and Event Photographer based in Kingston. I am extremely passionate about people and photography. It is always very interesting to me to see how individuals react when I pull out my camera to take their portraits, some are happy and some become so self-conscious that it makes the mood in the room very tense.  I have learned over a period of four years how to handle different personalities when taken a portrait. It helps when I speak with my client to get a field of who they are and introduce them to who I am.  I love portrait photography, it shows who a person really is if done correctly, it gives the viewer an insight into the life of the person in the image.  I am very interested in learning as much as I can about people in order to be able to understand them better. I also love the group and Family portraits. The group dynamic is a bit more complicated as there is always an assigned role
