Window Light  by phil_howcroft

Window Light

Another shot from last weeks photoshoot at Papplewick Pumping Station.

This is Natasha, sat on a wrought iron staircase, lit by natural light from a window. Photographed with a Helios 44-2 58mm f2 Russian Vintage Lens ( from 1973) attached to my Sony A6000

The Russian lens always produces stellar results.


What a fascinating contrast of the metal steps and the soft gown. Those pearl gloves are exquisite too.

This is so good. I especially like down low where the skirt almost looks like swirling smoke.

This is absolutely stunning. Your model is beautiful and her contemplative expression is faultless.

I much prefer natural light for portraits, I think it tends to be, well, more natural! It brings out the skin tones and the drape of the dress here. Lovely tones in this and the pattern in the stair risers makes a pleasing counterpoint to your model.

@dulciknit thanks Alison , I always prefer natural light , I am not comfortable in a "studio lighting" setup. I love that this was done on a fifty years old charity shop lens .

@blueberry1222 many thanks Krista
