Interesting discussion. I've recently become interesting in doing 50mm portraits with natural light. I always like the look of natural light better than when I try and add a flash. I like that idea of kind of accepting "what's there" and working with it, rather than trying to manipulate it too much. A different type of creative approach that appeals to my sensibility. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks. There is something inspiring in restricting yourself in between. The natural light approach I have been working with most of my career. Hope I can bring it out to others through my workshops and here.
Verry well explained, thank you, Morten! One question: do you sometimes use a handheld exposure meter to check the light contitions on the subject? As a convinced M9 user I'm always interested in your videos and explanations. Best wishes from Germany!
Thank you. I actually never used a handheld exposure meter. I have always relied on a measurement in the camera (centre-weighted metering), adjusting accordingly depending on the situation with manual settings. This method I have practised for years and it works for me. It demands some practice but is far quicker. With digital cameras, one or two test shots of a scene can quickly hint if you are on the right page.

Enig. Er heller ikke fan af kunstigt lys.
Det er jo en smagssag men jeg har altid elsket begrænsningens kunst og det naturlige lys. 📷
