Why I choose to be a natural light photographer




I am a fine art, film inspired, natural light photographer based out of the Tampa, Florida area. But why do I choose to specialize in natural light rather than studio or artificial light? Simple answer is because I like it better. haha This blog post isn't by any means meant to shade any photographer that specializes in studio lights or to use OCF ( off camera flash ). Because those that specialize in using artificial light are amazing and it's defiantly takes a skilled and experienced photographer to do it well! However, I'm just telling you a little more about me and so you can get to know me as your natural light Wesley Chapel, Florida headshot photographer a little better.


Why do I consider myself a fine art photographer? Because I believe in a classic and timeless approach to photography that will last for decades. Over the years of many trends have come and gone with respects to editing but one thing that has lasted for years is natural light portraits. Natural light, fine art photography usually produces photos that fit the following:


- Timeless

- Elegant

- Romantic

- True to color editing

- Bright and airy

- Natural posing


This blog post might seem silly to some but I think it's important to share why I love what I do and why I choose to specialize in a specific style. Consistency is very important when hiring a photographer for your wedding or senior portraits. One thing I can promise you is that the when you hire me that your images will line up with what you see on my website and social media. It's because I am confident and very experienced with shooting in natural light. I know what time of day to shoot at, what locations will work best, and where to place you in the photo so the light hits in all the right places. I can promise you that you will love your photos for a lifetime if you choose me as your lifestyle headshot photographer.
