Go from this...
...to this with a little understanding of 

light.

THE PROBLEM WITH HARSH LIGHT:
Sometimes we think, "the more light, the better," however, the full sun causes some issues:
  • Squinting
  • Washed-out faces
  • Harsh shadows on one side
THE SOLUTION:
It’s okay to find the shadows!  Look for soft, diffused light to soften the face.  If you really want that sunny glow, you can add in a sun glare during the editing process.

How do we deal with INDOOR LIGHTING?
I use a combination of two light sources for indoor photography: 
SOFTBOXES  & NATURAL LIGHT.
Diffused Light from Softboxes:
I love softboxes!  They are a great way to get soft, diffused light while shooting indoors. You can actually purchase an affordable softbox on Amazon. Just take care of it, especially when traveling!

Windows and Doors:
However, a softbox isn’t even needed with the use of an open door or clean windows. Use the natural world to light your subject and get great photos!

Today's Challenge:

Day 1:  Christmas Tree
Use what you learned about light and get a photo of a Christmas tree.  

Ideas:
- Outdoor Christmas tree farm
- Use window light to photograph your indoor tree

- Photograph your kids by the tree and the window

Just be creative and USE YOUR LIGHT!
