Here are couple natural light portraits of Nicky from a recent studio session in Cleckheaton. I was using Silkwood studios for the first time as it has some large windows which I thought were worth exploring as a light source for some fashion and portrait image.

Having worked with Nicky before I was confident that we would produce some good shots

For this image I used the simple yet beautiful natural light coming from the window to the left hand side which was giving some nice soft side light. The image had been toned in post processing as I like the look the toning gave.

Putting Nicky closer in to the window light source gives some nice soft lighting across the body.

Each of the windows had some net curtain material draped across them so that helped to soften the natural light. By putting Nicky into the window and then angling the camera it produced some nice tension to the image. Again I have toned the image in post processing.

For this shot I put Nicky into the corner which allowed light to come from two sources; the window behind and the window to the right hand side. I kept this one as a colour version and added a slight colour grading to it
