Every local photographer knows that Dubai portrait photography is all about light. This is a something you never forget. You are using lenses to focus light, filters to add or reduce light and your camera to record light. Or you’re just looking at the world with human eyes that see the vast electromagnetic spectrum. Whatever your tool, you are working with light.
If you’re a portrait photographer, it’s easy to get carried away with the idea that your photos are “good enough.” But when you’re creating fine art portraits, you need to be willing to invest the time and effort into getting the light right. It’s not about just getting your shots; it’s about making them count.
I started shooting portraits in Dubai and I found that the best light setup for fine art portrait photography in is natural light. That’s because it creates painterly photos that resonate the Old Masters masterpieces. And it would work just right no matter where in the world you are shooting. Artists used to use natural light before photography was invented—and it produces beautiful results. Unlike artificial light sources like flash, which can wash out the colors in your photo if you’re not careful, natural light has a way of giving each subject their own personality so that they come across as individuals instead of just being an object in front of your camera lens. So for best painterly portrait results, create all the fine-art portraits you need with natural light
