A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Doing a shoot in the woods, any tips? (alien.top)

Does anyone have any advice for this, I’m doing a shoot for a musician and she wants to take shots in the woods?

I’ve never done portrait style photography outside before and wondering if anyone has any advice? My main concern is lighting, should I bring any? Does anyone have any recommendations for stuff that I can use with a remote power supply, and if so what power supplies do people recommend?

Any help is very welcome haha

You should be able to just use the natural lighting; the woods will offer plenty of soft/diffused lighting for portraiture. Just make sure to position your subject out of direct sunlight.

The only tricky part is that what can happen is the canopy can cast a green tint over everything, which can make white balance difficult to get right. Shouldn't be an issue if you shoot RAW though.
