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

Unless you are doing it for a deliberate effect, be careful to avoid dabbled light falling on the face. It's SUPER easy to not notice it until you're culling and editing, so be conscious of it while shooting. Taking a collapsible diffuser/shade will help, especially if you bring a helper along.
