Photo Direction

How to shoot this aesthetic

"Light caught mid-flicker, color felt before it is named"

Shot list

  • Soft portrait in dappled sunlight filtering through leaves, focus intentionally slightly soft
  • Subject walking through a flower field, motion blur on the background grasses while face is sharp
  • Backlit figure at the edge of a pond, water surface breaking the light into fragments

Lighting

Soft, broken natural light dappled tree cover, overcast sky with occasional sun breaks, or late afternoon side light through sheer curtains; the light itself should feel like it is moving
