At Her Place with Rachel
I'll let you in on a little secret: I rarely rely exclusively on natural light for these shoots. There usually isn't enough of it, and the shadows can be pretty harsh. So, I bring one studio light and one reflector to complement whatever light I find on location. Ideally, the effect is subtle enough that no one notices. Rachel's place was a challenge. It was a basement apartment in a building that had no right to have basement apartments. The only natural light came from a window in the front door. Fortunately, that was next to where Rachel kept her elegant canopy bed. It wasn't much, but it was magical. Follow on Instagram: Duke Photo , Rachel
