Here I show my current way of working with window light when I shoot alone. I recently found some behind the scenes footage from this shoot so I included it in the video to really give an understanding of the light and the location. In the video “Julia with window light” I show how I used to do it or how I would do it if I used some additional equipment or an assistant. These two videos are a bit connected because they show two different ways of working under similar conditions. By comparing them you can also see how I handle the light now compare to more than one year earlier.
