I've been back in Sydney, Australia for a bit and decided to create this video. The topic of natural light is very important but often misunderstood, in my opinion. I'd love to get everyone's thoughts on the ideas I share here. Or, maybe you have an interesting approach to natural light in photography yourself.
Very good video. Pointing out that changing your mind about the light allows you to take photos is so important. I do a lot of indoor late night party photos using flash, and multiple, often moving, light sources so changing my mind about light and rules regarding it is the only way I can get interesting photos. It's part of our job as photographers to work the light and not let it work us.
Hi Mitchell, I stumbled upon your channel and the last two videos were fantastic, I subscribed and I'll definitely take inspiration from your videos to use in my own photography. BTW pictures you've shown in your videos were beautiful and I loved how you explained about composition and such. Can't wait to see what else you will bring! Take care and have safe trips!
What a fantastic thing this video is. It makes you want to get up, take the camera and go out taking pictures. Thank you very much for raising an unusual subject like this. Really if only we photograph when the light conditions are great we will be missing a fantastic world.
I don’t have the right words to describe how inspiring I find your teaching. I already have the natural light course and a some of your books and they are incredible. Your photographs are so impactful and I wish I could someday produce something as beautiful
Superb! I’m new to photography. I found this video to be an amazing source of information. The photography was exquisite and certainly illustrated your point. However, equally brilliant was how clearly you articulated your ideas and how to use them; how to assess the light and adapt the art to the light. Thank you. I look forward to more of your videos.
I think I just learnt the most important lesson in photography: “adapt to the lighting”! Thanks, Mitch! Enrolling in your “Behind the scenes” course soon!
Thank you very much! And yes - we have to adapt, because as far as natural light goes - that's all we can do. 🙂 We can't change it without carrying more gear.
This video is absolutely one of the best videos I’ve watched. You’ve made me think about photography in a new light. Everything doesn’t have to be beautiful but still have a big impact. I enjoy your videos. Immensely.
Really nice video! I appreciate also the format you use, not some quick tips explained in 2 minutes. Some things require time so don’t worry if the next video is long I will watch it!
Exactly right....I always told my students..."A good photographer is able to create a good image under any type of light and any given time of the day!" (One has to know and master his camera perfectly.) Plus...in post-production, you are able to change up to 85% of all images to the exact mood you desire. It is a steep learning curve though, but in photography, like in any other profession, constant education and never-ending improvement are the secret of success and will set you apart from the (unsuccessful) rest. (Purchasing an expansive camera will make you as much a photographer as buying a real sharp knife would make you a surgeon.) Photojournalists, Wedding Photographers, and Travel Photographers have one thing in common..very often, they have only one chance to take the image! Right there and right then. Only a very well trained professional will be able to handle that, all the time and under all circumstances despite the stress that most are under.
Fantastic video Mitchell! This is super informative and very well brought! The photos and examples are stunning and I bet that after watching this video, a lot of people will feel inspired to go out there and try to capture some beautiful photos and stories (me included ;) ). I love how you say that it's all about the mindset. "You've got to work and be creative with what you have". Very true! Keep making these videos, looking forward to see (and learn) more!!
As an amateur who enjoys photography immensely , I am glad I came across your video. There is mystique in natural light. Appreciate your bringing it up. Philip.
Subscribed .Very inspiring lesson. Loved your photos. Really liked your thought process. Would love hear from you about how to make most out of a place where you have never been before, in any given light.
This was actually the first time seeing a video about using light Outdoors and it was awesome. Thank u for makeing such good Content. Every one is always talking about "photographing is painting with light", but Nobody ever showed so many aspects how to use it. rly appreciate it.
I have only just recently subscribed to your channel but I must say it is without doubt one of, if not the best photography channel I've used. Excellent content and very well presented. Top Mark's on making the content and the educational value in it.
Hi- I have always loved natural light and its FREE as a posed to using flash. Your video highlights some very good info. is really logical and all makes perfect sense to me. I have become a bit lax over latter years eg. not going out in the rain to photograph. You have inspired me, thank you.
This is an excellent lesson on how to use - and even to benefit from hard and seemingly photographically-bad natural light. Basically, what you teach us is, that there is no bad natural light for photography; just use the existing light as is, to your purposes and benefits. A lot of thanks, Mitchell!
Hi Mitchell, first of all you have a fantastic body of work that I constantly find inspiration in! The fact that you also take the time and effort to share your approach to photography is wonderful. I really enjoyed the video and look forward to the next! Keep up the great work and many thanks!
+mitchellkphotos Hi Mitchell! i wonder how to get so many peoples in front of your camera... so naturally! do you ask them if you can make photos of them ? or do you just shoot and then ask ? or dont ask at all? as a german i can´t think of something like this... maybe im to shy? -- do you have tips
I like this. And sometimes the situation also is such that we either shoot in harsh, midday light or we do not shoot at all. It helps if we can be flexible, I think, and try to make the best of whatever situation we are presented with. Sometimes we just cannot control it.
As I'm always traveling on other projects, I mostly shoot in the light that is presented with some surprising and unexpected results. Although I do wait for certain lighting when I can. This gives more food for thought as I'm upping the photography more and more. PS arrived at Uluru in the rain! The following morning overcast, mist etc, created a beautiful difference of colours.
Thank you very much. I'm from Argentina. All my life love photography. but couldn't get a camera until my 68 years, not a very goog one, but quite enough for my knowlege of this lovely art., I've got a nikon dslr 5200 and a 18/55 and a simple and cheap 70/300 SIGMA, but I enjoy very much, and agreed with you, just work with the light you've got in that moment and create. You are a great teacher, that knows how to teach, thank you very much. in instagram lennylnye.1 sory for my pour english.
am i the only one who thought he was Australian? not cause of his accent but based on his looks alone. btw thanks Mitchell, i really enjoyed watching this video
Hi Mitchell, When you take these very candid looking photos of people acting very naturally, how do you approach them about it? Are some of these completely candid, do you contact them ahead of time, or do you simply just ask nicely? I wonder as I have wanted to take photos of people without interrupting them but still keeping them as natural as possible while on my travels. Thanks!
Mitchell, Mitchell, Mitchell, Mitchell.....wow wow wow wow....I just don't know where to start! Since that short time I spent with you and your beautiful wife in India, til now, I have been totally awed by the focus and dedication that you have put into your photography, and it's only through this devotion to your craft that you can create such a thorough, informative and clear video like this on light. This video is amazing. You are amazing. You're imagery speaks for itself (holy cheese balls!! !:O) and your offerings to the world of creativity and the standard of photography (in camera) is Amazeballs!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you! Click on brother! jacx
Hi Mitchell, honestly speaking one of the best photographic RUclips videos EVER! I live in the UAE and I always make excuses about the hard light , you just changed my perspective the way I should look at light. Like you say" Their is no good or bad light, it's the way you approach it" Keep the videos coming, I am certainly going to check out your course. Regards Tony
You come across as a lovely person who takes amazing photographs. Thank you for your contribution. If I could take one photo as good as one of yours I would be happy forever :)
Hi Mitchell, so many thanks for your sharing of knowledge. I agree and endorse every single one of the comments, particularly the ones about the way you deliver your messages. Also a great + for the music, quiet and relating, not the discodasco that many photo"rappers" are spoiling their - somehow often quite good - vids with. And do I envy you....a LOT ;-)
I have that series of lessons. Very informative and molded my own sense of the work that I want to do in photography. Also, your stories were exciting and more than just a passing fancy. THANK YOU!
Wow, I don't normally comment on videos but you're an amazing story teller through your photos and actually story telling. Love your work and learning from watching/listening.
Fist of all I would like to say thank you, for all what you have share.. 🙏 I have a question for you if is possible.. Learning technique and how to use a camera our day is more o less easy.. What I found very difficult is how to tell a story in a single frame. How to volarize the subject in the picture... Any suggestion for that... 😁🙏🖼️
Hi Mitchell, I have recently subscribed to your Full Package and I am totally enthralled by your excellent presentation and the way that you demonstrate your ideas. If this is one of your early RUclips Videos, all I can add is keep up this excellent standard, I'm already hooked and waiting for more. Thanks, John
Thankyou for many amazing thoughts & photos you shared . One of my most ever favourite photos, I'd seen somewhere before, the child with little nose pushed against the glass while raining outside, little pink lips, pondering eyes & yellow top & it's yours !!!!. Thanks again for all you are willing to contribute to photographic community much appreciated .
Thank you very much for the wonderful video explaining the most powerful tool. I has landed on my consciousness as a transformative principal. You are very kind and generous with your knowledge. Good journeys.
Very informative video. Extremely well edited and very easy to watch and take in. well done Mitchell! Look forward to more contents from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great video. The most honest, practical and informative material from any pro photographer I follow. I’ve read all of Mitchell’s ebooks and watched his other videos and they are all just as inspiring. Please keep the videos coming.
Hi Mitchell, the photos you are using to make your point, the explanations you are giving and the tone of your speech, all together with the subject make your videos captivating. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
This was really inspiring. Great photos and a very well presented video. I don't recall you talking about equipment which is refreshing. You reminded me that the essence of photography is in the meaning of the word 'photography' - writing with light. Many thanks.
I found this a wonderful use of time. I wonder how you make contact with your subjects during your travels. You have a number of closeup photos of people. How do you approach them especially in cases where language differences are a challenge? I look forward to more from you.
What a great video. It's things that you deep down know but when presented in this way, with such amazing photographs, it's an eye-opener and really inspiring. Thank you :-)
Thanks for watching. :) I think some of us know deep down as you say, but I have to say that early on when I started, I was obsessed with golden hour light. So much so that I didn't shoot outside this time, unless it was indoors. I think some people go through their whole life convinced that there is such thing as "bad light".
This video might actually change the way I photograph. Using and understanding light to create deep and powerful photographs the way you explained here was kinda eye opening! Thanks!
nice video and great photos! I would like to see some behind the scenes videos and how you logistically manage when you are traveling (gear, how you edit,your workspace, do you have an electricity/wifi? or everything you think you want to share about your experience. thanks a lot!
You must have been the son of an Australian diplomat. I'd love to hear your story. These are incredible videos, so glad I stumbled on them. In two weeks, I'm heading out to spend two years on the road in the US and Mexico.
Great tutorial and amazing photos! Would you do something like talk about how did you become a travel photographer or the process? Maybe how did you start and how did you earn money from it?
Great video. It changed my whole perspective on shooting. My only question is since you don't use a tripod, and your light is quite variable, do you pump up the ISO to get the shot with clarity?
Thanks for posting this video. Personally I've always shot in whatever light out of necessity especially when travelling. It's nice to hear someone else confirm what I've been doing all along. 😆
Makes one think more, instead of being a tourist/ photographer. Such a beautiful thing is all natural light. We just need to embrace it within our images by thinking just that little bit more. Thank you for this video.
Inspiring video! Thank you for helping me out of my creative rut. A nice reminder that this also gives us more than 2hrs a day to make photographs. My Family will appreciate that I no longer have to disappear at dinner time for that Golden hour!
I've been back in Sydney, Australia for a bit and decided to create this video. The topic of natural light is very important but often misunderstood, in my opinion.

Well, again "great" is relative. :) Everything can be great for the purpose, just have to think of what we actually want to communicate.
YOU ARE WONDERFULL. YOU AROE AMOND FEW WHO DISCUSS PHOTOGRAPHY NOT EQUIPMENT. YOU ARE REAL EDUCATOR.

Exactly. :)

Great inspiration this AM as I gear up to go out with local fishermen in Cozumel for the day. Gonna have plenty of that harsh sunlight!
Fantastic, photography as science :)
Thank you and God bless.
I really like music and the sound effects a pair with Mitchell voice makes me want to get my camera and go out to take some pictures
Very inspirational! Thanks!

Thanks
Thanks for a wonderfully informative video on a misunderstood subject. Lots of takeaway from it.
Thanks for watching.
Your videos are marvelous, the best I've seen on RUclips. You make the narrative connect with the wonderful images. Inspirational!
Thanks so much.
Hi Mitchell, so many thanks for your sharing of knowledge. I agree and endorse every single one of the comments, particularly the ones about the way you deliver your messages. Also a great + for the music, quiet and relating, not the discodasco that many photo"rappers" are spoiling their - somehow often quite good - vids with. And do I envy you....a LOT ;-)
"discodasco" haha. I know what you mean! :)
I know it's an old video, but I just started having fun with photography and this is very informative, thank you mitchellkphotos
!
It is kinda old now! Doesn't have an expiry date though. 🙂 Thanks for watching it.
I have that series of lessons. Very informative and molded my own sense of the work that I want to do in photography. Also, your stories were exciting and more than just a passing fancy. THANK YOU!

Well, yes... I have a whole course on that. Haha. But, I'll have some free videos up in the future. Just need time to make them.
Hi Mitchell, I have recently subscribed to your Full Package and I am totally enthralled by your excellent presentation and the way that you demonstrate your ideas. If this is one of your early RUclips Videos, all I can add is keep up this excellent standard, I'm already hooked and waiting for more. Thanks, John
Thanks very much. Yeh, still early goings. Let's see where it all goes. :)
Thankyou for many amazing thoughts & photos you shared . One of my most ever favourite photos, I'd seen somewhere before, the child with little nose pushed against the glass while raining outside, little pink lips, pondering eyes & yellow top & it's yours !!!!. Thanks again for all you are willing to contribute to photographic community much appreciated .
Haha. Thanks. That's my nephew. :)
Thank you very much for the wonderful video explaining the most powerful tool. I has landed on my consciousness as a transformative principal. You are very kind and generous with your knowledge. Good journeys.
Thanks and enjoy. 🙂
Very informative video. Extremely well edited and very easy to watch and take in. well done Mitchell! Look forward to more contents from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Great video. The most honest, practical and informative material from any pro photographer I follow. I’ve read all of Mitchell’s ebooks and watched his other videos and they are all just as inspiring. Please keep the videos coming.
Thanks very much. :)
Hi Mitchell, the photos you are using to make your point, the explanations you are giving and the tone of your speech, all together with the subject make your videos captivating. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks very much. Appreciate it.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Is post processing as important as the tools you have when you shot those images ?
Not as important, but definitely important.
How do you not have a few million followers/subscribers? You're pure awesomeness. LOVE your content. Thank you.
Haha. Thanks. Just started, I hope there will be a few more. :)
This was really inspiring. Great photos and a very well presented video. I don't recall you talking about equipment which is refreshing. You reminded me that the essence of photography is in the meaning of the word 'photography' - writing with light. Many thanks.
Thanks, Paul. There's room for equipment in videos for sure, but that's not what this channel is or will be about predominantly.
I found this a wonderful use of time. I wonder how you make contact with your subjects during your travels. You have a number of closeup photos of people. How do you approach them especially in cases where language differences are a challenge? I look forward to more from you.
Thanks for watching. That is a whole different topic. Might do a video on it at some stage. :)
a very informative and great video !

This video might actually change the way I photograph. Using and understanding light to create deep and powerful photographs the way you explained here was kinda eye opening! Thanks!
That's for watching. That's the idea. :)
Descriptive..intuitive. kudos for taking time out to share your valuable life experiences in the field of photography and feel around it.
Himadri
Thanks for checking it out. :)
nice video and great photos! I would like to see some behind the scenes videos and how you logistically manage when you are traveling (gear, how you edit,your workspace, do you have an electricity/wifi? or everything you think you want to share about your experience.
thanks a lot!
Thanks, I'll try do do something on that later. Never thought of it, but it's an idea :)
More great info and inspiration. Your simple and straightforward presentations are always so helpful. Thanks for being so generous.
Glad to be useful. :)
You must have been the son of an Australian diplomat. I'd love to hear your story. These are incredible videos, so glad I stumbled on them. In two weeks, I'm heading out to spend two years on the road in the US and Mexico.
Haha, that would have been interesting, but not at all. My family is Belarusian/Russian/Polish and probably some other mixes somewhere.
Very enjoyable ! I've taken something away from this that maybe wasn't in my armoury before. Thanks !
That's the idea. Thanks for watching. :)
Great tutorial and amazing photos! Would you do something like talk about how did you become a travel photographer or the process? Maybe how did you start and how did you earn money from it?
Yes. I'll make a video about that at some stage.
love your videos and work!! I never write comments on RUclips but I had to let u know: respect ! passionate photographer , thanks for sharing
Thank you.
Great channel!Thanks👍Wish to you,and your channell all the best👋Like & subcrb
Thank you very much, Appreciate it! :)
Great video. It changed my whole perspective on shooting. My only question is since you don't use a tripod, and your light is quite variable, do you pump up the ISO to get the shot with clarity?
Sometimes, yes, other times I just bring down the shutter speed. I shoot with a camera with very good stabilization.
Hey Thanks, I found your video very valuable and it's got me thinking in broader terms, which can only be a good thing.
Thanks and agreed. Thinking broader is better in terms of photography and light.
Thanks for that truly useful information. Nothing can substitute experience. Can't wait to get out there and shoot:-)
Go get em! Indeed, nothing substitutes going out there and shooting.
Wow thank you..would be great to get some "how to get started" tips on this profession..you're awesome! And good luck to your channel
Definitely something I am planning to make - a "how to make travel photography into a profession video".
Thanks for posting this video. Personally I've always shot in whatever light out of necessity especially when travelling. It's nice to hear someone else confirm what I've been doing all along. 😆
You've been doing well. :)
Fantastic. Thank you.
Makes one think more, instead of being a tourist/ photographer. Such a beautiful thing is all natural light. We just need to embrace it within our images by thinking just that little bit more. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching and yeh, that's the point. Embrace it and take advantage of what's actually there.
Where in Belarus were you born? My wife is from the Minsk area. I've been three times, it's a beautiful country, especially when the sun comes out :)
Yeh, Minsk too. The city. And yeh... for like two weeks. 😂 Not my fav country to be honest, but motherland is motherland. Haha.
Inspiring video! Thank you for helping me out of my creative rut. A nice reminder that this also gives us more than 2hrs a day to make photographs. My Family will appreciate that I no longer have to disappear at dinner time for that Golden hour!
Haha! I still would disappear, but for the day! :)
