Cinematic Photos With Harsh Light | Fujifilmx100VI Portrait Photography

What’s up guys!! Week 61 of my “shoot something every week until I get good” challenge 😅

In this episode, I finally face one of my biggest fears as a photographer — shooting in harsh light.

For the longest time, I’ve avoided direct sunlight because it’s so hard to control… but this week, I decided to challenge myself and make it work.

I do a portrait photoshoot with Fifi in a studio with strong window light, experimenting with harsh sunlight, Fujifilm colors, and even a few Polaroid shots. Throughout the video, I show before and after photo results, my camera settings, and share some honest thoughts on how to handle contrasty light during a real shoot.

If you’re into portrait photography, Fujifilm cameras, or just love cinematic natural light, this video’s for you!

📸 Gear used: Fujifilmx100vi (mainly natural light) + Polaroid
