FREE Full Portrait Photography Masterclass | Shooting Natural Light with a $100 Camera Setup

FREE PORTRAIT MASTERCLASS — In this full 1.5-hour tutorial, I take you behind the scenes on location to show how I create stunning natural-light portraits using nothing more than a $100 camera setup — the Nikon D70s from 2005 paired with a vintage 50mm f/1.8 and 80-200mm f/2.8 lens from the 1980s.

We head into a beautiful sunflower field where I break down how to see light, position your subject, and create painterly portraits that feel timeless — no strobes, no reflectors, just the power of observation and direction.

Whether you’re a beginner photographer or an experienced portrait artist, you’ll discover how to:
• Identify perfect directional natural light on location
• Work with vintage gear to achieve professional results
• Compose, expose, and direct your subject for natural, emotive portraits
• Get that soft, premium look straight out of the camera
