Natural Light and Casual Style with Sucely in NYC
We took the camera outdoors with Sucely for a relaxed session in natural light. She wore casual summer clothes, and the soft daylight in the park kept the look simple.

The park fountain
Sucely sits on a dark stone ledge with a soft-focus fountain and greenery behind her. She wears a fitted brown short-sleeve top, blue denim shorts and brown sneakers, with a small black shoulder bag. She is centered and looks straight at the camera.
Put your subject in the center of a busy background like a fountain and the eye goes straight to their expression.
Soft focus greenery
This medium shot puts the focus on Sucely's expression and small accessories: a delicate necklace, a bracelet and a light-colored watch. The blurred yellow and green leaves sit well against her brown top and blue denim. Her hands rest in her lap.
Keep hand placement simple and soft in seated portraits so the whole frame feels relaxed.
The side profile
Sucely turns her head to the side against a bright, soft-focus background of summer trees. The natural light picks out her straight dark hair and the simple shape of her brown tee. It breaks up the direct-to-camera portraits in the set.
Having your model look just off-camera can change the mood of a shoot from active to reflective.
A bright smile
A close-up of Sucely with a wide smile, with soft reflections on the water behind her. Her dark brown hair frames her face, and she wears delicate gold jewelry and simple makeup.
A genuine smile works best late in a session, when the model is comfortable with the camera and the place.
That's the inside look. Save this one for your next shoot.
