Captivating Light of Provence and 3 Tips for Outstanding Photos
There is something spectacular about the light in Provence. It feels like you are standing in an orb of soft light and photos, especially of people, are extremely pretty. This interesting phenomenon is of course what has drawn artists to the sunny South of France for centuries. Van Gogh spent the last year of his life in Saint Remy, the home base for A Taste of Paris trips to Provence.
He was quite prolific and one of his most famous works, Starry Night was painted here.
I’m taking 7 passengers to the South of France in September 2024. For the first time ever, I’m opening the trip to the public, TODAY! 7 glorious days in Provence is an opportunity you won’t want to miss. There are only 2 seats left for this highly sought-after trip. You will find all of the information below. but first…
It’s this unique light in the region that got me thinking it might be nice to share my top 3 tips for taking great photos no matter where you are in the world.
Top 3 Tips for Taking Great Photos
-Use natural light whenever possible and be sure the light is cast on the subject’s face not from behind. It’s astonishing how many times we forget this when trying to capture an ideal photo. This is especially important when taking pictures of people so that shadows are not cast on faces.
-To look open and happy, try these 2 things, tilt slightly forward at the hips, no more than 1 inch. And for anyone over 50, push have them push their face forward 1 inch. Be sure they do not tip their chin up or down while doing this, or they could look angry. This face-forward tip is my personal favorite!
-Be sure the subject is smiling with their eyes. Have the subject remember a happy time or memory and focus there while you say cheese and push the F-Stop or the iPhone button!
If you try these tips you will be amazed at how great your photos are!
