Bringing nature landscapes into portrait photography of women is something I think I do best of all. While many photographers love the look of a blurry background that puts all the focus on the woman, I like to have a balanced mix between her soul and the soul of her surroundings. What do you like? You be the judge!
PHOTO INSPIRATION
There are many ways to bring a beautiful woman and a beautiful landscape together in a photograph. There are plenty of amazing places in the GTA that can be used to accomplish these looks. You can find proof in our nature portrait inspiration gallery. In fact, most of our photos were taken in the Greater Toronto Area, so go take a look and get inspired!
NATURE + HUMANS
I wish it was as simple as just having someone stand in the middle of a grand landscape, but it isn’t. Placement, pose, attitude, lighting, clothing, and more are all important aspects that need to be considered. Attention to detail is a huge factor in creating timeless, compelling images.
Bringing landscape and portrait photography is one of my most favourite things to do. Even in winter months, great photos can be made, but once spring hits the possibilities really open up. Oh, and the fusion between nature and people also works for couples (as seen below)!
Jonathan How is the photographer behind Made by Ten and calls Milton his home. He specializes in creating beautiful, creative portraits of real women. He uses photography (and this blog) to help them build confidence and love for themselves and creates artistic images for their homes and offices. You can see him driving around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in Ontario, Canada from portrait to fashion shoot and back again.
