Experiment with angles. Shoot from above to show architectural details, or through doorways for a layered composition. Incorporate soft natural light to enhance the warm tones of the courtyard.
In editing, bring out the textures of stone and leaves while maintaining natural skin tones. Emphasize the cozy and romantic feeling without overpowering it.
Sessions in hidden courtyards offer a mix of history and intimacy, resulting in portraits that feel both secluded and timeless.
