Firelight creates an atmosphere that is both intimate and dramatic, perfect for evening couple sessions. The warm flicker of flames casts soft shadows and highlights, giving portraits a cozy and romantic tone.
Set up the session around a campfire, fireplace, or candles to create a glowing environment. Ask the couple to sit close, share a blanket, or toast marshmallows together. The warmth of the fire often encourages natural laughter and closeness.
Adjust camera settings for low light, keeping shutter speeds steady and ISO balanced to avoid noise. Embrace the natural glow, allowing shadows to create mood.
In post processing, enhance the warmth without overwhelming the frame. Keep skin tones natural while deepening the golden highlights of the flames.
Firelight sessions produce images that feel intimate, cinematic, and deeply emotional.
