Camille Seaman Tells About Natural Lighting

Camille Seaman tries to make people connected with the planet. It is not enough to have the viewer see what he or she has not seen before. It is important to make him or her feel an emotional connection. She never photographs when it is a bright blue sky. She is looking for a particular quality of light. Camille likes storming skies. Once she sees the natural light she feels appropriate, she is looking into the scene. Her advice is to see classical paintings that were made with natural light. When you are at home making a portrait of someone, turn off all the lights and see what light is coming from the window. She considers her cameras and equipment as just tools. Although she shoots film, she is shifting to digital more and more.
