The Art of Natural-Light Photography and Why It Matters

Natural Light Creates Emotion and Authenticity

Natural light shifts throughout the day, allowing me to build mood, depth, and atmosphere in ways studio lighting often can’t replicate. At Mark Requena Photography, natural-light sessions are designed to feel organic and cinematic. Clients looking for a Chatham photographer who understands natural light often choose Mark for his experience with lighting.
