What Landscape Photographers Can Steal From Outdoor Portrait Technique

What Landscape Photographers Can Steal From Outdoor Portrait Technique

Most of my work involves waiting. Waiting for light, waiting for clouds to shift, waiting for the river to settle after a gust. I’ve stood in freezing water at dawn more times than I can count, and my kids think I’ve lost my mind for it. But a few months back I found myself watching portrait tutorials at midnight, not because I photograph people, but because portrait photographers work with natural light in real time, under pressure, with a subject who can’t be asked to hold still for two hours while the sun moves.
