Capture the Perfect Porch Portrait: Lighting and Timing Tips

For a stunning porch portrait, all about the light! Here’s how to find the perfect time of day:

Lighting:

    • Embrace the Shade: Avoid harsh direct sunlight overhead. Aim for even, diffused light that bathes the entire porch. Sunlight filtering in from the side or back creates a flattering, soft glow.

Timing it Right:

    • North or South Facing Houses: These porches are versatile! Capture them in the morning or afternoon when the sun grazes the sides.
    • West Facing Houses: Mornings are your golden hour! The sunlight will beautifully illuminate the porch without harsh shadows.
    • East Facing Houses: Afternoon light works best here. The sun will softly highlight the porch and its charming details.

Seasonal Touches:

    • Full House View: Hoping to showcase your entire house? Consider the season. Lush green grass and vibrant trees in the background add a pop of color, making spring or summer ideal.

Remember: These are just guidelines! Don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for your unique porch.
