The Real Cost of Natural Light
Wednesday, 26 August, 2026
I don't know what it's like where you live, but I live in Seattle, WA, and it is starting to feel like fall.The days are already getting a little shorter.The evenings are cool. We even have rain in the forecast again… And very soon, our days are going to be much shorter, and for natural light photographers, that means our potential working hours also take a cutIf you're a photographer who works with natural light, you know exactly what I'm talking about.Summer gives us long days. And those long days, give us options…Then the season changes and our window for "good light" gets smaller and smaller. And what really sucks, is that this change in light happens just as the busy fall season is picking up.So, just as our bookings are increasing, our light starts leaving us.Now, if you listen to this podcast then you probably already know that I love working with strobes and flash, and you’re probably think that thats what I’m going to pivot into…. But I also know that there are many photographers who work exclusively with natural light and LOVE natural light, and so it thats you, then please stay, because I actually wrote this episode for you…There is a cost to being a natural light photographer that nobody talks about. And honestly, if someone would have had this conversation with me at the beginning of my career, ti would have saved me years of stress and years of wasted time and money.So lets talk about it…SHOWNOTES:https://sandracoanstudios.com/the-real-cost-of-natural-light/Lighting on Location: https://www.sandracoaneducation.com/lighting-on-location
