"My name is Anthony Maddaloni and I'm going to be talking about using available natural light, or window light in your photographs. One of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to make your photography look awesome, is just by using window light. And one thing I tell myself is that I like to look around my house or my house, or wherever I'm staying and look at how the light looks at certain times of day through the windows. Now, I look at it and I make a mental note saying how well the light looks beautiful coming through that window at nine o'clock in the morning. So lets say I, I want to take a portrait of my friend. I know that that's where I'm going to put her. Right there where that light looks awesome. And it's really going to give it this great natural light glow to people. And so that's one way that I try to utilize the most inexpensive light that I can use, which is natural light, via window to make my photographs look great."
