NATURAL AVAILABLE LIGHT — the scene is lit ONLY by pure ambient daylight. No artificial lighting, no studio lights, no flash. The overhead sky is softly overcast creating a giant soft diffused light source. The light wraps gently around her face with soft subtle direction, enough to show form but with no harsh contrast. No dramatic shadows, no specular highlights. The overall feel is entirely natural and candid, as if the moment was grabbed during a real walk through the bamboo forest. Whatever light was available — that is the light in this image. Everyday, honest, documentary.
