What are your tips for working with natural light?

Natural light shooting is all about balance! Not just light & shadow but also color. When you are shooting look for open shade away from swaths of grass in front of you because the light reflected back at the skin is typically green from the grass. Best bet: shooting with open road in front of the subject or sidewalk or even a neutral (read: gray or white) wall will work. Also Jerry's hand technique is something many of us have used for years. I often meter off my hand for my intial test shots; I use my hand to read directional light as well. Use what you got!
Sensational! Thank you for that interesting video, so much great information, very well explained!
Jerry is an amazing educator and a brilliant portrait and wedding photographer.

Probably for production purposes, to hold his framing and to allow him to pose the couple. I assume they were also capturing his live view through the z8 as he was working but didn’t use it for the final edit.

Agreed. Pointless. Just makes for a stiff portrait.
Jerry is one of the best out there. Great content and tips! Thanks to Jerry and BH for the vid!

Absolute maestro mate! - every time I see your images I think my gear is faulty! 😉
Great instructional video. I plan to show this to my hs photography students. For the first series of couple photos, f2.2 is a brave choice, yet the eyes of both appear tack sharp, requiring accurate focusing and eyes on the same plane. A higher fstop would be a bit more forgiving, if needed. Thoughts?
I understand about pointing the face upward toward the (sun)light, but how are you getting the exposure to not either blow out the highlights or shadows go totally black?
Beautiful tips Jerry. Full sunlight is less scary than many make it out to be, you just need to discriminate!! :D

Jerry knows his stuff.
What device is in the hot shoe of the camera? Isit a remote trigger for the shutter?
If this is a portrait, it's a picture of a particular person, and good manners require you to introduce her. --BAK
Joe McNally: ".... a pattern interrupted is even more interesting."
10:45 ISO 30 Why why why?
And we have back seat whiners saying we need f1.2 lenses as a first.
No sense in wasting sensor pixels, either.
