ShutterFest Educator: Scott Robert Lim

Tell us a little about yourself and your studio.

I’m a self-taught photographer, but was a graphic designer for 12 years before I started my photography career. I always thought of myself as more of an entrepreneur than an artist. Whenever there was an art project at school, I would never get a good grade, so I never saw myself as an artist because I can’t draw worth a lick. However, with the advent of the computer and digital photography, I was able to translate my artistic skills into a medium more suited for my skill set. I always had a knack at selling, which has helped my photography career immensely. I also love talking and getting to know people, and I’ve always enjoyed teaching. I started teaching about eight years ago, and transitioned my career to education about five years ago. I realized I could not do both teaching and have a serious wedding photography career at the same time, especially if I wanted to spend quality time with my wife and two girls.

My greatest accomplishment is being married to my loving wife for more than 25 years. I feel so blessed my family got to celebrate our silver anniversary in Paris last summer, the birthplace of my photography career.

Outdoor Portraits Using a Reflector // Westcott Fusion

Harsh sunlight? No problem. You can create stunning portraits with nothing more than a reflector and clever use of blocking techniques. In this photography lighting tutorial, we use the Westcott Fusion which gives us several variations for lighting control.

Natural light photography doesn’t have to be flat and boring. Using a reflector can add dimension and that pop of life into your subjects eyes. If you have ever wondered how to use a reflector for outdoor photography – this video is for you.
