SUMMARY
ND filters are valuable tools for location portrait photography. They help manage bright ambient light, enabling photographers to use wider apertures for shallow depth of field even in sunny conditions. This control over light also allows for creative effects, such as motion blur in moving elements within the scene. Gavin Hoey demonstrates how these filters can elevate portrait work outdoors.
