Overcast Daylight

As lighting for character portraits

overcast daylight — lighting reference image

Flat, even, shadowless grey light. It sounds dull but it is the most honest light there is — every texture and color reads exactly as it is, which suits grounded, realistic characters: farmers, soldiers, common folk. Pairs with earthy, desaturated palettes.
