During the dark December days it’s difficult to make use of daylight for book photography. Taking photos by the window is much easier in summer. In winter or during monsoon seasons, it can be fairly dark, even by the windows. I try to combat that by taking photos outdoors but that doesn’t work in torrents of rain. This means I have to make do with window light.
