This is discussed quite a bit out there, I’m going to give my opinion from a slightly less technical angle.
Natural lighting (to me) means SHOOTING ON LOCATION, which means taking an actor OUTSIDE, moving around, planning and prepping a little more with wardrobe. It loosens an actor up, it effortlessly changes how they interact with the camera, the lighting is different... all natural, but each location will have it’s own strong points.
So the ENERGY created by a location shoot is very helpful to both photographer and actor... plus the locations themselves provide a variety of textures, looks, moments that enhance your headshot and the particular vibe you are going for.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, according to all the casting directors I’ve spoken with recently... the “in” look right now is Natural light, On location headshots. Not so much for models, but certainly for actors. Does this mean I don’t think you can get good headshots in a studio? NO... of course not. However there do seem to be a few advantages to location/natural light shooting at this time.
