Aaaand I'm back with the second set of images from our couple's day out.
We decided to change outfits and location.
It was during this session that I learnt a valuable lesson: never try to fight the sun! 😅😅😅
It was almost midday, and the cloud cover from the day before was well and truly gone. The harsh sunlight was really bad for portraits, but I did the best I could.
No shoot is complete without my assistant's goofy photo 😂
Let me share some golden nuggets I learnt from this outing.
First of all, when you're in bright sunlight, FIND SHADE! that should be the number 1 priority. Shade will enture that direct, bright light is more diffused.
Secondly, get a giant diffuser. This is an inexpensive alternative, if you absolutely have to shoot in sunlight. There are many 5-in-1 reflectors that have a diffuser.
Next, just avoid the sunny time of day entirely 😂
Shoot early in the morning, or at sunset, to save yourself headaches.
Any advice and suggestions are welcome!
