Photography Lighting Tips: How to shoot in direct sunlight. Have you ever wondered whether you can still capture beautiful portraits, even in difficult lighting scenarios?
One of the best skills you can learn is how to shoot in direct sunlight – learning where to position your subject, and determining which angle is the best one to shoot from. As photographers, we can’t always control our lighting scenarios, and the reality is that there will be times when you want to take photos in lighting that is a little less than ideal.
Here is one example of a really difficult lighting scenario: a a really bright day, in full sunlight. There’s also nothing particularly beautiful about this setting, but the point here is that I’m going to show you how you can still get a really beautiful portrait, even in not-so-great-light like this.
