[Fotografer]

So as most know I haven't done much in the way portraiture, so when shooting outdoors I am usually shooting with whatever natural light I have available and working with that the best I can.

 

That neeeds to change for me to improve the final result.

 

So I have a few pics as examples of some scenarios and some questions that hopefully I can answer myself and have somebody confirm or correct me.

 

1. So the first shot is how not to do it, shot on purpose. My model (my daughter with a tolerance of about 5 seconds) is looking back into the sun, squinting etc.

 

 

 

2. 2nd shot is with the sun at her back, but now requires fill light from the camera side.

 

 

3. Shot 3 has an off camera strobe (bare) at 45/45, but now requires some fill for the shadows on the left? I had a reflector but not the patience or anything handy to set it up. My shoot through umbrella self destructed when the stand it was on gently fell over in the slightest breeze, and then got destroyed when I attacked it for being so flimsy and it bit back cutting my thumb. So a bit of bounce back fill by an assitant holding a reflector (model left) would have worked well here to fill in the shadows a little?

 

 

4. Bare off camera strobe to my right ( I think?), to my eye this doesnt look too bad?

 

 

These are all test shots I took to prepare for a shoot with an 8 month old tomorrow evening, sand and a very young child will work out real well......

 

So these are up for discussion on the lighting, not compostion or PP as they are untouched from RAW and only resized and cropped slightly.

 

Am I on the right track with my analysis, am I missing anything obvious?

 

Any help/advice appreciated.

 

Cheers
