Shooting Outdoors

One thing you should keep in mind when shooting outdoors is the direction of the sun. Depending on where the sun is hitting the subject, it'll change the shadows on the subjects face, meaning that you need a reflector. Another thing to keep in mind is the amount of sunlight you have left. As the sun begins to go down, it'll produce less and less light, making it harder to light your subject. The last thing to keep in mind is the reflector side you're using. A reflector has two sides, a silver side and a white side that each do different things with lights. The white side produces a softer light on the subject, while the silver makes a harder light on the subject. When shooting outside, its important to know where your light is coming from and what you'r using to direct the light.
