 Capturing Great Portraits Outdoors 

Another way in which a photographer may use good light to capture a portrait is by ensuring that the reflected light is less intense than the main light. When taking an outdoor portrait, the best portraits are those taken on overcast cloudy but bright day.  The reason is the fact that the clouds have the ability to diffuse the sun ensuring that the light is not extremely strong. Turning the subjects’ body away from the light at about 90 degrees also promotes the capturing of perfect portraits.
