Direct sun is just fine
July 7th, 2008Yes facing the model into the sun with shadows on the face is fine. It’s a look, a style. The only people that don’t like shadows are modeling agencies. For this shot the models were facing the sun. I put sunglasses on them for styling. There are shadows on their legs and arms but so what. It looks cool ! The sky was colored that light green in post, and my retoucher desaturated the whole shot and boosted the contrast.

Thanks,

I feel like I know you so well Monroe lol
I love how many questions you ask. That is a very good thing !
This was all direct sunlight. I actually wanted to shoot some shots without the sunglasses’ however, it was sooooooooo hot 105 degrees, that I just didn’t want to put the girls through more hell.
