Shooting outdoors scares many photographers.  It really shouldn’t though.  Think of it as recreating your studio light outdoors.  Yes you can use strobes but why lug out all that gear when you can achieve nice results with just one reflector, sometimes two.  My choice of color is white.  It looks the most natural and you can just use a piece of white poster board.  The larger the poster board, the softer the light because the source projects a broader spectrum of light. So in this example I was lighting my subject from head to toe.  I opted for a 6 foot tall white board, very inexpensive btw.  My assistant was standing  about 15 feet away from the model, which is far however he had no choice because the model was sitting under the roof of the stables.  So my assistant moved away until he caught the sun.
