I am so glad to come across your channel!!! You have a new sub 👍 Great content ladies !!!!

[@krystiebartlett7010]

You are both very generous with your teaching! Thank you!

[@joeyrobertson4926]

Spotty light which you mentioned at the end of the video has been my biggest issue. Thanks for the tips! 📷

[@TwoCaptainsOneShip]

Nice video. You don’t mention if you use any fill flash on the back lit photos. Guessing you just over expose by +1 - + 2…and turn down the highlights in post? Thanks. You ladies do great work.

[@PhillipBassPhotography]

My biggest struggle with photography has been the sun. I live in SW Florida and it is usually very bright and sunny here. I really appreciate the tips from you on this subject and look forward to future videos.

[@amandasmith8649]

Thanks!! This was very helpful. You guys are awesome

[@neighborhoodandrew]

Appreciate you ladies! Thanks for the tips. I appreciate that you put the "ok" examples plus your "great" examples.

[@erikadancerqueen]

Thank you!!!

[@cryptographerchris4856]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing.

[@bethanyhouk7536]

For me, it’s harder to edit when using shade, or with the subjects back to the sun. The subject always looks dingy/dark. Frustrating. Good tips, thank you!

[@joehall7869]

Hi do you ever under expose so you don’t blow out the highlights. Example a bright white wedding dress. Thanks

[@denzelandshanelle]

Beautiful I just subscribed

[@AbbyFox-lr8cq]

The thing that is frustrating me most is the WHITE sky. It is so frustrating when there's no variation with clouds, etc. Thanks for always sharing your tips! Very informative!

In those cases I try to shoot with the sky not in the background by changing the angle or background. Or find open shade.

[@lexy6090]

I usually take a faster/darker pic to get the shade of the sky and then edit that one into the pic where it's blown out.

Thank you

Could it be different if the type of photography were documentary or like an environmental portrait? Harsh light on the face might work
