✦ Time of Day Matters
✦ 1-2 hours after/before sunrise and sunset = warm tones, even illumination, softer shadows
✦ Mid-day = hard light, harsh shadows, unattractive shadows under eyes/nose/chin
✦ Look for shade or diffused light, avoid dappled light
✦ Position subject with back to sun if no shade
✦ Use reflectors to bounce light back onto subject
✦ Consider using your flash outdoors for fill light
