*Ever tried shooting portrait photography in harsh midday sunlight with just one light?*
That was the challenge I set myself in my latest shoot - underexposing the whole scene by nearly 4 stops and then using a single off-camera flash to bring the models back to life.The results? Deep skies, dramatic rock textures, and portraits that look like they were lit with multiple lights — all created with one setup.
I’d love to hear from you 💬 Have you tried one-light portraits outdoors before? What’s your go-to trick for handling harsh sunlight?
