I'd appreciate your comments. These are taken using Natural lighting without reflectors . Performed some sharpening.

I'm highly considering using strobes in the near future.

Thanks

these are pretty good for direct sunlight. in my (limited) experience, reflectors work better than strobes as you don't have color balance issues and the light tends to be softer. I prefer to avoid direct sunlight altogether.

Thank you for the reply.

It was quite a challenge finding the proper angle that'll prevent the subject from squinting. On the second shot, I had my subject closed her eyes while I focus then fired a shot as soon as she opened. A work around.

I'm also looking for some filters for direct sunlight, any suggestion?

hmmm. . . no. . . nothing. . .

Like to change the color balance? Shoot RAW and the whole issue goes away. No?
