You should have a general knowledge of photographic technical terms such as &#8220;ISO&#8221;, &#8220;aperture&#8221;, &#8220;shutter speed&#8221;, and &#8220;metering&#8221; to get the most out of this article \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Okay! Let&#8217;s begin! As a natural light photographer, photographing\u00a0people in full sun came with quite a learning curve. I learned very quickly that placing my subjects facing the sun was a no-go; squinty eyes don&#8217;t look good on anyone! So, I started practicing back-lighting my subjects, or placing them with the sun\u00a0<em>behind<\/em> them.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge with shooting backlit (if you don&#8217;t want to end up with a silhouette) is that your in-camera light meter will pick up on the brightness of the sky and the surrounding atmosphere and indicate to you a &#8220;correct&#8221; exposure accordingly. So what? Well, since the &#8220;correct&#8221; exposure was determined by the brightness of the sun,\u00a0which is <em>behind<\/em> the\u00a0subject instead of\u00a0actually <em>lighting<\/em>\u00a0the subject, if I set my exposure based on my in-camera metering of the sky\u00a0my\u00a0subjects will end up being\u00a0very underexposed because they are not as bright as the sun. So&#8230; what to do?<\/p>\n<p>First, I start by finding a location to place my subjects in which there is a natural reflector, or something that will act to bounce the sun&#8217;s light back into my subject. Natural reflectors can be the ground, a wall, a building, etc. Anything that will act to bounce the light from the sun behind my subject <em>back into<\/em> my subject. In the case of these photos, the ground was acting as my natural reflector: the sun was bouncing off either the\u00a0warm-colored dirt (see photo below) back into my subjects, or off of the light grey sidewalk back into my subjects.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/thefreckledkeyphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Photographing-People-In-Full-Sun-Backlighting-Method-2016-10-22_0003.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[4619]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4630\" src=\"http:\/\/thefreckledkeyphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Photographing-People-In-Full-Sun-Backlighting-Method-2016-10-22_0003.jpg\" alt=\"photographing-people-in-full-sun-backlighting-method-2016-10-22_0003\" width=\"800\" height=\"1190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefreckledkeyphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Photographing-People-In-Full-Sun-Backlighting-Method-2016-10-22_0003.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thefreckledkeyphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Photographing-People-In-Full-Sun-Backlighting-Method-2016-10-22_0003-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/thefreckledkeyphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Photographing-People-In-Full-Sun-Backlighting-Method-2016-10-22_0003-768x1142.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thefreckledkeyphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Photographing-People-In-Full-Sun-Backlighting-Method-2016-10-22_0003-688x1024.jpg 688w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Second,\u00a0rather than metering to the sky, which will result in my subjects being considerably under exposed, I will either walk close to my subject and meter near their face OR I will meter to something close to where I am standing that looks to be in about the same intensity\u00a0of lighting as my subject (most of the time I will just look near my feet and meter to a portion of the ground that is in shadow &#8211; that will get me pretty close).<\/p>\n<p>Third, I take a few\u00a0test shots and adjust either my ISO or my shutter speed (I determine my aperture first &#8211; usually pretty WIDE OPEN because I loooooove bokeh!)\u00a0until\u00a0my subjects look to be correctly exposed as determined by the preview on the back of my camera.<\/p>\n<p>Okay! Let&#8217;s take a look at some before and afters for post-processing! I will type out my camera settings below each photo. For editing, I use Lightroom with a <a href=\"http:\/\/vsco.co\/store\/film\">VSCO preset<\/a> that I then go in and fine-tune (if needed). I really try to get a near-perfect shot straight out of camera and use Lightroom as a way to enhance rather than significantly alter\u00a0my photos \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a
