On the problem of filling light in outdoor portrait flash

When shooting people in light-colored clothes, try to avoid shooting completely against the light. You can change the shooting angle slightly and turn it into a side backlight. Then, the light ratio will not be too big. Even if you don't turn on the flash, you only need to recognize this person's face. If necessary, adjust the exposure compensation according to the exposure effect.

If you have to turn on the flash and use the built-in flash that comes with the camera, you can keep the camera away from people. As long as it is within the flash index, the farther the distance is, the softer and more uniform the fill light effect is.

Try not to use flash unless absolutely necessary. Flash will destroy the sense of scene of photos and even produce ugly shadows. Except for professional models, most people will be embarrassed and unnatural because of the bright light for a moment.
