Can you not find a shaded area? Well, this is when you need to get creative when shooting in direct sunlight! Yes, you actually have to move some stuff around. No, this will not break your nails, you can do this. Just take anything you have that you think will help create a shaded area! Possibly you have an umbrella with you? A blanket or towel? We all have strange items in our cars, so work with that you have!
Instead of going back into your house, postponing the shoot and putting on Netflix, just move to another location! Were you attempting to shoot in a wide-open area of direct sunlight with no shade insight? Pack up your stuff and head to a park! You know and we know that parks have a lot of trees, so thankfully you have lots of shaded areas to choose from.
Cmon, just admit it, filters are amazing. For shooting videos, editing your videos and pictures, and especially for that new Instagram picture, you’re about to post.
