In this shot a round reflector is to the right. It is the black spot on the bottom right. The sun is behind the model to the left. I used a silver reflector to light up the model.

So it's basically a method of indirect lighting to soften the light on the subject + lighting the background as well?

 

Yes. Direct sunlight is very harsh. This method helps wrap the subject with light and they don't have the sun in their eyes.

 

Long day in the heat.

Those boots would look good propped up on my headboard.

 

I'd let her tie me up.

 

Not a fan of the boots + sundresses combo. Looks weird to me.

 

they'd look even better propped up on my shoulders!

 

We were done with the shoot and about to head out. For fun I usually have one picture with the model and my car.
