I love the angle of this shot as it covers the lady elegantly dressed, also the building and a bit of nature (the sky and sun kissed dress). Definitely a lovely sight to behold. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words...

Glad you like it. Thankful that I stuck to maximizing the sun and the environment in framing the shots. I was initially tempted to completely artificially create the shots with lighting equipment.
Thank you so much.
I've heard people say natural lighting is the best for photography. Especially between 8-10 am or at evening time.
Probably you can shed more light in subsequent posts about natural lighting. Would be glad to read about it from you 😁
Well, for this shoot, we did it at about 1pm in the afternoon, at an elevated location. So the sun was blazing hot upon us.
We basically made use of a mixture of the shades and the harsh sun. We bounced off the sunlight using reflectors to soften the light where needed.
I think it's just about making the best use of what you have to work with.
To make the best use of softer sunlight, I'd say the best times to shoot here in Ibadan are between 9-11am when the sunlight is not yet directly above, and 6-7pm when the sunlight is setting and giving the beautiful sunset orange tone.
I'd probably consider exploring how I understand lighting and how I light my shots in a video.
Unfortunately, I hear 3speak is currently down. Perhaps when it's back up.
This is very informative. Thank you so much sir.
