Taking pictures on a sunny day can be tricky! But if you know a few things, you can still get some wonderful shots without the dreaded closed eyes or shadows under your eyes.

Face away from the sun. Keep it at your back! This’ll instantly help!

The shade is your friend. Staying in the shade can give you smooth lighting and help prevent having dark circles under your eyes.

Aim to take pictures with a reflective area in front of you- like a gravel pathway, white cement, or even a parking lot! This’ll help keep your face lighter even with your back to the sun!
