Working on location, as if it were a photo studio.
On the right side we have a large building, which blocks the direct sunlight, and behind her on the left is the Klokgebouw, which works as a reflector and provides a hairlight for both her hair and her right arm.
At the right front, light shines along the building, illuminating her face.

I am standing on the shadow side of her face, the shadow creates depth in the photo on the one hand, but also atmosphere on the other.

Even though I have no control over the sunlight, I can translate everything back to how I would have placed my studio lights in a studio.

On location, it is mainly the art of learning to see and analyzing how light and shadow work. Actually it's not difficult, if I can do it, anyone can.
