Q:Nice work, man. I really enjoy your stuff. I have a question about your portraits. Over Christmas, I tried to shoot some portraits but discovered that balancing light proved more difficult than expected. How do you avoid harsh shadows and over exposed highlights in your portraits? Do you use flash? Do you shoot at a certain time of day? Etc? Keep up the good work.

Thanks man, it really means a lot to me. For my portraits, I usually shoot in the late afternoon with the sun behind the subject. It doesn’t give harsh shadows and makes very neat sun flare shots at some angles.
