@birdman , hope you don't mind a constructive thought. Sand at the beach is a natural reflector. Next time you're in these conditions have your subject position themselves in the shadow but just inside the transition from light to shadow. You then shoot from a position in front of them so that the reflected light is allowed to carress their faces. Meter for the face. That way you get even light across the body and no frown. Cheers.

thank you. Yes, I couldn't do anything with her that morning. She wanted pictures but no direction....after 15 minutes I gave up. I've never been comfortable doing shoots of people...maybe that will change
Ida, the model here, have moved quite far away to go to school, so I have to remind her, with edits of photos from one of our previous shoots, from time to time that we'll need to shoot again when she comes home to visit. Not only women that can be sneak :-) Nikon D810 - Sigma 50 mm Art
