Applying studio lighting techniques on location

Cloudy day, subject placed under a roof with the main light source coming in from camera left.  The roof is preventing any of the light coming from the top avoiding the condition called "racoon eyes."  The light coming in from the side also creates texture and form on your portrait subject and the gentleman behind her.  There is also light coming from behind and above the subject sing she was on the edge of the roof creating a hair light.  The large lens opening and the longer focal length throws the background out of focus
