There isn't a whole lot you can sometimes do about the sun. Of course, you can look for shadow coverage to make shooting in the sun a lot easier. But that is just a workaround that limits you on where you can be. So instead, you should find a way to shoot wherever you want. The key to doing this for natural light portraits is to find a way to soften the sun. Specifically, you need to soften the way that the sun hits your portrait subject. And trust us, it's a whole lot easier than you'd think.
