If your shooting late in the day with that beautiful gold contrasty light but its going as the sun goes down.
I am often in this situation but still need to shoot pictures that day.
Like on a shoot I was doing in Wester Australia last December for a swimwear catalogue for MISSKINI.
We were shooting our last collection of swimwear for the day but the sun was going down very fast and I still had 4 shots left and they need to have a concistency with the rest of the shots Id been doing.
This is how I got over the problem:
I had an assistant holding a 1mtr gold foil reflector up to the side of myself so if I aim a flash gun onto the reflector it would bounces lovely golden light onto my modeI, I set the flash exposure to be approx 1 to 2 stops under the ambient reading taken from my models position.
This is one of the shots taken this way.
