The trench coat is a staple of "sunlit" photography because of its texture and movement.

If the clouds roll in, use a portable strobe with an orange (CTO) gel. Aim it from a high angle to mimic the warmth of a setting sun. 4. Post-Processing for the Final Look

Slide your white balance toward the yellow/magenta side.

Forget speedlights. For true sun-shaping power, use a portable 200W or 400W battery-powered strobe (like the Godox AD series or Profoto B10). They fit in a backpack but provide enough "punch" to compete with the sun.

If you are looking to capture that high-end, "sunlit" look on the go—specifically for outdoor fashion shoots involving classic pieces like trench coats—

The rigid collar and belt of a trench coat contrast beautifully against the soft, diffused light of a "sunlit" afternoon. 2. The Portable Kit: Essential Gear

Bring down the highlights slightly to ensure the "sunlit" areas of the trench coat retain their fabric detail rather than blowing out to pure white.

Position the sun behind your model. This creates a glowing "rim" around the hair and the shoulders of the trench coat. Then, use your portable strobe with a softbox to fill in the face from the front.
