Do You Need a Bigger Flash for Outdoor Portraits?

Is a 200Ws flash enough for outdoor portraits in the Arizona sun? I took the Godox AD200 Pro II outside to find out. Using one AD200 Pro II and a 90×90 cm softbox, I photographed Emily in direct sunlight, cloud-filtered daylight, a heavily clouded golden hour, and blue hour. You’ll see the finished portraits, the settings behind them, and how the flash’s working distance and power changed throughout the shoot. If you’re wondering whether a compact flash can handle your outdoor portraits—or whether you need a bigger strobe—this test should help you decide. Which set of portraits is your favorite?
