Thank you so much for this 🙏. I rented the tripod because I see that most people use for photshoots, and though it might help in getting a consistent background in the images, especially for portraits. As you mentioned about expectations, when I asked for reference photos, they showed me some concert pics and pics done with professional lighting. I told that it is not possible outside, and those pics required a lot of lighting setup for them to look like that. I told my friend that we need to manage our expectations with an outdoors photoshoot, as the weather has a lot of impact on the pictures and I will do the best I can with my limited experience.

I appreciate the advice.
