In stead of giant flags I’ve used large umbrellas with a c stand and boom arm to hold it over the subject. The umbrella takes up very little room when packing for a location shoots. It works really well for single portraits when the sun is blasting. This shoot sounds tough and you have to think on your feet when your subject is sitting there watching you sweat

This is great writing Adam, it gave me the same sense of slight panic that I have experienced before as well. Some useful lessons and whilst the shot isn't terrible, I can see why you would not be happy with it. Enjoyed reading that and thinking about what I would have done in the situation. Perhaps got him to try the t-shirt of your assistant for one!
