Hey, I'm getting into a lot of on-location photoshoots, mostly portrait and band photography. I've decided the best route to go is probably with speedlights rather then lugging around studio photography everywhere I go.
I'll probably have a few questions throughout this thread, but my first is about power. Do speedlights generally have enough power to effectively overpower the sun? For instance if you had a picture of somebody with the sun in the background (without flash the picture would be a silhouette), could you properly expose the person as well?
Here's two examples of what I'm kinda talking about:

Thanks,
