and still take it the same position? How do you fix it on your camera?

You move your subject out of line with the sun and take another picture.

The problem has to do with how you are metering your photo. The camera has no idea what your subject is, all it basically knows is that the overall scene is really bright and to compensate it is using either a smaller aperture if you are in aperture priority, or a faster shutter if you are in shutter priority.
The solution is simple, first put your camera in full manual mode. Then, get really close to your subject so that the subject is filling up the majority of the screen. Take note of your aperture and shutter speed. Finally step back to the position where you want to take your photo and voila, the subject should be exposed properly, though your background is now going to be quite light, but this is what you have to sacrafice to get the subject perfectly exposed

When you take a picture in direct sunlight, always use the flash. The flash fills in all the shadows and makes the subject look so much more pleasing :-)

1. Use fill-in flash(small flash in front of your compact/SLR camera is sufficient). OR
2. Use reflector to lighten your subject's face. OR
3. Use manual exposure mode(if your camera have one-SLR).Open 1-2 f/stop. OR
4. In Photoshop(or other editing prog), click Image-Adjustments-Curves or/and Brightness/Contrast.

It's sound like visual arts photography, or you could use bounce flash with Lightsphere,using ISO 400 film speed,shutter speed 1/15 seconds,aperutre at f/8,try it now.

You have to use fill light to light the face equal to the background, or meter for the face and let the background blow out. Or decide to shoot a silhouette instead.

- Dial in exposure compensation (+2 stops or so)
- Zoom in on the subject, use AE Lock, re-compose
- Use fill flash

use fill flash or manually meter for the shadow - the second technique will produce a "halo" effect
