My top tips for Portraits that Pop…
Lighting, we used 2 x Octobox modifiers on Godox Outdoor AD600 BM lights, set at 1/8 power and 1/32 power.
Kit, my trusty Canon 5D Mark 4 with an 85mm prime lens. ISO 100 f5.6 1/125
Poses are relaxed and fun, direction is given and poses are modelled by me. Shoot was tethered so we can see the images as they happen.
Edits made in Lightroom and we boosted the texture, clarity, dehaze and colour. I also added grain to give the colours more depth.
