I edited the post so the photo can be seen now, Can you see it?Intrigued to see the pic, can't bring myself to look beyond this page though
Sure canI edited the post so the photo can be seen now, Can you see it?
yes, she saw, and she asked and i want to try this for her. do you have any tips or no? I love the style and would like to learn it also. thank you!Did your client see any of your work before booking you?
In my opinion the this situation is a bit like going to an Italian restaurant and asking for an Indian dish, each photographer has their own style and the client should be aware of this at the time of booking.
You need to investigate a style best summed up by Looks Like Film..
What are you using for editing? Lightroom?

And whaddayaknow, she's been featured in LLF - http://www.indiaearl.com/about/ (AWESOME!!!)
My guess is that a combination of VSCO/ASE/etc. is involved in the processing,plus some very individual tweaks. But remember, getting the look starts with the decisions you make before you press the shutter. If you're trying to edit the wrong type of starting shot, no amount of rolling it in glitter will get you to the result you're aiming for.
Just a few guesses..thank so much! yeah, i'm realizing maybe only one or two photos from her session will work. it was my first shoot so i have a long way to go! What would you say were the setting for this particular photo when it was shot? can you tell anything distinctive about it? thank you!
Just a few guesses..
If you read her Instagram/Facebook/blog text and comments you'll probably find quite a few hints.
- She's chasing the soft light, could be the canyon blocking direct sun and using the sky overhead as a soft light source or it could be time of day. This is critical to the end look.
- I'm guessing at a fast 35mm prime wide- or near-wide open.
- She's picking and choosing young and attractive couples as clients and posing/directing them into relaxed, fun poses.
- She's picking the right location and backdrop.
Hang around the LLF Facebook group and check the LLF Daily Update (on the LLF website) and you'll start to get a feel for which presets are quoted against which looks.
Looks like it was shot with very warm, directional but soft light. It's well lit from the right, but the shadows are dark. The skin colour of the couple is slightly tanned so you'd struggle with a pasty brit.
It's a tough one to replicate. Looking on her site, All of her photos have a muddy tone to them so definitely going to need a warm tone to the highlights.
Good luck if you try to replicate it. I'd be more tempted to edit yourself first in a style that suits the way you shoot and present that to the client and see how they feel about them.
Honestly you should forget about editing like that unless you're shooting in similar locations. What might work for one or two shots will screw up the rest as a set.
Look at every single photographer on LLF and you'll notice that they're all consistent with the way they shoot, locations and edits.
Slap one of those presets on a community centre wedding and you'll get a very different outcome
