alexsmith66 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) I like this over-exposed look, but what is he doing? Is he using flash/umbrellas too? LINK LINK LINK LINK Edited July 17, 2020 by William Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Webster Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Given where the sun is, he's certainly using some kind of diffuse fill. I don't see any shadows on her dress, arm, etc. so I think a very large diffuse source, maybe directly in front of her. The bouquet casts a shadow on her leg, so maybe the source is a little above mid-line?? My $0.02 worth, I'm no expert and I'm sure someone will jump in and disagree with me quick enough.

hjoseph7 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) In all of them he seems to be letting the background blow out a little bit. I'm guessing +1 over compensation and a large fill light like someone else said, because of the lack of shadows. f2.8-f4 depending on the camera and lens...

SCL Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Or possibly an assistant with a large reflector. You might try contacting the photographer directly for a definitive answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_farmer Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 This look isn't hard to mimic whatever you use for fill light . . . Put the subject in shade with a brightly lit background and the background will blow out on it's own when you expose for the subject. You don't necessarily need to even use a fill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Michael Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Put the subject in shade with a brightly lit background I agree. This is the primary ingredient in each of the photos. WW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmowery Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Available light exposed for skin tones and lets the background blow out a bit. This technique has been done back in the film days. The other thing that's going on is the color grading during the processing. There are some desaturated plugins that create this color grade. I don't like the colors myself but many people do.

tomweis Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Expose for the skin (in this case maybe +1 stop with a spot meter). Bring the subject to the edge of the shady area so light from the ground kicks up into the subject. No fill light or reflector needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
