It was nice to get out and photograph a portrait shoot again, and with the lovely Jessica too! There was a look I wanted to achieve, things I wanted to try with lighting and the weather was great. We were at the wonderful Neath Abbey Ruins in Neath, South Wales for this incredible shoot.
Armed with the Nikon ZF with the Z50mm F/1.4 and the Nikon Z6ii with the Z35mm F/1.4 and TTArtisan 11mm F/2.8 fisheye we also used two light sources, with the Godox AD200 and the Godox TT685 and set out to have a fun day.
If you click on the images to see them full size, you will see that the first image is actually in landscape orientation, so give it a look! I went for a slightly different look between the white dress and the black dress with my editing, because I think they evoke very different feelings.
All images were edited in the latest version of Luminar Neo, and all images were shot at ISO400 with an aperture of F/5.6-F8. I just wanted to see how they looked not shooting my trade-mark wide-open. For a few of these images I actually ended up using Luminar to add background blur, as I just like that look, and it is my way of shooting. You never do too much photography to learn things along the way about yourself.
I shot just over 100 images, and I have shared quite a few over on my Facebook page and photography Facebook page.
