    The "slim down" complaint. It's just subjective. Also, he's showing what you can do in the software. It doesn't mean "you" have to do it.

      @@Harvester88 Definitely invest in a good hot shoe flash. I've never used the Godox V100 (i think that's the model) but I've heard great things. As a Sony shooter, I used the HVL-60RM on a shot and really liked the results. It's a Sony flash that works well with it.

    Always love your photos Manny. Your portraits are the best I've seen. I'm not a fan of Luminar though. Some of the edits look like what the Google Pixel phones do. Artificial and over processed. Others may like this though. So I can understand there's a market for it.

    I feel this is more of a budget gear shoot, I mean an R8 and nifty 50, but getting back to portrait photography... probably better to show off composition in camera with available lighting...but had to wait to see the POST technique to see this... using the sponsor instead of in camera. You Nailed the time of day issue, but a good reflector instead of lights could have been a great addition.

  • @zudor6125

    If you can't manipulate harsh noon lighting without a ND filter you don't know what you're doing. Notice manny didn't need one right? He struggled a bit because the model was too pasty had he went with a model with darker skin the light would've been absorbed better instead of bounced back into the lens. Darker skin bmodels always make for better portraits
