how we got these photos
1. shut off all of the background lighting to maximize contrast
2. ditch the flash!! use the ambient light coming from the fire to backlight our couple
3. focus on subtle moments inbetween poses and get. close.
4. embrace the grain!! pull warm tones in post with colorgrading & curves
5. sign up for a Cozy Creatives retreat with me and Kary l
Cinematic Photographer to capture concepts like this!!
