    You do amazing golden hour pics! Eve's features have "wood nymph" and/or "tree faerie" vibes, I only wish you had given her wings 😉

    Have you tried the new features in Capture one, on separating subject and background?, also i was just wondering if you have noticed the EF 1.2 lenses seem to be a little more Buttery than the RF 1.2 lenses. I sold my EF 85 1.2 lens for the new RF but kept my EF 501.2 over the RF 50 1.2. The RF lenses are incredibly sharp though and Sharper sometimes to sharp lol. Have a great day you do Amazing work and Videos.

    This is so beautiful and inspiring ! I LOVE how you can capture the light and make it magical, like in a fairytail. Thank you for the tip for "highlight" the model. I didn't know how to do that and it will definitly help me <3

    The colors are awesome, don't you use any presets?

  36. @DethronerX Avatar
    @DethronerX

    I really like that it's both direction and spontaneous situations by both the model and yourself.
    I wanted to ask, was it intentional not to use an ND (I didn't notice one) and a lens hood? I think you wanted to get the dreamy light smearing? But you also said you preferred your sharper Lenses, so I think the hood may have given it some. An ND might have given you more of the highlight details in the sky and hair, but maybe you wanted it this way.
    But in any case, it really looks great, the whole process of this, when even a photographer leaves many things to happen on their own naturally.

    Well, that shots on the old EF 85mm 1.2 are the best here. They are definitely not the sharpest, but looking so dreamy, almost fairytaile, also that bokeh is incredible (sorry RF guys, old but gold 😉)
