Natural Light Fashion Shoot On Location + Color Grading | Fashion Photography with Lindsay Adler

- Successful fashion shoots begin with a concept. What are you trying to achieve in this image, and how can you reinforce the concept/story with all of the visual elements? How can you make the posing, lighting, styling, and retouching work together for the most impact?
For this fashion shoot, my concept was to have an image of all golden hues. My idea was to have a nearly monochromatic image where everything was a sunset yellow/orange. The beautiful model would be standing in a pristine field of hay with beautiful golden light for a peaceful and romantic result.
To reinforce this concept we begin with a gold dress and golden wig, with makeup that mimicked the golden elements in the wardrobe.
Next, I decided to shoot this location later in the day for golden sunset light. This helped to create a romantic look with lighting that was already a warmer color temperature. I started by choosing a warmer white balance (cloudy) in the camera to help warm up the scene even more but knew I would push these hues even more in post-processing.
The heavily backlit shot gave me the dreamy vibes I was going for, but the model’s face was a bit under-illuminated. We introduced a white reflector opposite the sun (on the right-hand side of the frame) to create a soft bounce of light on the model. This helped direct the viewer’s eye to her face without creating a result that looked heavily lit. No strobe was necessary, and instead the subtle of the white reflector (30in) was closer to my vision.
I selected a Canon R5 and RF 24-70mm lens so that I could shoot at F2.8. This allowed me to shoot a slightly narrower depth of field so that the hay in front and behind the subject would be slightly out of focus.
Next, time for the color grading! I brought the image into CaptureOne to adjust the hues of the shot. Please note that Lightroom has similar tools that would allow you to achieve similar results.
There are three main adjustments I worked with to warm up the shot:
White balance: I warmed up the Kelvin color temperature to 12,000 degrees for an extremely exaggerated warmth to the shot.
Color Editor: I shifted the greens of the hay and field to yellow, then shifted all of the hues of yellow to have more of a red/orange. This instantly united all of the colors in the shot for a more monochromatic look.
Color Balance: Color balance allows you to add specific colors to the shadows, mid-tones, and highlights. For this shot, I added yellow/orange to the highlights and red/magenta to the shadows. This further emphasized the warm and painterly color palette/color harmony in this fashion shoot.
I had the color reinforced in the makeup, wardrobe, hair, and color grading, all resulting in a beautifully warm shot. Last, but not least, was to bring it all together with posing and composition, and create achieved several images that I adore!

Lindsay's work is always top notch!
Thank you for showing us your BTS in Capture One.
I always wanted to see your workflow in regards of color grading! Really hope to see more in the future or an online course!
Amazing shoot ! Very much inspired . ❤️❤️❤️🕺🕺🕺🕺
xoxo
thank you for knowledge!
Not muche to say, Lindsay Adler always killing it as usual ^^ Thank you for this quick and effective review, it's filled with so much good infos and tips !
Great work Lindsay many thanks
informative content.
Beautiful work
You are insane Lindsay 😍
Great video! Loving the color grading.
You're awesome Lindsay as usual! Thank you so much and Thanks to Adorama for these great tutorials!
Always makes me want to shoot more with my dancers!
Thank you for another great tutorial. Love the colors.
I love that Lindsey is so active in responding. Truly keeps her so down to earth and approachable to us fledglings. I loooooved this look and would love to recreate it for my upcoming self portraits.
Thanks so much! I mainly use Capture One nowadays.
Interesting tips on color grading, especially the green in grass. I often shy away from shooting around grass in bright sunlight because it gives a green color cast to skin tones. I'll keep in mind adjusting the yellows along with greens when trying to neutralize the greens. Thanks Lindsay.
❤❤❤ now I understand this color grading !
Fabulous video. I'm going to try this one when the sun returns to thy UK xx
Awesome!! Good tips for portrait photography. Thanks for your expertise.
Thanks, good tips
Beautiful❤
Thank you.
THanks for this and explaing colour grading that makes sense for my blonde brain to take in. I use Lightroom to edit as I am very partially sighted and my brain just can't handle learning a new ecosystem like Capture 1
thats fine! You can definitely do this vibe in Lightroom too !
Really good!!, the filming was gorgeous
my concern is to retain the true color of the wardrobe
Wonderful tutorial and BTS. When photographing, how do you keep the rim on the hair from being blown out from the sun, even with using a reflector?
🙏🙏🙏
LOVE LOVE LOVE. I've always disliked shooting in grass etc. But this is love!!!! Would this work as well with a model without reddish/orangish hair or a darker skinned model (more Latina)?
yep! That contrast would be lovely or you can color grade it to completely the tones you and your model discuss!
for sure! you could definitely warm things up and make it look sun-kissed. :D
😎🤝🤟🏼
Lindsay can I ask what profile you use to import into Lightroom using the R5? I love how capture one makes the color look more correct. Is there one you use that’s does a better job for Lightroom? Thanks in advance and thank you for your videos.
I really only color grade with capture at the moment, so it isn't a profile into Lightroom.
@@lindsayadlerphoto thank you I’m pretty much gonna do the same because capture one bring the colors in so much better in my opinion.
Perfectionist's question about the model's eye colour:
Her irises are blue, so grading toward yellow-orange makes them darker. Would it have been even better to shoot a model with light brown eyes? Or would you (maybe) retouch the eyes to make them golden? Or did the darker eyes after post not bother you?
Using F2.8 directly, wasn't it best to add an ND filter -3 in front .. or due to sunset the overexposure can be re-adjust later ?
I didn't need to add ND, since I could already shoot at 2.8. Not sure what you mean.
Wondering why you didn't raise the magenta when you were adjusting the white balance and wanted to reduce the greens?
I felt I could be a bit more precise on exactly how each color looked with the other tools-- aka could control exactly how much I shifted colors rather than just green to magenta, know what I mean?
@@lindsayadlerphoto I do. I usually try to get close with temp and tint first then fine tune with color mix/grading, but that's just me. Figured you had a reason for doing it your way and I always like to hear why people do things differently than I do. Always looking to learn a new trick or a better way.
@@jeffnewman8261 yea not particularly any genius behind my reason. :P
