Hello, friends! Oh my goodness, I AM SO EXCITED TO SHARE THESE PICTURES WITH YOU. My aunt gave me some fairy lights and I had the brilliant idea to play around with some pictures in the dark. Well, I did. And guess what: I LOVED it! My friend Ceci was coming over to model for shoot and I had another brilliant idea: use her as a guinea pig to do cool stuff with fairy lights AND sunsets! And I did, and AHHH THE PICTURES TURNED OUT SO WELL.
Now, this style of photography is like, polar opposite from what I generally do. XD But that’s okay! One of my goals for the month was to take more pictures and I do like exploring different styles. Tomorrow, I’m posting the bright and airy photos from the first part of her shoot on my website, you can check them out if you like.
First, here are the pictures I did by myself in my room with my remote.
It took quite a few adjustments to try and figure out how to edit these pictures, but once I figured it out, I made a couple Lightroom presets that worked for them all! And now…for the outside pictures with Ceci. 😉
I edited the top one differently from this one, just to try out a couple things. I love how the sunset looks! It really didn’t look like that at ALL in person, I had to really edit it. Which do you before?
So what do y’all think? Do you like the dark, dreamy, moody style? I will probably never shoot professionally like this for all too many reasons, but it really is fun to play around with. Which were your favorite photos?
