>>2869427I tend to keep my editing in LR, but what you said still applies, I personally don't like to go super heavy on the editing so when I'm out shooting I try to get it close to what I want in camera as possible. The image you edited was straight RAW, no edits except a crop to make it straight.
>tell them at next photoshoot that anon likes it.Lol I'll definitely tell them that a internet stranger thinks they're attractive, it'll boost their confidence.
>>2869433Okay now that sounds more concise and less condescending than your previous comments. There's definitely more skill than using a pop-up flash when you use an off-camera speedlight, I'd admit not much though. I look at this image guide to help eliminate a lot of that guessing work.
I ultimately would love to get a decent 600w/s strobe, but those are very spendy, and I didn't know if I would like portraiture. So far I do like portraiture, but I'm not confident enough/knowledgeable to justify spending a few hundred dollars on JUST a strobe. I would also need to get a C-Stand, which is another $100, because I wouldn't trust my shitty stand now to hold it up. Also another $100-$200 on proper soft box for the strobe. I've got a shitty soft box that I have for my speedlight, but I don't use it because it's a pain-in-the-ass to setup on location, so I stick with a shoot through and reflective umbrella for quickness.
