I would love to see the post production and color grading from raw to final 🙂

I loved the darker more dramatic shot. Very impactful and learning how to do the 2 styles was very informative

[JohnChubbSr]

Both are stunning photos; however, the dramatic look draws me into the shadows and highlights! Awesome!!!

Superbe travail. Le second style a ma préférence. 👍🏼

Love both final images, but the more dramatic one is my favorite! Great job!!

Love both Ashley! I do always tend to love the more dramatic look. Excellent tutorial, thank you!

Another beautiful job in this shoot! I learn towards the more dramatic but finding that good blind between both is my jam 😉🙌🏾
