Editing a portrait from straight to finish in Lightroom with Sony Artisan Chris Orwig

 

 

Sony Artisan of Imagery Chris Orwig has another new video for the Sony Alpha Universe YouTube channel, this time focusing on editing portraits in Adobe Lightroom. In the video below, Orwig shows us how to edit a portrait shot from start to finish within Lightroom Classic CC's Develop module.

The shot Orwig edits was captured using a Sony A9 with an 85mm prime lens. In the video, Orwig first goes through some basic adjustments, including using the exposure and contrast sliders. Next he dials in his white balance, which doesn't mean trying to make it a perfectly accurate shot, but rather capture the right feeling. In this case, he makes it warmer than the scene was to his eyes. To further accentuate the mood, Orwig ups the clarity slider while dropping the vibrance slider.
