Modelling Shoot with Zero Mute

I did my first modelling shoot for a long time yesterday, with Selina, and it was my first chance to properly try these simulations, almost entirely with Zero Mute. I'm not sure I've ever taken a shot straight from camera and delivered it with no edits before, but I could do that with a lot of the shots this time!

This was the first shot, straight from camera:

For a few shots, I let Apple Photos do its 'auto' thing, which gave a warmer tone, but still mostly needed no further editing, like this:

They're definitely doing what I wanted - less time spent editing, with only the tiniest of tweaks needed.

These look great! Especially loving the background in the first one, and skin tone is on point.

Glad you are enjoying the recipes :D

Can't wait to see more from you!

Thank you! The skin tones were my only concern, as I hadn't had chance to test before the shoot, but I needn't have worried. They came out really nicely.

My next experiment is trying to replicate a particular pale pastel look I see a lot in Japanese photography. I found the tip that it's based on Portra, so I've taken the Portra 800 simulation and reduced the saturation. Over-exposing it a bit gives something pretty close to what I'm looking for, from a very quick test. I think with a few more tweaks and the addition of a mist filter, maybe the Tiffen Glimmerglass, it'll be about as good as I can get with the dull overcast light around here at the moment!
