People are always looking for romantic pictures for inspiration. This photographer has a great tips for creating portraits with that edge of romance. With some practice, you can make photos like these, too!
Sussie says:
“I was in a smaller city called Nettuno, 1 hour from Rome in Italy. I wanted to have variety of locations. So, I brought the beautiful couple to a forest, then later into the medieval city and ended the session by the ocean.”
Sussie’s Photography Tip for Romantic Pictures:
The gear that I use is Nikon d800 and the lens is Sigma FineArt 50mm. That’s it.
Less is more. I like to feel free as a photographer, to be able to be present as much as possible in the moment. So I prefer to work with natural light and that’s what I also did in this photo shoot.
I took the photos just a couple of hours before the sunset, in order to get softer and romantic light.
I usually use Pinterest or Belovelyyou to get some inspiration for the poses, but during the photo shoot I try to take it as it comes. Maybe I see something different or find a creative subject that I can play around with.
I also like to think in colours, so I always suggest the colours of the clothes that will suit the location. I’m a big fan of VSCO, it matches my photography style. It’s a filter that you can add either in LR or PS and it adds the film feeling over it.
I would say that the majority of my photos are romantic, dreamy and soft, so that is my goal during the editing process.
Sussie used a Adorama Nikon D800 with a Sigma art 50mm lens to capture these romantic pictures.
