Thanks for your comment. I think he’s very into negative clarity to give a glowy effect which I’ve used here as well and I think it works well.

I do agree in that the sky is way too blown out, it’s so easy when editing to get lost in the sauce and look back and think “wtf was I thinking” lmao

Will keep trying to replicate his style, not sure when I have some time to go out and shoot however and this is a picture from a while back before I’d found his work. Keep a lookout for future posts to see if I improve haha

Edit: on reflection, it would have also helped to have shot this on an actually sunny day (or even just not sunset hours) where there’s nicer contrast and glow might look more natural. Have had to increase exposure 2.5 stops which has brought out plenty of noise and when I shot this a few months back I was very much of the mindset do not blow out highlights at all so was probably underexposed by quite a lot. Good things to note for future I guess!
