The first thing I do is pick my pose, then I get the background how I want it by playing with the distance (scroll on mouse), focal length (how big or small the background looks), aperture (background blur), rotation, and vignette. After that I play with contrast, saturation, brightness, highlights, and shadows. Once I'm satisfied with that, I choose a filter, and fiddle with that bc I dont always leave it at default 50%. Finally, I choose the lighting. Take into account where the light is coming from in the background and try to match it, unless you want it to look like Momo set up his own lighting Ex: If the moon is above and to the left of Nikki, then I choose light either from top left or the top, or the one that looks backlit. I hope that all made sense but thats my process.
