In this video, I’ll show you how to create a painterly fashion portrait shot against a Mediterranean landscape backdrop by Framatica. Drawing inspiration from Renaissance paintings, I’ll show you how a simple one-light setup and creative color grading can give the final image a soft, painterly feel. I explain how lens choice and aperture help shape the scene, and show you how bouncing light off a wall creates soft, flattering illumination for both the subject and background. Then, I’ll bring everything together in Capture One, adjusting the shadows, midtones, and highlights to create a cohesive color palette. 👉 Check out Framatica's backgrounds: https://framatica.com/product-category/backdrops-for-photographers/backdrops-by-type-of-photography/fashion-photography-backdrops/ 💡Lighting ✅ Single Large umbrella with diffusion 🖌 Post Processing In Capture One, I use the Color Balance tool to create a painterly look, adding pink to the shadows, a subtle green tint to the highlights, and red-orange warmth to the midtones. These adjustments help bring the portrait and background into a cohesive color palette. I also explore contrast, clarity, and exposure adjustments before applying the grade to incoming images so I can preview the look as I shoot. 📸 Camera Settings: ✅ 1/160 ✅ F/1.2 ✅ ISO 100 📸 Gear featured in this video: ✅ Framatica Mediterranean Vista fabric backdrop: https://framatica.com/product/mediterranean-vista-1/ ✅ Canon EOS R5 Mark II: https://prf.hn/l/ZQ4yPV9/ ✅ Canon 85mm f/1.2 lens: https://prf.hn/l/KjNLVQy/ ✅ Profoto D2 (retired): https://prf.hn/l/K9ENnmk/ ✅ Profoto Large Umbrella w/ diffusion: https://prf.hn/l/Mb91VR8/ ✅ Profoto Connect Pro Wireless Transmitter for Canon Camera: https://prf.hn/l/9O5A1DW/ ✅ Avenger D600 boom arm: https://adorama.rfvk.net/XRdAG ✅ Savage C-Stand: https://adorama.rfvk.net/J1ZW2 ✅ Tether Tools TetherPro Optima 10G 16' USB-C TetherBoost Extension Cable Black: https://prf.hn/l/9OkRLZa/ ✅ Te
