Poolside Dating and Lifestyle Portraits, Theatre District

Wendell and I had a had a super fun 1-hour portrait session, where we captured a variety of looks for him to use on his social media accounts and on dating apps. We were definitely fighting the weather that day as we did end up getting caught out in the rain a bit while we were shooting poolside, which sort of forced us into the building’s lounge area where we took some lovely indoor shots as well.

Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D850 using an f/1.8 50mm prime lens, and all individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using custom-built presets.
