how to edit moody/romantic shots in lightroom

These two brought the spice when it came to posing, so I could focus more on how I wanted to make the photos look! I wanted to keep some of that contrast that made the image moody, while intentionally drawing the viewers eyes where I wanted them.

Every camera is different and everyone's settings they start off shooting in are different, so please keep that in mind if you use my settings to learn to edit in my style! Personally, I shoot with a Sony a7iii.

The most important thing is not the specific +/- settings themselves, but the patterns you see for each setting... bringing down the clarity, blacks, highlights, and contrast, and boosting the shadows, exposure, and whites. It takes time to learn so don't be afraid to play around until you feel like you're starting to understand how manipulating each setting works!
