Manny Ortiz is a portrait photographer who loves shooting into the setting sun, and he fine-tuned these ten looks across a full year of client sessions.
They pour warmth and glow into a photo, ease the shadows and keep skin believable instead of orange. They can also bring life to pictures taken in plain, neutral light.
Most of the looks are labelled with a time of evening or a type of light, from late-afternoon hours through dusk, sunrise and sunset, which makes it easy to pick one that matches your session.
Usable in Lightroom on computer or phone, Mac or PC, with RAW and JPEG files.
