In this easy Lightroom tutorial, learn 3 different ways you can edit your golden hour portraits. Golden hour and the afternoon in general is my favourite time of day for portrait photography. The light is directional and soft, giving you so much variety to work with. It’s also very flattering for portraits when shooting back-light as I did for this tutorial example image. This photo was taken on the Canon 5D mkiv and the Canon EF 85mm f1.2 II lens. You can watch the behind the scenes of this photoshoot here!

In this Lightroom tutorial I share how to edit a natural look for your golden hour portraits as well as a vintage/warm look and a cooler moody look. Depending on what kind of photo you are editing, you can use one of these 3 styles. For this photo in particular I think the natural and vintage colours suite the best.
