Livia, bring that reflector up head height. There you go. Step into him a little bit, right there. And then open it just a tiny bit. So come to my site a tiny bit and then come out a little bit this way. There you go.

Okay, and then why don't we have you go behind the head so you can see where the lights hidden. There you go. There you go. and kind of get it right on their heads. They're perfect. Don't lean into them bring the hand up to his chest again.

There you go. Love that. He looked down towards her. Look at each other. When you guys look at each other, I want you guys to look at each other's eyebrows. Okay?

It's a little bit weird. I know. You guys probably don't sit around the couch looking each other's eyebrows. Okay, go for a little Peck guys. Perfect. What I want to do is get a couple like candid shots.

We're gonna go for a couple close up candidates. So the the poses perfect. What I want you to do is lean onto his chest again. Okay, and almost like Good. Imagine that I'm not here basically right now I know it's hard with my loud voice and Persian chest hair, and all that stuff that makes it impossible to ignore me. But yeah, I'm I close it all off, we don't want to reveal anything.

Okay, so step a tiny bit to the side guys perfect this right there what we're gonna do. And by the way for the viewers out there, I'm not sure which camera to talk into I'll just talk into this one for the viewers, I want you guys to know I'm shooting on a 50 right now because I actually want an 85 millimeter focal length for the compression the background, but guess what, this is a crop brain body, we're going to talk about that or we have talked about that. But either way, a 50 millimeter on this body is more like an 85. Whereas on a full frame camera, I would need to be using 85. So that's why we're using the 50. Normally, for these kind of shots, I would not use a 50 on a full frame camera because well, it's going to give me a little bit of distortion, it's going to give me just around the edges.

It's not giving me as good of a look at the 85 foot so let's go ahead and Get the shot. Christina has leaned on to his chest a little bit just like that. And what I want is you're gonna kind of look towards the light Chris needs to kind of be on that side key they're gonna look down towards her and Christy on the back just grab those flyaways real quick in the hair. You're totally fine that's perfect, perfect. Just like that. Okay, just like that you didn't have to lean on right there.

I just want you guys to kind of what I want is Keith if you got some sort of smooth line whisper in your ear and then look down kind of towards each other. And I want to get that lap right as Christie and Christie can't keep the chin down kind of look over to the light. All right right there. Let's wait for this random person to be go by. I know this is like this is like a surprise. That's so awesome.

Christine right there. Look up at me right there. Turn chin down a little bit right there. Perfect. And then tilt the head a little bit in the key. There you go right there.

Perfect, just like that. All right. I love that. Look. That's so perfect. What I want to do is from this pose, Keith, what I want to do is you lean kind of into her so lean over a little bit hugger around her, not around her chest area, because that's kind of grab se, but, like right above the breasts.

There you go. That's such a weird word. I don't like saying that word. breasts right above the breasts. Okay. Yeah, maybe in a more it's a little bit.

It feels a little bit tight. So maybe kind of more casual with that. Like choking her. Yeah, exactly over the full Nelson. Okay, drop the hand down a tiny bit. There you go right there.

Perfect. We can see But that one's covered up fortunately. Don't worry about it. But it's comfy. Olivia Can you grab the silver and the white? What I want is so Keith, bring that face in, bring that face.

Okay, and then let's go up on the silver and come right in on their faces. So I want you to go all the way over to a shoulder. There you go right there. Perfect. Okay, and you can even tilt the side and a little bit more. Perfect.
