In this lesson, Asya will share her approach to creating ethereal and cinematic bridal portraits, focusing on the interplay of light, landscape, and the fluid beauty of bridal gowns. You will learn to orchestrate these elements into a cohesive work of art, producing images that resonate with the romantic and timeless essence of the editorial style.
