CLEAN Portraits with MANUAL settings (easy) feat. the Sigma 56mm 1.4 

CLEAN Portraits with MANUAL settings (easy)
In this video I explain how I set my camera up to shoot nice, clean portraits using manual settings. The best part is that all the settings remain the same except for one, which makes for nice easy shooting.
0:00 Intro
0:39 Camera Settings
5:58 Example Shoot
8:31 Lightroom Walkthrough
After I've explained the settings I then head outside in real-time with Tia, take a quick few snaps, then bring them back into Lightroom so that you can see the full process from start to finish.
I found it a huge step once `i started shooting in Manual mode compared to an auto/priority mode because you can really start to take control of the images coming out of your camera, as opposed to letting the camera guess what it thinks is best.
The shots are taken on the Sony A6500 & Sigma 56mm 1.4 lens in the example shoot however this technique will apply to any other camera system.
Hopefully it comes in useful -if it does go ahead and smash that like button! (That's what all the cool kids say isn't it?)
