Mist Filter Magic: Dreamy Portraits in Chinatown LA

Get soft, dreamy portraits with a mist filter on your next shoot! Join me behind the scenes on a brand photoshoot session with the artist, Theredspirit. The concept? Think dreamy street photography in Tokyo, with these izakaya lanterns in the back mixed with those retro vibes from the movie Chungking Express. The biggest challenge for this shoot is finding the perfect place in LA that remotely resembles the uniqueness of Shinbashi. I decided on Chinatown in LA for its iconic neon lights and traditional buildings – it would be the perfect canvas to play with lights! The artist was looking for this dreamy bloom effect in the photos so I decided to try the black diffusion mist filter 1/2. Find out how I feel about it in the video!
