Korean studio bright: soft, luminous pre-wedding portraits
The bright studio look of Korean pre-wedding albums: high, even brightness without clipping, low contrast, colour quietened toward cream and blush.
A look for one kind of ceremony. You choose it per project; CullTone never picks it from the people in the frame.
True to cameraKorean studio bright
Drag to compare. Left of the line is True to camera, the plainest look; right of it is Korean studio bright at full strength, rendered from the same file.
| What it does | High, even brightness, low contrast, cream and blush colour |
|---|---|
| Good for | Korean and East Asian pre-wedding studio shoots |
When we'd reach for it
Korean and East Asian pre-wedding studio and garden shoots, hanbok portraits, bright indoor ceremonies.
When we wouldn't
Night receptions. Bright and soft has nothing to work with in a dark room.
The recipe
These are the settings stored in the look, drawn rather than listed. They sit on top of your camera's own colour and the exposure and white balance CullTone sets for each photo, so the same look lands a little differently on every frame.
Every look has a strength from 0 to 1.5. At 0 you get the plain camera-matched edit, at 1 the look as drawn here, and above 1 more of everything it does. More on reading curves in tone curves for photographers.
