Help me create this Skin Tones on my portraits ///
Hi ya, I am struggling to get the following skin tones in my portraits. Preferrably, I would like to create them as Sony Picture Profiles or even Creative Styles. I want to create a Film-like workflow, where I shoot and then export uncompressed JPEGS straight from my A7R V. Any ideas on how to achieve this? If somebody knows a fast workflow, to work with RAW, I am also open to any input...
Here is an example of the look:
It seems to be kind of an orange/teal look in the skin with a blue-greenish tint in the whites. Thanks in advance for any input 🏆

Hei! Sorry for late reply, I just came back from my holiday.
Basically, you cannot fully recreate such a look in camera because you would need Hue and Saturation controls, which no camera that I know of has.
The science of this look is to bring both skin tones and reds as closely as possible in the orange area. This can be easily done in Lightroom or Capture One, but impossible to fully recreate in camera.
If you want a similar effect straight out of camera, you can try the following film recipes: Zero Mute, Estra 500, Sony Classic Negative, Sony Provia, Fuji Provia, Nostalgic Neg, Cinechrome & Cinestill 50D. While using film you will have to adjust the color phase to fine tweak the color of the skin.
These will give you a good base in terms of skin tones, but I still recommend using raw files for such a specific look.
Good luck!
