I want more quality photographs like these on Fstoppers. Quality lighting and processing. I can’t stop coming back to this post.

As mentioned above, Phil Borges was knocking out stunning portraits long before Joey L turned up….just take a look:

A strobe used on location could hardly be called a style. JoeyL wasnt the first to do it, the techniques been around for 30 odd years now. The Technique used in this case is secondary to the actual visual that is being created and shown, and the actual visuals are stunning(irrespective of strobe or no strobe)
before JoeyL there was Phil borges shooting strobes in far away locations. Point being, technique and style are two distinct things.

Joey L didn’t invent the concept of taking a light on location.

Checked out your work – it’s terrible. You’d probably love studio light if you knew how to use it.

don’t go all strobist… natural light is allways the best light… stop trying to bring the fuckin’ studio with you…

First thing i thought when i saw these shots was looks like Joey L. Crazy such a young guy has a recognizable style.

Great Shots regardless! Super inspiring – thanks for sharing!

The framing of the images is almost identical to the framing of the images of Joey as well as the color grading. The photographer also desaturates his images (at least th ones seen above). But as I said above. These are good portraits. In fact they are more than just good, but they don’t capture my eyes.
