So I teamed up with a local MUA and an aspiring model to shoot a halloweenish/mexican styled shoot.

I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.

Outside the tourist area photos.
These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Looks too bright, pretty, clean, and safe. And, the make up looks too typical of such events as Day of the Dead festivals.

Since we can't really see her face, there's nothing interesting about the image. Having a solid black background isn't helping. And, her hair at camera right is too bright.
Another thing that would help is more dramatic and/or cinematic lighting. There's a recent article on here about it. This is just one of many possible examples, I think the lighting on the video is more appropriate for the theme you are going for.

Thanks for the feedback! I will check out the articles you mentioned.
Agree on the lighting of her hair being too bright.
First class critique.
