How can I get this effect?

[Trever1t]

it's definitely not an in-camera function. Post Processing.

Okay perfect!

Thanks for the help

the over exposure part would be an in camera function, but everything else is after the fact.

Kind of looks like the Lightroom preset "bleach"
kinda like this:

I'm with ya mwcfarms. I feel like a lot of the good details have been overpowered by the effect. Overexposed and desaturated, at least she's consistant. lol.

Bump the ISO to 3200 and overexpose it by about 3 stops. That would save you the hassle of PP.

Personally, not a big fan.

I'm seeing a lot of it, seems to be the "it" thing right now. I don't care for it but what do I know

 

[wlbphoto]

overexposed was my first thought too. but its does look good.

 

[mwcfarms]

Its what I consider trendy which isn't bad but definitely nothing special. I usually throw a couple edits like that in when I do a batch to see if they like it but it reminds of old polaroid film. Snifff.

All her photos seem to have four things in common:

1) Shallow DOF, taken at an aperture of f2 or lower
2) Over exposed
3) Color and contrast manipulation in post
4) Naturally posed and often moving subjects--like she captured a moment instead of created it.

You could always ask her - wouldn't that be simpler than everyone guessing?

Small Depth of Field? Over-exposed? What effect do you want?

She also seems to be shooting into the light in these which could add to the washed out look. I would recommend post processing, however, I know canon (and I am sure nikon and many others ) allow you to create custom jpeg modes. You could create one with lowered saturation, lowered contrast and then overexpose if needed and if in a hurry.
