Hi,

TLDR: does anyone know what color profile to use or how to recreate that color profile to get those images like the bottom one in the link straight out of camera? And why to use flash on clear, bright days? 

I was recently on a trip with my Sony a7r iv  and while we went on a boat I took a picture around morning conditions (10 am) in clear sunny weather. Since it was really bright weather I underexposed a little by 1/3 stop.

I always shoot in RAW in standard color profile in Aperture Priority mode as you can see in the linked images. (The photo I took is on the top)

There was also a professional photographer taking pictures of the passengers with his Nikon D7500 and when he afterwards sent us the pictures, I was blown away on how different his photos looked compared to mine with regards to color straight out of camera.

His images were way brighter, while not being overexposed and in color grading in LR his photos seemed way more vivid and Saturated with LRs auto color editing, while I had to put way more effort in recreating the same look in my picture.

He obviously shoot with flash. And only used auto mode to shoot, when I asked him afterwards. 

While I know that RAW images are more flat on first look without pp, I am also curious on what kind of Techniqe or color profile was used to create this bottom picture straight out of camera.?

Since he immediately gave us the photo he shot, I absolutely doubt he did any post processing, especially cause he also took photos of other passengers.

I played a little around with color profiles and settings on my sony, but absolutely couldn't recreate this look.

Anyone has any idea?

How to recreate this color look straight out of camera?
