How to achive this grade and contrast ?

Photographer: Aymane Alhamid

I love these photos. The models, location, styling, and overall art direction all work together beautifully. To my eye, the images have a medium-format film aesthetic.

I'm less familiar with the lighting setup and would be interested in hearing how it might have been achieved. What stands out to me most is the contrast and tonal rendering.

I'm curious about the post-processing techniques used to create this look. I understand that much of the final result comes from strong pre-production and getting things right in-camera, but I'm also convinced there's thoughtful work done in post.

I'm not trying to recreate this editorial exactly. I'm learning photography and would appreciate any insights into the lighting, color grading, editing, or overall production process behind these images.

Mbappe playstyle France vs Real MAdrid

Pretty straightforward: why does Mbappé play so differently for Real Madrid compared to France?

At Real Madrid, his heat map sometimes looks more like Frenkie de Jong’s. He constantly drops deep, almost playing as a false 8, always asking for the ball to feet. He has little to no defensive responsibility and often holds onto the ball longer than necessary.

With France, it’s the complete opposite. He plays like a true team player making runs in behind, pressing aggressively, defending when needed, and moving the ball quickly with one or two touches instead of slowing the attack down.

OpenAi Ad Strategy

i have too many ads from openAi and Chatgpt account. like every 3 posts scrolled every 3 stories swiped.

So I decided to block them thinking im gonna be free from their slop. mind you I still see their ads because they collab post with 100 of influencers so even you block openai/chatgpt you still gonna see their ads. it is pretty smart ngl. and good luck finding everybody collab posting with open ai just to block them. we are screwed !!!

im not anti AI their static creatives are pretty aesthetics and pleasing to watch but when they start talking about “you can build a rocket ship to go mars!!” i just can’t stand it.

Suggestion Algorithm is so weird

My main niche on Instagram is photography. I mostly engage with content from photographers, magazines, and occasionally viral funny stuff. I deliberately interact with content in my niche to signal to the algorithm what I actually like.

But here's the thing: my "suggested for you" panel have nothing to do with photographers or magazines. It's always random girls with 1 mutual, sometimes 0. My profile isn't exactly interesting, so I doubt they're even checking it out. If I got curious and click on these random people profile. I'm cooked they would be in my suggestions for a week. Someone I don't even follow back, follows someone and Instagram recommend THAT account. like WTH???

I ended up blocking people I don't even know just because I was tired of seeing their face lol.
Anybody has experience with this ?
