At13:40– the near hand is hugely out of proportion due to distortion from the wide angle lens, which is why I rarely if ever use wide angle lenses in portraiture, with rare exceptions. Nikon has 2 85mm lenses in f. mount, and has 85mm Z mount.

Thank you 🙂👍
Thank you for all the knowledge fam 🙏 Will be rewatching this a couple times 😎
Great presentation and awesome work, Francisco!
My favorite parts were when B&H kept the photos/titles up on the screen for five minutes when he was showing how to do something and showed him from a mile away when he was pointing out things on the photos!
And what if he put on shoes?
