Excellent and usefully informative video James, and the scarf will be useful on cold Devonshire mornings too 👍
Your favourite photo is a cracker! The scarf and her eyes are amazing. Great soft lighting and colour.
WOW! 😮 She's so pretty 😍 Those glowing blue eyes are mesmerizing! Did you say something about a scarf?
Nice job explaining things James, but I agree, Claudie is definitely the better model. 😂
In a few of the earlier shots, did James not nick off the top of Claudia's head? Sort of as Hannibal in the "Hannibal" movie did to Ray Liotta's character? (Not a very good movie, by the way.) Is that an okay framing for a portrait? Or just not worrying about it, since those shots weren't the keepers?
I'm not sure I ever looked at the scarf!! Her EYES were killer! Nearly every shot (except maybe the full on, straight sunlit shots), her eyes jumped out at me!!
Great portraits and great video.
Who gives a "rats' about the scarf, your model is a stunning natural beauty. Great photos !
Lovely scarf. Great tips for outdoor portrature.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for the video.
quick to the point and insightful; also made me smile. Cheers and I am sure the person who made the scarf will be happy.
Great, very useful video. Thank you
Well Cloudy is beautiful and the light was nicely explained, but the “Vaseline look” was not mentioned? The Orton glow filter from Luminar neo perhaps?
Great job!
Gorgeous model. Fantastic video
I like the video very much. More people photography please.
Very informative, the old guy, a mere boy..
Very informative but really how old is this guy supposed to be? LOL
Very interesting and informative, thank you to both of you!
