Вначале говорит делайте сложнее, добавляйте реквизит, гирлянды, а в конце говорит делайте проще, убирайте всё…. как это понять…
Hi ..begginer here…iam thinking wich camera and lens buy….what do you think about full frame FE 24-105 mm ( oss and weather sealing) on sony A6600? Im gonna loose píxels and a lot of vignette?
One more thing in my opinion is that don't use f/1.2, 1.4, 1.8 all the time, sometimes the colour contrast between subject and background is enough, you don't need to blurr the background

The biggest question is: How do you find models? And if you are stuck with amateur friends and family, how do you coach them?
Hey, Mitch! Just discovered your channel. Thank your for sharing your perspective and thoughts on the topic. Pictures are amazing. Also your down to earth approach and energy. Wishing you all the best! 🙂
Thanks Mitch, that was awesome. Hey what's your best tip for coaxing natural emotional responses? Sue Bryce says talking relaxes people, is that the main key? Also, I have found models can get into their routine of poses, that look great but are still a bit fake. How do you snap them out of this?
Hello, I'm newbie on canon, i have problem why my raw format cr3 can't viewable on mac? What should i do
Thank you 🙏
You're funny. You said you shot 100,000 pictures "give or take". "give or take" what? LOL
This is gold. New subscriber here. 🎉
Glad i found this. Thanks for the advice.
I'm following a online training to become a professional photographer. As I am new in this world, I didn't expect this training (wich I'm doing at home mainly) lacked a lot of information. I really regret the fact that I didn't signed in for the advanced educations on a institute (and payed some extra money for it). Wich brings me to the point that I'm drowning in all the information available on the internet. At the moment I have a chapter about portrait photography and really struggling with lightpositions, lightshaping, poses and a lot more. This video really helps and I will try the stuff mentioned here. Thanks for sharing, Mitch.
Wow, finally found a usefull video! Thanks for all the fish :> 42
My favourite video from you yet! Absolutely nailed your points mate
I've never seen any of your work before and was pleasantly surprised by the information given. My class got a great bit of knowledge from you. Thanks for sharing.
I'd love to shoot portraits like this, but I can't find a single model. Nobody as good as the ladies in your images anyway… HELP
The heck, i dont pay for premium course on youtube 😮
this honestly seems to be the best advice that I found in portrait shooting yt-videos so far!
great content and concepts!! ty
Different is better than good but don't forget to be good while being different.
One of the best video about portraits.. Thanks man for sharing !
Portrait has always been my weakest point. These tips are golden. Thanks!
What you said at 3:45 is what I said before you opened your mouth at the start. I questioned your validity. But just commenting on your own mistake helps.
I liked it a lot
Pretty amazing feedback! like totally unconventional and applicable things anyone can do. (but still looking at your photos makes me feeling like I'll never make it hahah..but then again you shot around 100k portraits…i maybe 10 lol) Do you maybe also have some tips about staying consistent with creating more portraits when you feel you're like not achieving your goals?
can you please do a video on how you shoot your b-roll footage ?! would love to know your settings and how you edit using your luts!
Hey, awesome photography. I sold all my gear (nikon d850 + lenses etc..). Now I need to invest into some system. But tbh never used any other. I see u used them. What would you say today is the best system you could get? Some say stick with nikon, other say canon, and other say sony. So I am stuck. Thanks 🙂
Thanks for sharing! Awesome tips..
