Makes sense, brotha! Great photos, great model, great b-roll — well done!
Great video thanks so much bro
why the need to lay on the ground? screen flips.yall
LOL! I was thinking "That's Toronto!" then I read a previous comment. Nice Jeff!
I've been pondering on why I should keep my wide angle lens…I should sell it. But looking at how you used your 24mm…..I'm keeping mine.
I'm not a professional photographer (I don't live in photography) but I really like street photography. I have barely been practicing it for months, and as an amateur I took refuge in the distance that gives you to shoot at 50mm, but lately it has caught my attention to take photos at wide angles such as 17mm which is the most open that my lens allows me. Not only of scenes in the street but also portraits to whoever lets me do it. To achieve this I have been forced to approach to my subjects a lot, but little by little it has given me a lot of confidence, not to mention that very good compositions can be achieved and tell a story showing the environment in which our subject lives. The more I shoot, the more I fall in love with photography.
24mm make you a better photographer
Love the video. I’m thinking about getting A wide angle lens. Do you think 12 mm is too wide for portraits
Like a lot of others, nice to see a local fellow doing good tutorials. Thanks.
I am the opposite I fell in love with the 28mm and I shot portraits with that but I recently got a 105 so I am testing a longer lens for portraits!
I was given same advise by an editor of the Guardian for one of my projects, made a huge differences.
WOOOOW JEFF……thats looks just AMAZING….
Love your work
You look like a photographer/hitman which is cool. You've earned a like and a subscriber!
Direct to the point!Great video sir.
Fine art film photography with fine art photographer plus pretty models is best. All you really need is 1 good film camera, 1 good film lens, 1 good film and 1 good film photographer.
shooting from ground all the time to create the distortion doesn't make 1 creative – in fact more of a 1 trick pony
Looking at this makes me wonder if I need to start shooting with my 24-70 at 24mm an change my perspective to include building, trees, ceiling and the sky. Thanks for sharing this with us +Jeff
Thanks for sharing this short great video, it brought up fresh ideas to my mind. And awesome photos by the way! 🙂
Way to go, Jeff! Btw, the model is really strong!!
Hey Jeff! Curious who did you hire for the critique?
Great portraits man! Good job
Excellent video Mr. Rojas. I enjoyed it so much I subbed your channel. keep up the great content.
I totally needed to see this today! I intend to start shooting with a wider field of view. Thanks!
24mm is a bold move. But Jeanloup Sieff used it with great effectiveness with fashion, and it will makes your photos much more interesting and distinctive. They're looking great already!
Thanks for sharing, hope I can buy wide-angle lens soon
So this is an add for Sony lenses…. ok…
Would love to hear what the photo editors thought of the lighting, I notice you're using only ambient light……..
I love colors, what do you think about canon 5d mk 4 can you make this quality with it or no 🙂 btw i love your work
very love Wide Angle! Model is Soo Good!
Yes! All of that! I think that’s my style which is to include the background. Maybe I should do the opposite then lol!
Oh my god, so i am not insane for shooting portraits with a wide lens! Everyone told me that this is the wrong way hahah, thanks mate
someone told me a few years back to do something different .so every time im out with photographers, or models or landscaping im the only one down to the floor. lol good video and great advice.
