Get to the point already!! Good lord!
heheh adorei o cabo quebrado 3:06 , isso mostra que ele é humano
How did you light yourself in this? What light and what color temperature have you used? Have you used any diffusion filter on the lens? It's beautifully lit
If you ever come to Pittsburgh I would love to take your course
The business suit is quite charming!
Amazing setup
Am i trippin or does your face’s exposure changes throughout the video ? :/….great video tho
Nice video John! Btw, What's your favorite softbox/octabox size for corporate portraits? Cheers
I always return to videos like yours to watch over again and I have a question. Do you light people different based on their complexion? I have a woman that I’ve shot with that has scars possibly from popping zits and doing feathered lighting has a tendency to accentuate it more. Thanks
Hi John , I'm curious what size backdrop do you use in the video?this size looks good for my need. Thankyou
Some great tips and tutoring, thanks John. Those Mola’s are a bit out of reach cost wise for me at present, can you recommend another beauty dish? I guess Elinchrom as I use their strobes. I’ve only ever used a small open soft box with a deflector but know I’d get better results with a B Dish.
Could you please tell us about the big case you used for all the equipment you had to carry with you at 04:24? thank u 🙂
Ah. Just what I was looking for
You look great!!
I just discovered your channel and I am enjoying it very much I’m curious have you made a video on Covid safety and what you recommend what do you ask your clients before booking a job do you do anything when the client shows up … do you have clients sign anything? how do you make sure everyone is safe I’d love to see a video like that!
Your work is beautiful and I enjoy listening to your videos. Thank you
Thanks for the tutorial! I thought you preferred the Mola Demi? (From your Dec video)
Loving your channel John! Keep it up!
The model’s hot
Thank you, what backdrops do you use?
Gave me plenty of ideas here John!! thanks again for such a great video!!
What is that hard case you had when you went to the lawyer shoot?
Such great videos! Thanks 🙂
John, what brand is that rolling case you use? It looks marvelous!
This is gold! Thanks John.
I just got out of covid quarantine I actually tested positive for covid and was pretty sick. I still don’t feel well. Thanks John always putting out quality video. I always remember to call my mom 📷😂
Love you john
The main man! Love your work, mate.
Thank you very much for this video post! Liked both your story at the beginning and the lighting tutorial. Just a question, if I may: does the big Octa behind the small Octa not throw shadows onto the model? Excuse my English, I am German…
Great tutorial as always! And congrats on getting your drone licence 🙂 and thanks for sharing your close call with the unwell model – brings home that we need to stay vigilant and careful until the pandemic is over. Take care and stay healthy and safe.
Great vid as always John, glad you found that iPhone charger, the one you are using looks like it's on its last leg lol
great clothes.. i noticed even before you talked about it.. suites yo well..
I totally agreed with you. Better to measure the light correct then spending time in photoshop (I don’t have photoshop only C1) thx again!
Thanks John. I also like to use the lcd screen to loe
I have always been a shoot through the viewfinder kind person, far more stable shooting position for hand held.
Your thinking regarding the effect off having a camera and lens pointing at you, I can understand your though process . I think the same way with these 200/300 F2.8/F2 primes, they are just this big black hole to look in to; that and the shooting distance whilst it may be good for todays world breaks any sense of intimacy and communications in portraits. This is why I stick to 100mm or below for most of my portrait work and I have little to no need for the 70-200.
Also, call your Mom. Thanks John! Great video.
Hello, John. Thank you for your amazingly informative videos. I have a burning question. My peers locally tend to disregard pictures with black in it or shadows that fall to black. What are your thoughts on shadows losing detail? Specially the shadows that are not part of the subject.
Will definitely try that dress up lobby technique. 😂😂 Great tutorial as always! 🙌🏾
Good lighting tutorial, I totally agree getting the shot in camera is the way to go as well as using a light meter.
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Agree completely about people who use the LCD to shoot. Especially people who hold the camera out in front of themselves. But I'd be lying if I didn't say I've become one of them!!!
