    I think I've watched this video a dozen times. I'm a hobby photographer who takes pictures of my family. Whenever I start to feel like I'm losing my mojo or sense of direction, I watch this and get inspired again. Thanks for the effort you put into these wonderful videos!

    Super video amigo. May I ask if you mostly shoot landscape format and why your eye tends to see this more?. Also, are you a admirer of Don McCullin?, I know your images have a totally different theme and priority, but I don’t know why exactly, but your images have an Ora similar to his?.

    Hi Chris, I'm a passive internet user, generally, but I feel compelled to reach out and thank you for sharing your knowledge of photography in such a tender tone. I've watched many of your videos now and have thoroughly enjoyed each one. I also share a love for bringing a film-like look into digital photography, as such I find the colour and warmth of your photos tremendous! Thanks for sharing and best wishes for the new year 🙂

    The music in the background is very annoying why do so many people add it to tutorials when there is no need for it…!!

    Also, I did note that in the video you'd link to some great books on colour theory in the description. I don't see them. Any chance you could please share?

    Your video is informationally fantastic. I appreciated the tonal quality of your voice as you deliver the emphasis needed but spoken in a matter of fact method. Do you happen to have a super short list of resource literature that you might speak about in another video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspective.

    First of your videos I’ve seen. Love the lack of a preamble, getting right to the value of the video for the viewers. The framing of your subscription request was so perfect I half regretted already subscribing. Love the low key lighting and the low key humor that had me laughing out loud more than once. Just, well done!

    Excellent set of pics Chris had a look at your website and i like the simple style yet very engaging style .I used to do a bit of wedding photography with a similar style but not for a couple of years and im starting to want to do a bit again and to do some portraits again. Thanks i have subscribed and look forward to going through some of the older vids .Your cameras im guessing maybe Fuji ? i used them since Xpro 1 came out and sold most of my gear as i wasn't using it but still hold onto my Xpro 1 and 35.1.4 two of the best bits of camera gear that ever inspired me.More power to you from here in Northern Ireland. (just checked some of you other vids yes i thought it was Fuji And delighted to see i was on the right side for once)

    I can see how that would have taken you weeks, and painfully condensed into just 10 minutes. Nice work. I liked the Chinese bride in the churchcathedral photo a lot. And thanks for the "nose not breaking the cheekline" tip…useful!

    Hello Chris, thank you for your videos.
    Do you shoot in 16:9? If not what is your preferred aspect ratio for portraits?

    Amazing, Chris. Now I know what I like the most about your work: portraits. Great photos. The tips are so helpful, too. I'll jot them down and considere them for my next session.
