I’ve tested that out too, but the results weren’t great. I’ve actually done a Facebook ads mentorship, and the mentor explained that I’m better off running campaigns with a broad audience, without retargeting, because: The Facebook algorithm adapts and learns the best people to send the ads to in order to get the best results based on the category you chose (e.g., leads). With the same campaign, it automatically retargets those who have engaged with your ads. If you start narrowing down your audience too much, like using just the retargeting custom audience, your audience reach will be much smaller. This way, the Facebook algorithm will struggle to deliver the content and won’t have enough data to learn who are the actual potential leads. When the algorithm struggles to work effectively, the cost per lead (CPL) ends up being more expensive. So again, I only run one campaign for traffic purposes and one campaign for getting leads. I avoid retargeting and niching down to specific audiences because Facebook will learn for you. Facebook ads change all the time, and I learned this from my Facebook ads mentor. What works now might not work next week, but this has been working for me. I keep getting 10-15 leads a week ($10 a day), so I’ll keep doing that until it stops working eventually. Hope that makes sense 😂🫶

Thanks for your comment! If you check my channel, you’ll see that this is one of my first videos and i was literally looking at myself on the screen cause I couldn’t help it 💅 but yeah i think I’ve improved

Ahhh thank you 🤍 happy to help x

It’s very hard, because as creatives we don’t want to miss the opportunity of getting good photos, but- like you said- we need to remember that it’s not about us, and do what’s best for the couples 🤍

🥹🫶🫶🫶 i only just started this channel! Thanks for your support :)

Thank you 😮‍💨💕

🥹🥹💕 so glad you liked it

It is!! I also like portra 400, but lately I’ve been using portra 800 more 🤍

🥹🙏 glad you liked it

I use leads now, like I explained on the video! I don’t filter people out of any campaign. It definitely attract some wrong people (like automatic scam messages, old guys, etc) but I actually did a 1:1 mentorship and the guy said that this is completely normal, and that the fb algorithm adapts over time. The results speak for itself, i keep getting 10 good and legit leads a week with this exact campaign. Watch my video again and follow the steps; give it a couple of weeks to test it out and see how it goes!

Glad it was helpful! thanks for your comment :))

Thank you :) you don’t need to set up flash with the camera. Just put the flash on the camera, and switch to TTL mode which means you don’t need to change anything else a part from the camera settings (just perfect the white balance and exposure on the camera and the flash light will adapt automatically). Does that make sense?

My flash is a Godox 860, what do you say in the video

I just connect the to the camera and set the flash to TTL mode, which means you don’t need to adjust any settings on the actual flash, as it will be adjusted automatically based on your camera settings; it’s very straightforward! Does that answer your question? I hope you have an amazing wedding in July :) And you have a good flash, just for the paparazzi look, don’t use the bouncer or the diffuser, just point it straight to your subject- have a test before the wedding so you feel confirmation using it!

This video is definitely for those learning how to use flash. Not sure how UA-cam algorithm reached such a pro like yourself 🤔 And what did i say at min 4:14? Remove the bouncer? I don’t get it.

Thank you so much Mel! I have a part 2 of this video coming out soon, would love to hear your thoughts again x

go on.. you teach us then 😂

Omg thats the nicest comment I’ve ever received about my work 😭 thank you for taking the time to make my day better! You can definitely get the same results- i do sell my beloved preset pack. But I’ve been asked to post a video on how I edit my photos, so I’ll definitely do that too 🫶😊

@@mjcarneiro Yes, it would be great to see how you edit photos. As an idea for a clip, I would really like it if you posted a clip in which you could tell us more about yourself. I wish you much success in everything you do.

Uuuhhhhh i think you’re going to have to watch the full video to find out 🤫🤪

Thanks for watching;) did you get a hold of my template pack?

Thanks for watching 💕 i have part 2 coming out this week :)

Thanks for watching 💕

Thank you! :) i have a sigma 50mm f1.4- although I’d say, based on preference and style, i wouldn’t go any lower than f1.4 and, to be honest, I rarely use f1.4, because i shoot in really beautiful places, so why to blur it out?

I’ll forever take advantage of it! Why make life complicated

Thanks for sharing your point of view- I definitely know what you mean. I still think that gear matters when you’re charging +3k to document someone’s most special day- not only because of the massive difference on image quality and autofocus, but also the security of having reliable equipment 🤍

I do!! two a7iv's - at least until the end of portraits. I usually just use one camera body during reception though. I actually talked about that in one of my videos, and explained what cameras and lenses I use for each part of a wedding day. "My Top 3 Lenses for Wedding Photography (Prime and Zoom)" Let me know if you like it :))

haaa don't lie to me 🤭🤭 appreciate it!! keen to see your work :)

@@mjcarneiro I love how your contents are in details, thank you for doing this

@@mjcarneiro I followed you on my instagram as well

Have a try and let me know how it goes! I still use S mode when I want to do slow shutter, etc. And manual mode when using flash, etc. But av mode is life changing. I don't really have to worry about the settings and it's just awesome!

it's perfectiiiion! why not to take advantage of it right

my voice isn't cute, but I appreciate it hahaha thanks :)

Thank you!! That’s such a good idea- I could also post a video on how i edit my photos?

@@mjcarneiro that would be great 👍

Hii! Mirrorless cameras have good eye and face tracking. When you use continuous autofocus mode, it's hard to miss focus, even with movement. While some DSLRs do have eye and face tracking autofocus, it's not as advanced or reliable as in mirrorless cameras. And if you're using single-point autofocus with a DSLR and either you or the subject moves, it can easily go out of focus. So definitely not as reliable!

@@mjcarneiro thanks for the reply! I guess I have not used my mirrorless camera enough 😂 I’m used to film so I don’t have the same luxuries 😅

100% - especially if you're making money out it, having good and reliable gear is an absolute must hey?!

I'll never stop using av mode hahah so handy!

For wildlife photography I use S (or TV on canon) because the animals move quickly Iso is the least of your concerns of it means your image isn't sharp

@@mjcarneiroim thinking of starting a portrait/event business but have a small budget to begin and I’m looking at the Sony A6000 series of camera bodies. Would you recommend those or a used full frame DSLR ?

@@zwiemon I'm not familiar with wildlife photography, can't tell what makes a good photo 😅but for live event that can be either outdoor or indoor, totally out of our control, with people moving around so much, av mode is definitely the easier I've tried

@@scottwesterman221 Umm I'm not familiar with the a6000, I've only had the a6600 (no dual card slots) and the a6700. I can tell that the a6700 is much better in quality and also with the advantage of having dual card slots which I 10000% recommend having if you're going to be using it professionally. The price difference isn't much, and I totally think it's worth the invest, because at the end of the day you'll be getting the money back soon. I do recommend the A7iv more than the other, as it's a good photo and video camera, reliable and a lot more professional - it's more expensive, but again, if you're serious about growing your business, you need to be thinking long term. (you can write it off tax too hehe) ps. I've sold both the a6600 and a6700 because it wasn't nearly as good as the a7iv I hope that helps you make a decision. Have a look at my partner's yt channel, he's talked about all these cameras and tested them out (Gerard Needham)

😂 para

hey :) I have the canon ef 50mm f1.8. I love it!

What settings do you use on the camera. For portraits, for groups of people and just for the scenery

✨💕 thankyou for watching!!

Hiii! So once the meta pixel is connected to your website, you can then create an 'event' to track every time someone clicks on the 'submit form' button on your contact page, and connect this event to a specific ad. On your contact page you need to connect/embed Studio ninja's form instead of using the website default form to track leads under Studio Ninja. While you can't connect FB Pixel directly to Studio Ninja, you can keep track of results by comparing the leads you get under the business manager/pixel page and under studio ninja. Does that answer your question? :)

@@mjcarneiro Oh right ok so you don't actually set up an event on the studio ninja submit button, but compare just the results! Thank you ☺

@@JabezAlexander yess, and if you have the studio ninja form embedded on your website, then all the date will be automatically collected on sj too x

Hey!! Yes i am! I have both the silver and black and just all black 🤭

Happy to help 🫡🤍 it’s definitely worth it! Grab my ads template to help you get started with all the creative stuff x

I have the 70-200 too, i used to use it white a lot before (24-70 and 70-200 for ceremony), but I’ve been loving the 24-70mm paired with a prime lens (85mm for me) I’d say you don’t actually need it! What do you use at the moment for the ceremony?

Oh that’s a good kit for weddings! But yeah having that 28-7mm on you during the ceremony is quite necessary, as you’ll need some wide shots for sure. If you like the prime look, then consider investing on a 24mm or 35mm and pair with your 85mm to get those wide shots during ceremony, reception, etc. But if you don’t want to spend money now, then just use your zoom x

Thinking of buying the Tamron 28 75, is this a professional durable enough lens? I have tried it out and love the form factor. Glad to see a comment on here of somebody using the Tamron.

@@MaziahMiranda well for the price it's ok I take care of my lenses but if you want the most durable lenses you have to go to the GM , if you think you can buy a couple of this and have a backup for the price of the gm haha but also think in the weight this so light compared to sigma or sony .

Sorry, do you agree or disagree with the video 😅 I’m lost

Nahh, it’s boring! I’ve tried 😅

Glad to help, Marcus 🫡
