      It's helpful for beginners and for people who haven't looked into photography very much. I understand that you don't appreciate it, but that doesn't mean you have to be cruel to those who do. Just move away from "misinforming, over-dramatic hipster videos" and find something that more suits your style.

      The more you do it, the more comfortable you'll get. You'll have some solid go-tos that you can use and then work in some new techniques with each shoot.

      Mango Street I'm ready but I'm stuck in what lenses to use. I'm a novice and don't know whether im a videographer or photographer, and I get in this buying mentality and really don't do much. What do you suggest I do?

    • @MangoStreet
      @MangoStreet  7 років тому +15

      Josny Bustamante, as a photographer (and even a lot of times as a videographer) i almost exclusively shoot on the 35mm. if i could only choose one lens, i wouldn't even hesitate to pick the 35. -rachel

    • @spooofcouk
      @spooofcouk 7 років тому +2

      Rachel - 35 (I assume the 1.4)?
      Wedding photography - 50mm or 35mm ?

    The big thing for number 2 has to be emotion for sure! The emotions that were conveyed by what you said were so obvious in the shots. That's a big part of what have made photographers like Platon so major in portrait photography, he knows the art of getting that raw emotion out of the subjects.
    Would be cool to have a video on how to get emotion out of clients you don't know, as that always feels harder than getting friends and family to open up
