    Love the interaction between you & Ray ☺️ My absolute fav is with her hair in the sun but her face in the shade. That graffiti background w her white dress was popping 🔥

    I just found your channel.
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
    If you could share with us some of your camera settings during your shots on next BTS.
    I certainly would appreciate it. I get at times overwhelmed wanting to get the best photos for family and friends.
    I’m not a professional, just starting to enjoy photography.
    Thank you again for this channel. Subscribed 👍🏼

      My settings don’t affect your photos. Camera settings are situational. So me shooting at this exposure means nothing when someone else is shooting. Learn your camera. Learn exposure. Learn how to make photographs that speak without words. Shoot aperture priority. Learn what the perfect exposure looks like and how to achieve it. I’ll be making a beginner playlist soon. Subscribe.

    Thanks for sharing this. It's great to see such lovely images coming from using natural light. If you don't mind, may you share your aperture and iso settings, and why you chose them? Also, do you plan the poses ahead of time for such outdoor shoots, or does the location determine the pose you instruct your subject?

    • @stevecarty
      @stevecarty  7 місяців тому +1

      No need for that. My settings don’t help you. Shoot aperture priority. No higher than iso 1000 and use a 50mm

    Hey Steve morning,
    I have been weaned onto your content over the last couple of months and I must say it is enjoyable insightful and a genuine learning experience. I noticed from the stats at the end of this video that we are shooting with the same equipment. Can I ask you please can you tell me what was your dialled in settings for picture one and picture two, you have mentioned that it’s untouched and I really like the End result and also did you use any kind of indie filter on your lens?
    Hopefully I haven’t asked you to divulge any of your secret formula and I look forward to your response.

      @@premeviews Because you already have lights on hand, start working on lighting with the lights you have. Even low power continuous lights are good enough to learn lighting patterns and how you prefer to light your subjects. As you get more comfortable setting up, lighting, and transitioning through looks, buy more powerful lights and keep growing. One other thing to mention, purchase at least one 5-in-1 reflector for modifying the light as it is an inexpensive addition for creating the best light in various settings.
