      let's be honest, these were great locations and with a great quality ambient light, you have no idea of what an ugly location is, then change the model to an unpleasing subject and it's all getting less interesting

    I love that you are using higher ISO's to get these awesome shots! Almost everyone says keep them low 100-200. That might be technically better but for someone without a camera crew and lots of flashes it's not realistic. Thank you for this video! Great information!

    Juliet is a fun fest of a model to work with, at least from what I can see here. She doesn't act all moody, difficult and in need of being pampered by the photographer; when so many are. I don't work with models, but I would make a exception and try this kind of photography is I had a model with her energy, beauty, charm and talent. Great video... actually quite enjoyable as well as informative.

    Surprised you also blew out the focus on the rock wall. Sometimes seeing a little more of the background is a good thing. The car shot I found weird, but the doorway was very nice. Great video for beginners to explore their surroundings!

    Great video with very useful tips, thanks. Also it's good demo that professional grade Nikon camera are noise free at high ISO 1600 - 2500 :) It will be too noisy for many entry level / older DSLR (or mirrorless camera) of any brand, so settings should be different (ISO down / exposure time longer).

    Step 1: Buy the Nikon 200mm f2
    Step 2: No background, no problem
    Anyways people, you can get extremely similar result with a Nikon 135 f2.8 Ai, if you don't wanna spend much (it's 180$, but its manual focus. Still t's a cheap way to start experimenting)
    The tips on the door lighting are amazing tho, and I use it all the time. There are so many "natural softboxes" everywhere, people just gotta find them.

    @Jordan when you said "expose for the face of your subject", do you mean using the AF points to auto focus on the face or choosing a meter mode on the face of the model?

    • @twentyoneplusvideo0472
      @twentyoneplusvideo0472 7 років тому +2

      Sure, but nowadays renting stuff is fairly cheap and really easy. You can always rent to try stuff out, then as you get more gigs you have goal to save for. I rent lenses for vacations all the time to try them out. After one last year I purchased a 16mm-300mm, but I had used one on vacation for over 10 days prior to that. Rent or borrow is always a good idea!

    • @brandonanthony3191
      @brandonanthony3191 6 років тому +8

      If you have a standard kit lens keep your lens zoomed out to 55mm (or what ever the longest focal length available is) and make sure your aperture is at its lowest possible f stop which on a kit lens zoomed out will be 5.6 and then get as close to your subject as possible and keep your background as far as possible. That will get you good portraits with separation and background blur "bokeh". If you are just starting and don't have a ton of money to spend a nifty fifty should be your first lens they are cheap, good image quality, versatile, and the have a very fast aperture of 1.8 which gets you ton of bokeh (blur) both Canon and Nikon sell them for $120 and with Nikon you can buy the newer af-s 50mm 1.8 for $200.

      Part of the skills lays in the toolbox you have... right.
      Way bigger part is in the way you USE those tools from the box.
      For you don't give a damn about which references of brushes and paints Matisse or van Gogh would use... 95% of what we see from them comes from their skills, and how they've put them into practice.
      To hell with gear ! I've never seen a camera shooting photographs on its own... humans do that. Never forget it.

    Good tricks! Good video! It's a good idea to limit yourself in space so that there is not even a thought of beautiful views. The photographer can do more when he starts to think :-) In Russian cities we do not have many beautiful places.
