    This is very helpful and I am so lucky I found your channel. I think its very unique because I have never seen any photographer show a real BTS video that shows incredible amount of poses and how they communicate with the client. Today I did a shoot with a couple and thanks to your videos, I was able to feel confident to give directions to them! PLEASE show more of these

    You are so awesome!!!! I love your behind the scenes video!! It gives me so much comfort knowing how someone else talks to clients. You’re so cool & talented! This makes me want to capture an In home session & drink some coffee lol
    My questions are though,
    How do you decided on choosing an in home session? Do you ask for photos of their home first?
    My fear is that there will not be enough natural light in an home.
    Can’t wait to see more!

    I use a Nikon d750 as well and did an in home for a family and my gosh I had my iso at 1500 and it was so noisy and soft focus when others can push it more than that and get very little. Can I ask what your iso was for most of this? I’ve had my nikon for a few years now but haven’t done in home sessions often.

    • @beccacannonphoto
      @beccacannonphoto  5 років тому +1

      I can usually push my ISO to around 3-4000 and it doesn't look too grainy! I think it depends on what lens you have? 1500 shouldn't make it look super grainy!
