You'll soon notice that you absolutely don't need that info. Maybe aperture but but you can usually tell and it's super individual. You'll just get a feel for it. Nothing to study by book.
I started shooting dancers just because of your tutorials. Best decision ever. They create poses that barely anyone else knows how to do. I love it. Thanks Brandon
ppl who laugh about that have no understanding.. 35mm - backgound will be streched and compressed, while with a 85 mm - background will be HUGE und not streched in different directions!
@@Illestbuddha but there is not a right or wrong, a camera and lens are just a tool, you have to know how to use them and expreiment... Like all these dumbfucks here, sayin its shit using a 105mm for fullbody.. they never ever tried it, or they wouldnt say that u know :) just go out and expreiment and try to understand when what happens :)
I don’t have an 85,50, or 35 yet and I’ve done all my portraits at 16mm, is it suggested to do portraits with something so wide? Never, but you can get the job done with any lens if you’re creative enough!
Im a traditionally trained photog, 11 year's exp with a military background, and i found this channel trying to find a way to remedy photog block, and it's been such a help
I love all of these "portrait" photographers in the comments that read a photography textbook once so they all follow the same exact "rules" then laugh at someone for their choice, which, coincidentally got them over 3 milion followers on Instagram. Woops.
There's a lot of women on Instagram whose "artistically" showed body parts got them a lot of followers. Point is, stop using followers as a measure of talent. It's faulty, at best. That being said, there's no reason to accuse someone of breaking some "rules" in what supposed to be an art form.
bro has some serious skill!!! I picked this up as a hobby, he's teaching you the game for FREE!!! are haters gonna be like SpongeBobs and soak it up or just hate? I prefer to be like SpongeBob and soak up all the free game!
I love how Brandon have tackled every inch of details and even added more tips like props, advantages of location, and reasons for using different focal lengths in certain shots.
Great shots, the model looks great in them. You can tell she really takes her ballet seriously by how well each movement is. Thanks for sharing, you make me want to get out there and shoot myself. Thanks!
C. Ch no they cant because nobody would even waste time doing that. Much quicker to reshoot with the cd again. Good luck cutting out that rainbow effect and making it look good
This guy has an amazing set of Glass at his disposal. Photos looked crisp and clean. Well done. I wish I could one day have an 85mm and 105mm on a z7 body
For some reason I came across this video and it’s been very helpful to follow. Sharing your time and knowledge about your talents in photography is priceless. This gives me a better idea of what to do in different scenarios. Thank you.
Hey Brandon! ...nobody teaches this and it's soooo frustrating to me. I know my way around a camera pretty well, but some of these more technical types of tricks and effects are things I still have yet to conquer and really figure out. THANK YOU soooo much for doing this for us!! I would sure give the world for you to also do a couple of videos teaching us how to photograph sparkler exits, light trails with wedding reception dance photos, how to photograph those cigar smoke photos of the guys on wedding day, and how to get that hair spray shot when the bride is getting ready. I'd also love to learn how to do some of those trick photos that so many of you do on wedding days - the reflection, shooting through things, bokeh lights, ring shots with an extra fun flair, etc. A super fun photographer that does a lot of this stuff is Jason Martin with Concept Photography. This guy has some super cool photography tricks and effects and I still have yet to figure out how he does a lot of them.
Rich Clark Photography yeah you are right, I would want to have to speak a little louder just to get a great looking image... Just do whatever works for you and try not to label other people techniques as ‘stupid’ just because you don’t understand what they are trying to achieve :)
A tip to the photographer. Please don’t pressure your clients to smile big, show teeth. If they don’t want to smile, leave them alone. Although I have a pretty face, I don’t have the best teeth and have always been shy about them. I looked into veneers but it’s too expensive for me. Recently I went to my step son’s military ball and they asked for photo shoot. We took a family photo and the photographer kept asking me to smile, show some teeth while people stood around us waiting & watching. I was so embarrassed. She asked me to look at the photos and I just agreed to whatever shot she showed me just to end the session. Please don’t pressure and embarrass your client if they don’t smile. Everyone knows it’s the thing to do but not a requirement.
I appreciate this bit of advice. I do all kinds of photography (concert, landscape, photojournalism, street...) but portraits is something I'm learning. This is actually some VERY important advice you have given because I can't imagine accidentally making a shoot uncomfortable by asking my subject to do something they aren't comfortable doing (like in your case, smiling. And I speak from experience. My teeth were really messed up as a kid and into my young adult life. Lots of pictures of me grinning. None of me smiling because I was self conscious about how I looked when I smiled).
Seeing you work is a joy. You really do seem to know photography really well, the art of it, especially. So many folks (like myself) bicker about gear when it’s the art we need to be worried about.
Thank you for this Video... I love how you are able to explain step by step. There are few photographers that do that well. I am most definitely going to rewatch this and apply it to my photography... Also I never thought about using a dancer as a model... It seems so obvious though. You are brilliant.
"Lens cap's on." We all do it. Love the realness. Thanks for sharing your artistry with us Brandon
Let's be honest here. You aren't a real photographer if you haven't taken a photo with the lens cap on 😂
@@EironKyle oh boy, I was once shooting a long exposure with the cap on. I didn't find out about it until the sixth time I got a pitch black picture
@@sqworm5397 oooof
Now this is what I’m looking for. Someone who shares the setting for shutter speed, aperture and ISO for every shot.
Me too dude
Same for me, I write them in a notebook with some little drawings
You'll soon notice that you absolutely don't need that info. Maybe aperture but but you can usually tell and it's super individual. You'll just get a feel for it. Nothing to study by book.

I absolutely LOVE how thorough you are with your explanations! Thank you for walking us through the whole process including all the why's!
I’m obsessed with his photography and his aesthetic on instagram it’s amazing .
Yes Brandon!!!
You have lots of subscribers but only 3 likes

some amazing shots! that sun burst at 5:02 was beautiful
Ppl who laugh at him for usin 85mm for full body shots. I think he uses it to compress the background whuch is a legitimate artistic choice.
ppl who laugh about that have no understanding..
35mm - backgound will be streched and compressed,
while with a 85 mm - background will be HUGE und not streched in different directions!
What’s a standard lens for full body shots?
@@Illestbuddha something around 30-50

truly one the best...
Word up
peter McKinnon ??
@@Rax_films
Yes
Hes also good at photography
@@Bizarro1606 I think Brandon is better when it comes to portrait photography but peter is better in landscape and products photography
lol

This girl is crazy flexible, might as well participate in Olympics gymnastics!! 👌 That good!!!
Photographer: do a jump
Model: *kicks back of head with calf*
i couldnt stop laughing at this comment
Beautiful I was shocked 😮
LMAO
🤣😂
Exactly, that’s a jump..
Okay, Jump! .... mind blown! I was not expecting those skills! Now I’m inspired to be a photographer and a dancer haha
Exotic?
Same here lol...I was totally blown away by those acrobatic poses. Nice work guys :-)
Where can we follow you? :3
Using a 85mm for portrait is actually super smart, gets the background real bulky to the model
Beautiful with the Backlit sun light coming through her dark hair on the sidewalk shoot! Nice work & some nice tips including the cd.
he makes it seem so effortless what the heck
Pros
People are clowning an artist for the way he wants to make art🤔 On top of that his pictures are dope af!
No, they really aren't. It's the stuff people make in highschool
@@MiaogisTeas bro what? 2.7 million followers on his Instagram say different. Who are you to judge his art 😂 what do you have to show?
Exactly there's no correct or right way to shoot. It all depends on the photographer and what his preference is
Homie was like just do a jump, shit was not just a jump ! 😂 I was like dammmmm!
Dont know how I haven't run across this channel before💁. Will be binged watching today 💯 very informative for a beginner. Photographer such as myself.
Great guy.
You are generous in sharing knowledge.
Celebrate you.

Beautiful and best platform to Learn photography
Bad ass talent! Hopefully one day I get this level

This is the best outdoor shooting tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you so much for also including all the settings you used
Great shots, the model looks great in them. You can tell she really takes her ballet seriously by how well each movement is. Thanks for sharing, you make me want to get out there and shoot myself. Thanks!

Wonderful photography with a cd player.
New subscriber right here! In love with your work ❤
I love the realness of your vid. Thank you so much!!
Awesome photos. I am a fan now.
Can you please teach how to edit like you said “duplicate the rainbow to a photo that did catch it”?
C. Ch no they cant because nobody would even waste time doing that. Much quicker to reshoot with the cd again. Good luck cutting out that rainbow effect and making it look good
Uh you can do a overlay at home against a white wall or black and use it as a overlay duh
CuReD_bacon well he did it, and it ended up looking great. You seem mad.
CuReD_bacon brandon showed how to do that in his class, check out his skillshare channel, plus it only took him like 2 minutes
