You bet! I have learnt a lot from your content. I have also bought your presets in the past. Good stuff! Keep making more content. Do you still shoot Fuji X-T2 and X-T3? Curious if you ever thought of trying Sony mirrorless? I still have my X-T2 with bunch of Fuji glass and use it often in travels. Lately I got a7RIII and totally love it for landscapes!
Sachin Sawe To be honest, I have little to no experience with Sony. I have a great relationship with Fujifilm South Africa, so I get great support, which is massive as a working professional. I love the small size and low weight nature of my Fuji body and lenses, as I travel a ton. Sony has made massive strides in recent years, good to know you are enjoying the gear.
Another great video! I’d love to see a behind-the-scenes of one your photo shoots from initial setup to post production. Your pictures really are phenomenal and would be tremendously educational to get a sneak peek at tour creative process.
Thanks for your kind words. I’m currently working out a way to put more time into my UA-cam channel between my photography work. 2020 will hopefully be the year I manage to do it and bring a lot more videos and content, including how to videos.
John, thanks for this brilliant content. I've watched literally hundreds of hours of UA-cam photography content, and worked through paid tutorials as well, and I have yet to come across any elaboration on this distinction (perhaps I haven't spent enough time training on post to really grasp it). Keep it coming! I'm curious when you're shooting the HSS portraits of couples like the one of the couple on the rock cliff with the sky in the background, or the couple on the beach, do you have a go-to modifier for more environmental portraits where you need more of that full-length lighting? It's a bit hard to tell what you're using there... - Brent
Hi Brent, thanks for your comment and talking the time to watch the video. I keep it really simple on outdoor shoots like those mentioned. I use a 1 light setup with a simple 7inch round reflector, no diffuser or modifier. This is a great do it all solution that allows me more time to get more shots. I used to use different modifiers, but it is way to time consuming and you loose focus on the couple and being creative with composition. All I concern myself now with is direction, angle and distance from subject. Studio shoots are different, modifiers make all the difference, depending on ones needs. Cheers
@@JohnArmstrongPhotography great guidance, thanks! I don't shoot weddings (yet), but I do shoot a fair number of portraits on location and am planning on doing more environmental portraits where I'd like to experiment with this approach.
Superb tutorial John. Thank you so much.
Outstanding video! I love your content! Always informative and makes me think further about my photography and the way I make my images! Thank you!
Cheers Sachin, I appreciate you taking the time, glad I could help.

Thanks for the explanation. The last photo(including the whole video) made it all clear!

Nice Video John, differently think more about the tonal & Color in the images I will take in the future.
Thanks bud, hope you are well.
well explained
