i am sooo obsessed with your photography work and i’m incredibly happy to see you starting a youtube channel. really looking forward to what is in store for your future
That is so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words!
I am new to photography did a course in it in high school, adored it and I loved portrait photography. But I stopped but it’s strong desire of mines to do this again and take it seriously this time.
And the tip it’s about the photographer not the camera hit me since I can only afford to shoot on my iPhone for now. Now time to binge your videos 🎉❤
Nice video. Some great tips. It is nice to see someone talk about used gear to start. And I also first got serious with an EM10 Mark 2. Still have my EM 5 Mark 2. I kept the Olympus largely so I can use my large collection of vintage film camera lenses too.
But these days my main cameras are my Pentax K5 IIs and a Nikon D300. None of my cameras were brand new when I got them. And I use different cameras for different jobs.
And I know this will sound like an excuse for using older second hand gear but knowing the limits of your equipment and figuring out work arounds can force you to get creative and problem solve.
I mean I get some pros that use their camera everyday for work just don't have time to do that but I think it can be very useful to learn early on how to figure out solutions in creative ways or if you are doing photography more as an art project it can sometimes lead to some cool discoveries.
Great information, and thanks for sharing.
Totally agree with gear. Bought my first camera, Sony A6000, 8 months ago used. Took a couple community college courses on photography and Lightroom and honed the fundamentals. Bought some lights, stands and a couple sofboxes, all used, and practiced my lighting. Just bought a used background stand, some new backgrounds and supplies to hand paint a few on my own. Lastly, purchased a Sony A7r III, used of course, to get some practice with before I launch my website for portrait photography. The gear makes the work possible and sometimes easier to get done but the latest and greatest isn't necessary. Oh, and yes, all my glass is used as well. 😊
Used is such a game changer honestly! So awesome, can't wait to hear how your portrait photo business goes!
you’re so GOOD AT THIS SUNNY
THANK YOU REBEKAH :')
Thank you for sharing your tips. Your content is very helpful to me.
You're so welcome I'm glad you're finding my vids helpful 💕
The best start when it comes to your camera/lens etc is to NEVER buy new, its like buying a new car because the value plummets once you walk out the door.
Besides value, yesterdays PRO cameras are SOOO good its crazy. A skilled person shoots with a 10 year old camera and good lenses can create wonders, and no person viewing the images would not be able to tell you what make, brand, or model you use.
Personally I only buy 2nd hand PRO grade cameras, and my last purchase (Canon 1DX MK1) only set me back 500 USD and I know it will last me for decades, keep in mind, the price when this was released was over 6000 USD.
This body + good lenses can handle any job you throw at it, and none of my paying clients or customers can see if I use the latest model, or shoot with my 1DX that is 12 years old now.
It is better to buy 2nd hand old PRO gear (decent wear and tear of course) than to buy new cheaper models. If my breaks down for whatever reason, I will buy the same again, not spending on modern overpriced gear.
I am NOT alone, many photographers STILL find the 1DX Mark I to be a hugely capable camera for professional use, especially for sports and action photography. Its still a daily workhorse for many pros.
Awesome I love this ❤
So glad you do!
Beautiful video, beautiful information and what a beautiful woman indeed!
Absolutely correct. Love and support from India😍
Thank you!!
Very enjoyable upload, encouraging others with a wonderful attitude. You only missed telling us it's supposed to be fun . Keep shining bright and make the world Sparkle around you
Completely forgot to add that part, glad you enjoyed!
Great video Sunny! Especially the part when you said good photos start with the photographer not the camera.
YES this is something I believe in to my core 🙌
Great video, very useful information 👍
So glad you enjoyed!👏
Picking up one today used from B&H as soon as they email me lol going to pair it with the Samyang 35mm great work
I have this lens! So awesome for portraits. Thank you!
🥲I really miss my A7II, such a great camera, had it for 5 years, and not one complaint from me about it. Great video, looking forward to seeing more in the future.
Thank you! I love my a7ii. What did you end up changing to if you don't have it anymore?
@@sunnyjeephoto I upgraded to the A7IV. Main reason for the upgrade was the swivel screen. I know it might sound like a very daft reason for an upgrade, but with the swivel screen it enables me to use my 16mm-35mm to capture various low angle shots without laying on the pigeon poop streets in London trying to see the monitor lol. Also, the Auto Focus on the A7IV is a beast.
@@BANNERWORX hahaha not having to lay in pigeon poop is good enough reason to upgrade alone! 🙌🙌
keep going❤
love from nepal 🇳🇵
Thank you!
You got a catchy voice for viewers, great video quality and u sound so humble. You may want to speak a little slower although this was accurate but then consider your video would go global. Overall, am a big fan. Ur channel pop up yesterday and I immediately love your video. Thank you very much.
Some great pointers. The algorithm recommended your vid then I noticed you are a SLC photog. Wanted to ask what camera you using to shoot your talking head vid footage? Really clean.
I have the sony alpha zv-e10, it's a great camera and I highly recommend!
Used d810 & up. With sigma 35 1.4
What advise would you give for someone starting out that doesn't have people to shoot to get better and build a portfolio? Friends and family don't support the endeavors to shoot anyone to learn because they think I'm wasting my time in a saturated market and Facebook groups for local models has been either no shows, drug addicts who can't follow any instruction or models who think they are worth $200 an hour because they've been published in a fake Instagram magazine.
Nice video
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
You mentioned that you would prioritize buying a used body overa used lens, could you elaborate? :) I'm trying decide what system I wanna invest into and I always thought used lenses were still as good as a new ones
Lenses typically have more longevity in terms of wear & tear and also are really what amps up the quality in your photos. There's always a little bit of risk when purchasing used products, but if you're in the situation where you are deciding btwn a used lens & new body or a new lens & used body, go with the new lens. Plus, if you ever decide to upgrade your camera body, you can still use your lenses. Hope that helps!
Good info, good video.
....oh, and don't forget Fuji.
After spending $$$$ on cameras, lenses, etc, I end up often getting great photos with an old iPhone. 🙂
Hahaha iphones honestly are so good
Gear is important even for beginners
Agreed, however I believe starting photography with a heavy reliance on the type of gear or worrying about the latest & best gear can be hindering🙌
@@sunnyjeephoto This is true. They just be too caught up in the latest gear instead of the old and reliable gear that may not only be cheaper but rival or exceed evem the current gear in quality even tho it may be harder to use
Amazon is now allowing you to make payments on lenses and camera so you can get a good camera and lenses and. Pay it off
More curious than ‘eager’ maybe. 😉
I hope your curiosity blooms!
Good video, if you speak a little slower that will be more relaxing for the viewer.
Thanks for the feedback!
Hmmm the headline made it seem like you were going to provide how to start a photography business not how to take photos. Oh well.
No, just for those looking to pick up a camera for the first time! Thanks for the feedback 💗
