    1. turn off the lights
    2. place the model near the window
    3. expose for the highlightes and underexpose a little more
    4. shoot wide open to bring attention to the model
    5. have the model's face turn in the direction of the light when possible, or bring her to a dark place of the room and have her face the window
    6. keep your subject in good light, it's the key
    don't do much in post prod, adjust white balance and exposure when necessary

    Off camera flash can be used to great effect for "moody" portraits too. That way you can recreate the lighting anywhere; window or no window. In fact I would argue that with OCF, you will have much more versatility.

    Great guide to moody portraits. Only thing I disagree with is the need for natural light. This is definitely achievable with strobe or small flash as well as natural light.

    I don't feel I am either airy or moody. I feel my photos are true to life, I adjust contrast, curves but I try to keep my colors true to what I see. I do LOVE both airy and moody photos but every time I try it, I feel it isn't me.

  • @Deep-Travel
    @Deep-Travel 5 років тому

    Great video as always. I do have one question to make sure I understood correctly. Are you underexposing one-stop? or are you compensating one stop from the meter reading? Does it make sense what I am asking? Thanks!

    0:15 You can't shoot both? One might argue they're no rules in art. As a wedding shooter, I shoot what's available or shots I've discussed with my client and ones that they love. When I shoot for commercial clients, I work with creative directors or head of marketing to capture whatever style they need. I think a majority young photographers need to step outside the box and not be afraid to show a bit of it all instead of thinking they have to achieve one look. Love your videos!

    I guess that in order to lower the exposure compensation the camera must be in Av. because Manual mode doesn’t let you lower the exposure compensation.

    Do you use exposure compensation or just choose a faster shutter to let in less light?

    • @MangoStreet

      we shoot in manual mode, so we normally just select a faster shutter.

    • @imnotwhitebutimwhite
      @imnotwhitebutimwhite 4 роки тому

      I assume that they needed a High ISO because
      1) They're underexposing their shots on purpose
      2) Have filters on

    At f1.4 how do you get so much in focus, so close up? I need to stand like 6 feet away with my f1.2 85mm and even then the depth of field is so shallow, I miss some detail because of it. Thanks if you answer this :-)

    • @MangoStreet
      @MangoStreet  Рік тому

      a wider focal length will have a different depth of field even if the aperture is the same as a tighter focal length.
