Exactly, you're capturing moments not pre-made, standardized poses. Great job!
This is what i do in these situations. I just become a fly on the wall. I DESPISE conventional newborn photos lol. I love what you did and GREAT job, Chris!
Love these images
Chris - love your channel, your work product and your reviews. I'm a longtime A7R2 and A7R3 user, but I recently picked up a new Leica Q2. You probably know that it has a super little 28mm 1.7 fixed lens on it, and I am loving it. I must say that I got my inspiration for shooting wide from you and your work with the G master 24mm, which I also own. But if you get a chance, I'd love to see how you might review the Q2 and what you would get out of it. Thanks for all content!
Hey Steven, yeah I was actually looking at buying one, there was a used one in a shop here in Auckland. Will probably try get my hands on it for a review
This is how I'd like to do newborn shoots one day! I don't like posing people either, it's more rewarding getting those beautiful candid moments. Your work is amazing as always! Such an inspiration
Thanks Angie
Fantastic images, love that environmental style for newborn as an alternative to a baby portrait. I think that baby will absolutely love looking at those in 30, 40, 50 years time to show the context of the relationship with parents, the clothes, decor etc.
Thanks man. That's my thoughts also.
Amazing images. That bubba will look back on those photos in 30 years time and get so many more feels than the standard studio baby photos. Nice work Chris.
I loved it, thank you for sharing.
the Sigma 35 1.2 is a BEAST! Great video as usual Chris!
Capturing life...not poses. 100% my preference. Love your work, man. Thanks for all the great advice and content. Keeps me motivated and driven to shoot everyday and try things from different perspectives. Cheers!
That thing is kinda heavy sometimes but it’s amazing and worth it.
I own both the Sony 24mm GM as well as the Sigma 35mm F1.2. They are and will stay in my bag for a lifetime. I really love the Sigma 35mm f1.2, and the new Sigma 85mm . All amazing performance on my A7r4 and my A9 II. Nice review
Thanks Chris!!!! Well done. Beautiful photos!!!!!
Hey Chris, have you totally converted to the Sigma 35 f1.2 now and sold the sony 35 f1.8? Do you see a dramatic difference and is the change worth the extra weight?
Cheers Dave
I'm toying over the same question in my head and mostly thinking from a wedding prospective, would be great to get Chris's thought's on this one..
We need a full video on that 35mm. Photos look dope!
Great photos! I much prefer warm natural photos like this than fake looking fashion style kid photos. And yes the Sigma 35 f1.2 is amazing. I usually love small light primes but for events and portrait shoots I would never leave my 35 f1.2 at home. Beautiful bokeh and very sharp wide open. Probably the best lens I have owned.
Photos are unreal man!! you really crushed them.
The pictures have an awesome vibe! I love my 35mm 1.4 Sony Zeiss, but I tend to grab the 24 more often
This was really awesome my man! Thanks for the insight.
Really improving that talking head setup/lighting/grading, looks very neat!
Thanks man. Learning slowly eh lol
beautiful images with the beautiful lens!
Damn, 35 1.2 looks amazing
That 35 looks like a damn 70-200 lol. The 24 GM is just so light and small and pleasurable to hold. Plus I can make my 24 into a 35 with the riv, I can't make a 35 into a 24...I feel like I would miss some great shots. First world photographer problems I know.
But u can make the 35 into a 50
@@Kaisolostudio the key part was not being able to make the 35 wider....not longer
@@robbie154 obviously 😂 I’m saying that’s a pro, not a con in favor of the 35 on the RIV.
Awesome video! Love that lens!
Same here, I HATE posing people and most people I've shot hate being posed - guess I've been lucky in my couples so far! Would love an updated wedding kit list including the Minolta Riii 😉 tempted to take the same inspiration from my Pentax SLRs haha
That was a great idea I will use it thanks
I had the 35 1.2 sigma but it wasn’t good for me it was too heavy I didn’t like the contrast for my shoots ended up selling it and getting the Sony 35 1.8 and I LOVE that lenses works great for my eye
I've seen so many of your videos and realized I was unsubscribed! So sorry! Love your content and style. Cheers!
Great video! It would be nice to see a comparison between the sigma 35mm 1.2 and the small sony 35mm 1.8. I have the sony, is it worth the upgrade? Thanks
wicked stuff mate!
As a former SRT101 owner, I like your nod to Minolta :)
Haha yeah I have a SRT201 now :) just bought it
👌🙏🏾
Love the video again. 35 1.2 is on my camera all the time since release. One idea: can you put up some EXIF info with each photo? Maybe something small in the corner?
Oh yeah for sure. I meant to do that actually. Will do in the future
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Thanks mate! I liked the before/after photo transitions in this video too. Keep the content coming!
❤️💯✔️
Strange question, but I love that camera strap. Do you remember what it is?
Hey man yeah it's from a guy here in NZ, called "The Knot Leather"
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Beautiful, thanks!
Love the photos, great job. Do you use silent shoot while doing this kind of job?
Not this time. I don't use it much tbh
anyway to buy the CTM3 The Universal preset on its own....currently broke :I
Super picts !
LOL is that a minolta sticker on your camera? I love that, I need a pentax sticker immediately
Yeah bro, went cray with the label maker lol
Hey Chris, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and insights. As always, it's very much appreciated! I'm in a pickle and was wondering if you could help. I'm on the hunt for a 35mm and I'm torn between the Sigma 1.2 and Sony Distagon 1.4. I know you've raved about the Sony 1.8 but if I'm looking for that extra bit of light/depth of field, but don't want to compromise on autofocus capabilities and overall image sharpness. Do you have any thoughts on the Sony Distagon 1.4 and if so, which would you choose between that and the Sigma? Thanks in advance for your help!
I owned the Zeiss for a while. I can’t see any reason to buy it over the Sigma at all tbh
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer thanks for the quick reply and feedback mate. Much appreciated. I guess my concern with the sigma is that it might not be as quick with autofocus as the Sony proprietary lenses.
Nah it’s just as fast if not faster. These new ones aren’t like the old sigma lenses
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer legend. Thanks mate. Stay well and keep up the great work!
Hey Chris. How long did you spend with this family?
Maybe 30 mins, 45 mins tops
How did you set your prices for your photography? Can we hear your tips with this!
Like how did I decide what to charge? All my prices are on my website btw if you want to see
I love this style myself too. how many shots did you deliver from this?
I think 60 shots or something
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer cheers Chris, I think that’s about perfect. I have a tendency to over deliver.
Most people do mate. Specially with weddings.
Hi Chris, trust you areweel, not checked out your videos for a while, beard is amazing !! anyway, May I ask what wall art albums or printed product do you offer your clients, what is you most successful product`, thank you in advance
Hey, I dont try that hard to sell albums or prints tbh, I like to keep it real simple, lots of weddings for a solid price gets me what I need. But when I do sell them it's from Queensberry and usually like a 8x8 or 10x10 leather album
I have used the Sigma 35mm f1.2 for all my weddings (11) this year and I'm not sure if I'll keep it. It's an amazing lens...beautiful bokeh, really fast, amazing AF paired with my Sony A7iii (I shoot almost always wide open), BUT it's toooo heavy. 90% of all my photos are taken with the 35mm, and after 12-16h of shooting with it I barely can move of back pain.
I would love to see a new f1.4 from Sigma, like the new 85mm f1.4.
@@UCXDKZJPb0_YAKa41NzA5yeg love your videos!
Do you have a dual camera harness? Like a moneymaker etc
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Yes, I have. The other camera on my harness is a Nikon D750 with the 85mm f1.8 (waiting for the A7IV). Tried it without the Nikon, but still too heavy. Never had problems with my back before...maybe I'm just getting old (33 now) :D
33 lol jesus now I feel old
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer 😂
Chris, I’m a day one follower. Love your work but this is NOT newborn photography, it’s lifestyle photography that features a newborn baby but real talk you don’t “do” the wrapping, etc. because you don’t have those skills. Have you even wrapped a baby bud? Do you know the amount of technical work that’s involved in capturing stunning newborn work!? It’s not just throwing a baby in a prop with a swaddle and snapping photos, it involves incredible on site practical effects with a lot of baby handling patience and lots of technical post production work.
What are popular lenses for that sort of photography?
Bro I have 4 kids I know how to wrap a baby haha. I'm pretty sure in the video I said I don't do it cause I don't like it and I'm not good at it, or something like that.
It's new born photography in the way the couple asked me to come take photos of their newborn baby so I dunno what else you need. I think what you need to say is it's not classic newborn Anne Geddies type stuff. I have plenty of experience in studio photography, and I have shot that kind of new born work before. I don't think it was very good but like I said. That's not what I do and I don't pretend to be an expert in it, just personally I don't enjoy doing it and I wouldn't want those photos on my wall but that's just my personal preference. Just means my photographer friends get more referrals from me lol. But appreciate the support man
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Bro, I’m not questioning your abilities. You’re AMAZING. I love you and your channel. And yes you did say you don’t like wraps and buckets. I respect that and I’m not trying to enforce a “traditional” form of newborn photography. All I’m saying is your “newborn” photos are as much as a “newborn” photo as they are an architectural photo or a product photo or photographic journalism.. isn’t there something unique about a “newborn” photo. I was genuinely disappointed when I saw my FAVOURITE UA-camr post a video of him doing a newborn photo shoot.
Let’s have a laugh and see if you do know how to wrap a baby (this is not a swaddle, actual wrapping is a newborn photography practical effect). I’ll post a video on my channel of me wrapping a stand-in newborn baby. You do the same. Wrap a newborn or stand in newborn baby. You up for the challenge?
Dude I'll fail I don't need a challenge to tell you that. If you do traditional new born photography thats what you do. Tell you what when I get home I'll change the thumbnail to newborn lifestyle photography lol how's that?
And I'm not attacking you either. If you followed me from the start you know I mean well lol
Let me ask you this. For a thought experiment... Do you classify yourself or post videos on your channel titled "traditional new born photography" or just "new born photography"
Cause wedding photography used to be super old fashioned and posy but I don't class myself or post videos saying "modern wedding photography" if I get hired to take photos of a newborn baby what I'm doing is newborn photography. You just have a very different style, process and end result which is totally fine.
Nice beard.
Honestly I think the camera and lens did its job but my opinion you failed by doing your job which is controlling the light, composition also putting them in a position where the light is on the subject . Also not using the whole frame of the image. These are things that photographers are supposed to do which separate them from the average photo taker. Theirs a few goods shots but print worthy.
I don't usually reply to trolls cause it's just an endless loop with no actual constructive criticism which is something I actually appreciate haha but here we go
A: I didn't "Control the light", we firstly I'm not jesus so if you mean the sun there's not much I can do but besides the point which you haven't actually specified btw if you mean window light I like it how it is, it looks great. If you mean using a flash, I have studio strobes but I don't like the look of it for this kind of shoot.
B: Controlling the composition? I composed the image to what I liked, and this is my style so I'm not sure what else there is to control.
C: Putting them in a position where the light is on the subject... Did you not watch the video?
D: I didn't use the whole frame.of the image? What do you even mean by that? Cropping? Cause I didn't crop anything. That doesn't even make sense.
Besides all that, when I delivered the photos both of them actually cried because they loved them so much, so for me I achieved my goal which is delivering images that my clients love. If you think I failed I'm terribly sorry and I'd really love some guidance on how I can improve.
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer hey if you think you gave your best efforts. Cool. I'm pretty sure you've seen images that separate yours from others. Btw I'm a artist not a photographer. 5 years from now you will look back in WTH was I thinking. Sincerely your Mr. Troll from Ashcan ✌🏼
