    Gotta say your sense of posing and directing people is so fun to watch, you make them feel comfortable around the camera, love to see it!

      Thank you so much! That’s always the goal. Once they feel comfortable the shots start getting so much better and natural feeling 🙏

    You're an inspiration, my man. I second what you said about working with artists - I, too, love working with other creatives. Musicians tend to know who they are and unapologetically express it to the world, which makes our job as photographers easy and the subject so much more interesting. I don't do this as my day job but I'm feeling myself more and more drawn towards portrait photography for artists, so your tips regarding making the most out of bts shoots are very valuable. Thank you for sharing.

    So sick bro! Definitely subbed! I had a question bro. Typically, for the shoots indoors, what focal length to you typically like? 24?28?35?50?
    I’m starting to schedule my first Portrait shoots and I wanna try out different focal lengths but not sure what to use!

    • @SkylerWagoner
      @SkylerWagoner  22 дні тому

      Thanks for the sub dude! Definitely recommend 35mm and up for portraits lenses. Anything under 35mm distorts the subject a bit. Which isn’t always bad! I just stick with anywhere between 35mm-100mm

    Loved this, spot on flash exposures too! What flash settings are you using? TTL? Any exposure compensation? Currently using EOS 1V and 600EX. Sometimes inaccurate

    • @SkylerWagoner
      @SkylerWagoner  5 місяців тому

      Thank you! So I was using my 430 EX II on ETTL where the camera uses information obtained through the lens to calculate how much light the flash needs to emit for the appropriate brightness. That’s why they were exposed so well, I’d imagine!

      Thank you! 🙏 At box speed! My light meter does expose the image darker sometimes which gives it that moody look.

    • @SkylerWagoner
      @SkylerWagoner  6 місяців тому

      Thanks so much! I’m glad they are helpful for you 🙏 I shoot in manual mode but the 630 has a light meter that’s built into the view finder. When the meter is right at 0 (in the middle) you have a properly exposed photo!

      Maybe 3 or 4 times throughout the whole shoot! Just use it when I want that point and shoot look or if the image needs more light 💡
