    Incredible content Manny, honest, insightful and informative. You incorporate your life and your real world experiences into your work and teaching, which is a God send for new photographers and creators. This makes what you do, very authentic and genuine. The synergy and partnership you share and display between your lovely wife Diana is another aspect that makes you real and relate-able. Again fuego content as usual Manny, dont every change this recipe, you got that sauce my man.

    Talk about not hating... How cool you give up your techniques to assist novice photographers to continue theirs dreams.
    Heck, I originally watched for what lights to use for my vlog. Now I'm subscribed!
    Great job bro.!

    The funny thing is: the picture got better, because you put her away from the wall? Maybe a bit. But the photo actually got better, because suddenly you had a backlight from the window (which you actually didn't realize it seems) and THAT really gives it the perfect look that was missing. Because the backlight seperates her from the wall. I love the video! Thanks for uploading it!

    YES to the little things and not being afraid to spin the shoot your own way... Easy to assume failure when your trying so hard to recreate "perfectly" what someone else's product. You're soooo on point! And so is Diana too! 🤗

    Another tip i learned from Joe Mcnally at one of his Kansas City appearances that i rarely see anyone else do is moving his softbox to just past parallel to his subjects..literally two feet away. He moved his softbox just about a foot away and acheived dramatically different results. I now move mine at small increments then take a shoot to see what i get. Great tips by taking baby steps.

    Not much of a Portrait Photographer and not good at it yet. However, i enjoyed learning from this video as i didn't know any those things. Well i knew Coconut Oil make your skin shine in a great way. Watching the video and seeing the flash's also reminded me I need to get a flash also for my Sony A7III Camera Kit as well or put one on my shopping list.

    Cheers for the location! I use my room, which is less than 10sq m, for my studio. And every time I have I shooting, I take the bed out, so I can make some space. Hustle is the word! Another must have besides coconut oil is lip balm! tip #5 :)

  • @MontiBloodworth
    @MontiBloodworth 5 років тому

    Suggestion to help fill in the shadows to make it easier and less work to do in post, add a fill card or a reflector on camera right to bounce light into the shadows and softly fill the face or subject more when using this setup.
