    I know this is a super long video, but the truth of the matter it's packed full of Real World info that should help you out on your shoots. I wanted to show you what other photographers rarely do, the good the bad and everything in between.

    Someone pointed out that the EVF looks choppy and there's a reason. You will notice during the times I am shooting the EVF is smooth and perfect. But when you see it being all choppy, that's because my eye's not up to the EVF and the LCD screen has taken over. Being that my eye isn't up to it, it doesn't need to send a smooth signal through.

    • @Lana.Created

    I learned more from this video than by watching a year of learning content. When I saw the duration I was double-minded if I should invest the time into it but it was worth every second of viewing. Watching the decision making process going through a professional photographer's head as he deals with live situations taught me so much more than any teaching course did. Thanks Fro! I probably have become a better photographer because of this.

    This is a good video to point out that sometimes a photographer has to "warm up" to the scene, be patient and be ready when an opportunity arises. Sometimes when shooting at a boring gig, just shooting mundane things or subjects stimulates your creativity and all of sudden the light goes on.

Thank you for the details and realism here.

    I've shot for 25 years, professionally for a portion of them. I started on 35mm on a K1000-like manual everything body and moved to a Mamiya RB (nothing like shooting upside down to teach composition.
    I recently moved to Fujifilm X-T3/XT-30 based on lots of research including your own.
    I've never seen shoots from this perspective. I have the luxury of shooting only what I want to nowadays, but friends and family still ask and I always wonder how others who specialize in whatever it is I'm doing would do it.
    This was very valuable to me. I identify with moving for the angles, adjusting settings on the fly, etc.
    Thanks for posting! Really great content.

    When the photog starts the video saying "I'm going to show you everything, good and bad" and then pauses to add "why did I take a photo of the back of his head?!" you know it's going to be a good learning video.
    Thank you for this; there isn't enough of THIS kind of video around to give people an insight into what goes into a shoot. I think in many ways photography as a whole could do with more reminders that no one just turns up on set, takes 100 perfect shots, and then calls it a day. The old rule of the film days comes to mind, in that "if I got just one keeper from a roll of film it was not a wasted roll of film".

      Honestly, a huge part of being a good photographer is being a ruthless editor. If I showed people the best 1% of my images, I would look like a decent shooter. If I showed them the top 50% of my images, I would look decidedly unskilled. If I showed them everything, they'd be like 'who gave an organtuan a camera?!?'

I joined a photography club which was full of old men yapping about how canon was better than my Nikon and quickly learnt that this kind of learning was not for me. I went out and all I did was shoot... shoot... and shoot some more. Keep the winners and delete the the shit ones.

      What you are saying is dead-on. I have been shooting digital since 2000, starting out with the Sony S75 and eventually moving to APS-C where I stayed there the longest. I have never really had an issue until I went with Nikon FF and it took me a few weeks to master it enough to where my OOF shots are a lot less. I am still learning. This video really puts everything into perspective that often times it takes time and that there will be bad pictures.

    dude, just set your camera to A, your minimum auto iso shutter speed to 250, your maximum auto iso to 1600 and use ev correction if its to bright or to dark. if you dont want your exposure to change in a situation activate AEL to lock autoexposure. I really hurts to see you missing nice shots because you set your exposure to slow. On sony you can link your exposure metering to faces, maybe nikon can do that too. also why no facedetection? Manual mode is like not using autofocus

    You shoot in full manual and wonder why you miss shots?
    Pro Tip for the Pro Shooter:
    Aperture Priority Mode. Why?
    I lock in my ISO as low as I think I can get away with it. I set my aperture the way I want it, and let the shutter decide the exposure. If I need faster shutter? I think, "Do I open my lens up more, or add ISO?". This is situational.
    What I find is I spend more time thinking about composition and less time on camera settings. And I rarely come home regretting the camera settings. Maybe lens choice... lol

Wich is portrait and weddings mostly in natural light. I really try to put my focus on the subject as much as I can, and my settings now, let me do that.

    Jared - I liked the showing that getting the best shot is not an easy task even for the pros. A couple of good points for beginners you showed is to learn to be comfortable with the various modes and settings on your camera and how to change them on the fly. And also for beginners learn to be comfortable shooting in manual mode even if you do not always use it. Another item you mentioned in passing is shooting raw allows one to be a little off on the exposure and correct it in post. One thing you mentioned was manually setting the ISO which is something I have found useful when shooting complex indoor lighting is a valuable tool while in manual mode.
    I liked showing the duds and the keepers and you mentioned you had 300 duds and 60 keepers. Also, you noted that when on a location you noted what settings worked for different shots and thus had an idea of how you were going to shoot each area.
    Great video showing the process of a shoot.

Being able to be critical of your own work is a really important thing, and to hear you explain why your stuff is either good, bad, or just plain boring is really great. It gives me a chance to really reflect on my own work, to think: "What did my own photo shoots go like?", "Did I do anything better? Worse?", "How could I have done better than Jared if I was there? What gear would I need?"
    I'm glad that there was some overlap. I found myself, as a beginner, making some of the same mistakes as Jared, who is far more experienced than myself. Personally, I think our tastes and style preferences are different, but I like that the core elements of what he thought made for a good photo were the same for what I thought made for a good photo, Jared was just able to articulate them a lot better.

    Respect for doing this. But you make your life hard man. You claim u want to focus on taking the photos and not messing with the settings and yet you use full manual.
    Auto ISO on modern cameras it’s pretty close to perfection. Can’t understand the complain that it jumps up and down. I shoot this kind of stuff on Fuji xt2 all the time and auto iso never let me down.
    1/500 shutter is way higher for this especially given that u have ibis which would compensate for shake in the hands, if any. You can safely go to 1/250 and as you said get cleaner results, you can even go to 1/200.
    All manual does make you great photographer. Getting the photos makes you great photographer and good photos is your end goal and what people/clients care not if you took it in all manual or shutter/aperture priority with auto iso.
    I’ll give you quick example but there is many through this video how manual focus failed you and if u were on auto u would’ve got the shot. 33:00 u get to a bright area and u don’t notice/adjust settings fast enough so the exposure is +2.
    If I was you in this situation I would’ve set manually 1/250, auto iso limited to 3200, and changing aperture accordingly. Then I can freely focus on just looking for composition without even thinking about camera settings.
    Does it make me bad photographer because I would’ve use auto ISO? I don’t think so and don’t care what other people say because it allows me to focus on the most important thing and deliver.

      Marc D Camera will do excellent job with ISO in this kind of situation. You want to take advantage of the technology to make the job easier and take more and better pictures. Nobody is going to tell me that in this situation I should manually change ISO every two seconds because I can. I’d rather have my focus on getting the picture. I would just limit the ISO range beyond which I am not willing to go.

    Fro....I can completely relate to your frustration on this photo shoot. I tell people a photoshoot is like a band playing a concert. You just don't come out and start rocking, you need to roll into it and find your groove. I find taking pictures and playing live like I do, are very similar. So I don't put too much pressure on myself when I'm playing the first-set, or taking the first few pictures of a photoshoot.

    Wow this is exactly what I needed!! I've been beating myself up during shoots!! I thought it was just me that took a little to get going and felt like some shoots took forever to get going. Also thought only I took dumb shots! This was amazing! Glad to know it's normal to start slow and take not as good photos. Really appreciate it Jared! Been in photography for a little over a year and I wouldn't be where I am not without a lot of your content!

  • @TiloWieland

    Really good video ! Most of the people think a picture is only good, when all the settings are perfect but what really matters the moment or situation you want to catch.
    Thank you for all the time you invest in your videos.

    This was really great, and I learned an incredible amount from this..... This is similar to how a conductor of an orchestra learns. Maybe it's why it made so much sense to me. I am watching a great photographer, watching and you are allowing us to get into your mind. The critique of every aspect of your actions showed me how to set up a picture and be patient. Thank you for this amazing content.
    Since you asked, I would watch any and all shoots you would be willing to share in this format.

    All in all, one of the most interesting and informative UA-cam videos on photography that I've ever seen. And I've been unable to get out and about for health reasons for the last 6,7 months or so, and I've watched a lot! Thanks, Jared. Your enthusiasm for the subject is inspiring.

    I am genuinely very impressed. I watched this video in its entirety and I think it is exactly the right length. I would love to see more videos like this. I would like to see street photography of strangers like this for example. You did a great job of the narration. The reasons why it was the photo was a good shot and why it wasn't a good shot were very useful. Equally why you were changing settings, very useful. Only thing I would have liked to add is if you directed someone or instructed someone to hold a pose or redo that moment, that we could hear that audio. I think learning how to direct people is an essential skill that I would love to learn more of from you. Looking forward to the next one of these videos

    This is, IMO, a must-view video for all photographers; why? Because it walks through a shoot, moment by moment. Even the most seasoned photographer may see something that he/she used to but got into a set pattern and forgot about that 'thing...'
    Novices can pull all kinds of useful info to enhance their career!!

Thank you to the Fro for allowing us to glimpse life behind the camera, and see how you adjust camera settings effortlessly to achieve your desired images. It's second nature to you, sir. For the rest of us, it's a major impediment. Thank you for your honesty here.

    I really respect putting out this kind of material. A lot of pros want to spread around a magical image of their skills or are shy about showing what real work is like.
    More of this would very good for people as learning material. I do a photography course for beginners and there is an issue of students looking for some magical understanding and not understanding that a lot of the results come from time and effort. This show honestly how the process can ne quite messy in places and still yield great images.

  • @8806gavin

    This video is great. I've shot my friend's wedding, multiple events at the Brewery I work at and various others where my internal panic is going nuts from thinking everything is going wrong until it starts to click and I stop thinking to the point where it's automated movements. Knowing that every photographer probably goes through this and tosses away 1/3 of their shots is very reassuring. It also helps that i am currently letting my Nikon d750 collect dust while I use my Z 6 only and the autofocus is still tricky for me. I'm REALLY hoping it's a game changer when they come out with their new firmware update. Thank you for the dirty honesty.
