Hell yeah, this is the video folks need to see! The tip about going wide to counter the harsh light being unflattering for a close up is wildly useful. Thanks Reggie!
Thanks for this Reggie. I’m ironically viewing this the day after a harsh light and rich shadow shoot. This video is an awesome debrief of sorts and will help me both in the editing and to figure out if I would change things in the future. Question: when shooting in these conditions on Fujifilm (and shooting RAW) do you have a preference for film simulation to make sure you’ve exposed to preserve as much data as possible?
"there is no wrong or right way to photography, there's only one our way". I'll remember that. Was kinda worried that what you were trying to pull of wouldn't work but this is truly beautiful. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the video, interesting to see your process. Have you thought to go vertical ? You would have had the whole reflection of them in the frame. Keep producing this type of video, much better than gear review.
for me it was intentionally shot that way. the converging lines create a faux leading line effect with wide angle lenses. but i can see how you may do that for your shots if you prefer straight lines. there's no right or wrong way!
Well explained the idea you had. It is a beautiful image. The light is nice. There is only one thing. The couple is looking in different directions. Usually I would like to see ta newly wed couple looking at the same direction. They are now officially taken a path together to the same direction in life.
I hear you on that. For me this was intentional. I had plenty of photos of them looking at each other. And others off into the same direction. The beauty is you can take that idea and use it for your own clients. Love your interpretation of what opportunities were there
I hear this comment. I would have had him looking back at her slightly downward as if he was wondering why she is stopping to look in that direction in their get away moment. It’s slightly different reason than the original comment. I think that pose would have added an element of mystery in a moment where they were perhaps getting away from everyone to be mischievously alone.
@@Reggiebphoto the way you approach the scene and how you analyzed it. Sometimes I go into it guns a blazing without taking the time to assess what’s going on and what looks good
@@Reggiebphoto the part about reading the histogram. I didn't know that there was highlights and whites. but it all makes sense. I would just make sure my "highlights" didn't touch the right side of the histogram but I Realized I have to move the graph a little more to the left to really avoid the blowouts
How did you like this style of video? Thoughts, feedback, or requests?
I love this style of video. Question for ya, how often are you marking up your photos like this?
I don’t normally mark up my photos. It’s something I’m doing after the fact to help explain what I see and communicate those things to you all.
Kinda copy cat Chris Chu here...

That’s great to know!
I love the draw overs. It helps me see what you see.
Thanks Matthew!
love this video format, make it a series pleaseeee
That’s my plan! Hopefully more people will tune in,

No. I just shoot in Reggie’s Portra.
Technically this is a great, you can tell you really know photography
Thanks 🙏🏽
Where did you learn so much about light and photography? Loving your page and your chill vibe. Thanks for the knowledge!
I would have added slightly more brightness to the image, but everything else made sense to me, and the composition was fantastic.
thanks Reggie. This is a great educational video!!
Appreciate you tuning in!

no. My intent for this image wasn’t a complete mirror reflection of the couple. Good thought tho
Beautyful shot! Personally i would adjust vertical lines to be straight, what do you think?

Hey Reggie, is that a Rose Anvil harness. Please do a comparison with Holdfast; please, please 🙏
I don't have either anymore. Now I have a clever supply co one
Great video. More please.
Hello Reggie, spectacular photo and all process explanation from the composition to the end result. Really nice channel!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for tuning in!
I’m digging it, awesome looking photo at the end for sure!

For sure. You’re more than welcome to execute that vision with your own clients 🤘🏽
Engineering and photography......who'd have thought that combo would work so well! Lekker bruh!
it's more related than one would think haha
Reggie, the light bender.
haha!
I enjoyed watching this video, Reggie. Well done! Yes, I’d watch more. 😊
More to come!
Loved it, another vote to make it a series.
Man this is such a dope video. Really appreciate you sharing your approach and technique so that we can learn. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is great bro I've learned something!
Thanks bro! What did find most helpful?
