Hi Tony and Chelsea. Great video and tips! I see you updated the gear recommendations. Good! I am curious as to why Sony and others are not listed. Thanks
Thanks for the recommendations! Any reason you recommend the T6i over the T7i?
Common
this photographer is really good. i like how calm and in control she was even when she was working out her settings. nice to see how the pro's do it.
Tony, I have learn everything I know about photography through your book and your videos... I don't think there is a better instructor out there!
Thanks!! Glad I could help.
Finally a video that show the how the photographer works, but also shows me what the shots look like along the way! I loved it! Thanks!
Beautiful videos, beautiful presentation and beautiful people!
Thanks!
I love how relaxed the photographer was - she definitely brought out the best in the girls. Will definitely use some of the suggestions from this video :)
She was still, but you're right that if she had been running, a faster shutter would have been required. I wouldn't hesitate to photograph her at 1/30th in those conditions (assuming image stabilization).
Love this! My son slept through his entire newborn shoot. He probably opened his eyes once. He peed and pooped too. It takes a lot of patience. Now I have 2 toddlers and it's SO hard! Going to try these tips.
Just the Albrights That's the truth! Hope we helped you out.
Love her coaching of the girl. Very gentle and sweet. She made her naturally 😊😁
I usually shoot portraits in Aperture priority, and use exposure compensation as needed.
Wow, she did GREAT! I dont think I could take the pictures how she did. The way she talks to the children is awnsome. Great video.
Oh I wished my granddaughters would sit still and smile so I could take those kind of photos -- they are always in motion!!
Heya, Barry. It's more art than science, and it depends on how closely aligned the subjects' faces are to each other, how much of a tilt the head has, how far away you are, and as you mention, the sensor size. You get a feel for it, take a test shot, and then zoom in to make sure all the eyes are reasonably sharp (though often they won't be perfect). Check the Group Photos section in Chapter 6 of Stunning Digital Photography (links in the description) for more info.
Ty for the tips, and showing Samantha's photoshoot with the kids. It shows a lot of interactions with the models, and it helps me see how I should interact with mine.
Yeah, what Xarthor said. In a couple of our recent videos we discuss widllife a portrait gear with Nikon folks, and while there are a few important differences it doesn't make much of a difference at all.
Always like to see a Nikon user. But it's not about the camera. It's your creativity.
This is very helpful you should post more photoshoots! I've only just recently got my first SLR so I want to see things like this.
Looove it! I loved the place, the kids, the photographer and everything! Great job! I love this channel
Debinha Fala Sério Thanks!
Thank YOU! x
You guys have a professional style of teaching, love your work.
She does have a great connection with the kids.
This is so great. I am an introvert and am pushing out of my comfort zone. This is a great video to help me! It's funny that some people have to work hard just to talk and make people laugh!
I really appreciate this tutorial, thanks.
Thank you so much for helping us, for your passion and dedication.
This is a great video and the photographer is gorgeous.
Once again a great video with loads of useful info. Great to see a shoot and how this can be done with nothing but reflectors and ambient light. Also to see how something so ordinary like smalltalk a bit of clowning can break the tension and loosen up the subject. Thx!
Awesome!!!!!!!!! That guest photographer has got her business down pat...
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive watch something like this before. So good to seek out someone with some authentic ideas on this subject. realy thank you for beginning this up. this video is one thing thats wanted on the youtube, someone with a bit of originality. helpful job for bringing one thing new to the youtube!
Hi Tony & Chelsea. You, along with Samantha, treated us to another great lesson on outdoor portraits. Can you explain why Samantha opted to use a ND filter and a slow shutter speed, rather than just letting her shutter go to 1/500 or faster? I also wondered why she used a 50mm lens instead of a longer one which would be typical for portraits. Thanks! Another CT boy.
Sam was using the 50mm f1.8
We wouldn't have invited Samantha on if we weren't fully confident in her skills. She's very talented.
One thing to consider is that during a normal shoot, you have a lot of time to reposition your model and play with lighting. WHen you're taking pictures during a video there's a lot of pressure to get your photo fast while trying to be instructional. It's very hard!
good work tony.... im proud of you like my own son.... you did good...
Great video, Samantha is a natural! Good technique and style, I love shooting outdoors.
Wow this was 7 years ago but it’s one of the best videos I’ve seen! Keep up the rest uploads.. 7 years later 😂
Awesome video Tony. Watching all your videos. Your details are easy to learn and to remember. I know that this has nothing to do with it.....but by the way you talk and behave in your videos, I can see you are a good person. Good job.
Wow, thanks, Adrian!
best tutorial for me!! just moved me one step up from basic!! thank you!!!
This is such an amazing couple. very beautiful people
Get a Canon T3i kit--1080p and a great articulating display.
I think she's just more comfortable with the 50mm; some people get to know a particular lens and like to use it. Re: the ND filter, I was wondering the same thing, so perhaps she'll fill us in :).
She is wonderful ! Thanks for the video guys
Lol at 2:54 tony just has this stare.
lmfaoooooo
She's really.good.. thanks for sharing Tony!
This is so educational! Loved it.
Thanks for making these great videos!! Love themmmm!! Keep them coming please!! I learn something new in every video. Thank you!!!
I love your videos. I am pretty new to the photography world. I have a Nikon d7100. I feel like I am overwhelmed with trying to learn all of the ins and outs. I watch lots of tutorials. I then get frustrated and start using my Iphone 7 plus, lol.
I think it will be easy for me because I myself am 15 years old. My cousins would love posing in front of me. they won't feel shy. But still a great tutorial I learned a lot today. Thanks tony.
You're welcome!
Of those, definitely your 55-250. Check another one of our recent videos for a discussion of portrait equipment, again featuring Sam.
your videos are the absolute best!
I am a vivid Chelsea fan, we love you chelsea, lol
good educational video, very professional,
thanks
Loved the behind the scenes... Was very informative..
thanks to you both. really appreciate your videos everytime
That's just Sam's style. I'm usually in Aperture Priority mode. Mode info in Chapter 4 of Stunning Digital Photography.
What is the reason - outside girl, does not use a flash at all? Is there a few good reasons or would it be improved with a flash? the reflector I understand and I think needed more.
I really enjoyed the video, just have this question! thanks!
Love the bag strap.
+Demez Photo I would simply assume that that is how she likes her shots though outside of the background, great video.
This is a good situation to use a flash balancing light.
Oh, yeah, I responded but mis-read Lewis' comment as 1/125th. Confusion everywhere!
We just forgot to record a closing, and I figured you guys knew the drill: subscribe, like, buy the book, yadda yadda. :)
This was really helpful! Thanks!
i love watching this video it makes me feel AWESOME ahah i find it entertaining
Amazing video. I love your way that present and gave us the information .. and I truly would ask you guys to make a video about how to photo our self please !♡
Suuuper !!! I love all and every single vid of u guys !
She is awesome with those kids. In small areas like my town the photographers are very stiff old men. They act like there is something unpleasant shoved... Somewhere unpleasant. I just started watching your videos and when I go from bridge to full tilt dslr I will definitely be purchasing your book and recommended equipment.
My first camera was a Diana, just like your shirt, i was only 6 or 7 years old.
It started it all :-)
Excellent video. Great tips.
Wow.. thank you 🙌
Your videos are great!
Great information!!
This has helped me so much thank you!
We shoot raw.
Thank you for this wonderful video...I found it to be helpful!
Thank you for your tips and helpful advice, portrait photography is something I'm interested in, I've also purchased your stunning digital book, I like how you both explain everything easily. looking forward to reading your book 😊
I liked what I saw. Nice photograph
grate points and very helpful - thanks guys
thank you so much im learning how to take photos and poses to do and this helped out alot
If you are a professional photographer or simi prof photographer. Do not use a group image where people care about each other. (maybe in full size) but since you cut your golden cut, you have some finger from another person. Where else comes the rest of the hand. Finger gives a confusing element in a subject. One removes focus on the photograph.
Chelsea's voice is really clear and Tony is low and mumbly. Content of the video is good.
*takes off bracelet* xD great tutorial! Thanks!
The biggest obstacle I've seen, are the parents themselves. They get so worked up and stressed, and that carries over to the kids
hi, just returned to watch this old video again. Would it be possible to get this photographer on one of your live shows? reviewing photos of children.
Awesome video guys! Thanks so much. I have my first toddler shoot this week. I'm feeling much more confident now.
Tony & Chelsea just came across your videos & subscribed, very informative videos. Tony you are very lucky to have such a great looking model !!! Have you guys heardd anymore about the Canon 7d mk 2 as yet? You guys must make it to Sydney Australia one day!
不错，很好的视频。对我这样的初学者很有用。谢谢老师
wow great ! good work
Great video,
That was great!
I love this channel :)
Thanks :).
I like breaking the rules of composition in my photographs. Have you ever broken any rules of composition in any of your's and can you post any?
very nice video, and gives the good info
They said in another video, that it doesn't matter which camera brand you pick up and that he just ended up getting a Canon back in the day. If you invest in lenses over the time, switching brands becomes pretty unattractive. So I wouldn't say they prefer Canon over other brands ;)
Why is she using an ND filter if she has no flash and doesn't need to limit herself to 1/200 when she can do 1/1000?
I just did that for demonstration purposes. I wanted to explain it was another tool that could be used. I definitely didn't "need" to use it.
Samantha Schannon Tool for those who don't have HSS on their flashes?
OMG Your SO Amazing And Funny I really like your Way and the Photos Are Amazing Go Girl :P
awesome tips
awesome! good job ladies :)
Great Video !
Wow! Awesome tutorial! Love to learn how to photograph kids!
What´s the most common aperture and shutterspeed on a sunny day with a 18/55mm lens on my Nikon D3200? I'm just a beginner haha!
Many thanks!
sorry for my English..
Thanks, Benjamin! There's no one aperture and shutter speed that will work. Chapters 4 and 6 of Stunning Digital Photography will help you always find the right settings, though. Links are in the description.
Great shoots!!! ... I do have a qustion though. When I take pictures, they don't have that punch like your shots do. Im shooting raw but the pictures don't have that post-professional look before editing. What settings are you using to achieve such great quality during stock photo shoots?
Great video, very helpful info. Tony your mic volume was a little low in that first segment compared to Chelsea's.
great video!
1/25 seems like an unusually slow shutter speed. Especially when photographing children who tend to move around a lot. Regardless, superb video as always.
Nice video, thumbs up!
Just wondering why you don't use a tripod, especially when you were shooting them on the grass.
Great video. Love the frog hop. Why ISO 200? I usually shoot ISO 100. My understanding is that the higher the ISO the more distortion. Maybe a little higher ISO adds something good. Please educate me.
Peter Wansick Unless you need a faster shutter you should shoot at the base ISO, which is 100 on most cameras.
