Lol this just came up randomly in my youtube feed so i assumed it was new. Since i’m currently reading the book and watching the videos along with it (god damn those QR codes word great!), i’ll watch this later when the book directs me to it 🙂
thanks for the info
Having everyone wear those white collared shirts makes them look like they are in a cult.
Thank you so much for your suggestions, it's really very helpful as I have an assignment today
Going to shoot my sister's family portraits and this was very helpful, thanks Tony!
Excellent advice as I prepare to open a small photography business for fun somewhat
I love your videos, Tony & Chelsea!! Thank you so much. They are lovely to watch, very informative, and, well, Chelsea is simply beautiful! 😊❤️
Thank you Tony
Thanks Tony
Thanks so much for this great piece of advice!! 🙂 What do you think of Fuji XT2 for group portraits, please!?
Love your channel !!!!
Would you recommend to still use the crop factor adjustment to aperture with crop sensor cameras?
Would a Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens work for a group of up to 30 individuals? Valuable information! Thank you
really useful thank you a lot!
Thanks Tony,,, very nice 📹,
I am so glad you have removed your goatee. 😀
Love your stuff. Appreciate you two!
Never shoot groups of people in direct overhead sunlight. They tend to look like Nazis and Lee Harvey Oswald.
I have viewed a lot of tutorials on many sites and I really like and understand Northup Photography better than any I have seen. Clear, down-to-earth instructions and right speed and tone to his voice. Thank you for this!
Awesome video. Answers so many of my questions. Many thanks for all the help! 🙂
Great Tips! Thank you!
Really useful
Excellent tips, thank you! I was actually taking notes as I watched! 🙂 Finally someone touching on all the aspects, including settings, plus real hands-on tips on how to set up groups. Great video, thanks, still appreciated in 2018 🙂
Love your video's thank you for the effort, this is a huge amount of work and I really appreciate everything you teach…Bob Miller
This is what I want to know not this!! You're talking about a set up style shot, the idea of the family photo was in mind before THE whole thing even happened! No… I want info on how to take family photo's of, let's say we all went out to a restaurant, and then I was asked to take a photo afterwards and now we're all out in the parking lot of the restaurant and ready to take a photo, or we're all at the grandparents house for a BBQ, and I'm now taking a family photo! And so everyone is wearing whatever!, whatever , random clothing that they just wore to the family dinner! And now we're all getting together for a nice family photo! WHAT DO I DO THERE?!!??! What you're saying here, is like more a studio, set up, the idea was in mind! WAY before everyone showed up! That's not what I'm wanting to know about, or most likely what most people are NOT going to be doing! Most people are doing what I'm saying, where the shot was not set up at all! NO studio lighting!, none of that stuff! Most people are studio photographers!
Question: I loved the video and purchased the ebook for kindle. Is there a way to get a version (digital version) with better quality pictures? The picture quality in the version I have is very low resolution and off putting while viewing on my iPad. It would be a much better experience with higher resolution photos.
Whats up with the stash????
Great video. Right to the point. Very dense information flow. Excellent. Thank you so much.

Excellent video Tony. Great and very useful tips. Thanks.
