I'm a dummy! I forgot to include my favorite shot in the video which was the one by the flowers. I posted that one on my Instagram. Check it out here: http://geni.us/MannyIG
Love Ted Forbes, he looks like Jack Nicholson
Heavenly model — XXX
Siiiick Collabo – man!
I really loved this challenge. I feel totally inspired to go out and do this!!!!
Really great video. Some photos strike me as being poor compostiion, though, some unnecessary objects might ve been removed
I'm shocked Ted didn't show up shooting a 100 yr old glass plate camera on a tripod with a huge bellows, cape and magnesium powder flash.
You should do more of these kind of photography challenges. Like make it a series with a guest challenger. 🤘
This model's a champ lol. Even w all that rushing around and being flustered she isn't phased at all. Such a professional.
This looks like a hard area to shoot in. Not really any great locations. Manny got better shots.
The shot with the car is so awful in my opinion. Bad composition
Honestly I just don't like shooting with models . I don't know who invented this procedure.
I don't like any of the photos to be honest. Somehow I don't like the full body portraits.
She looks really distorted in a lot of shots.
I'm here for the tips..
im not sure if anyone talks about this with Sony cameras. But when I wanna change lenses with my a7xx I turn on the aps-c crop sensor mode to turn my 35mm into a 50-ish, or my 85mm into a 120-ish. I don't use this for video, it works well for photos as well.
that model knows her thing
Ted is the best 🙂 i love him
5:00 did Ted missed that great Penske background while talking??..?😳
Manny did better job! 5 Stars ✨ Thanks Manny, you're the best! 😆
6.17 feets aren't in the frame?! Why? 😁
Olga from Russia 🙂 Russian girls are the best!! 😆
I love how unselfish this man is with his gear, Thanks bro. PS you killed these
That girl is stunning!!
Loved that long-legged model. She had the moves. She could even make my work look good. I live near to S.F. And might call this girl for a shoot soon!
The model was very good!
Your Photos were very nice as well.
You could literally see that you had a plan on how the final photo should look like.
Teds Photos except the third looked like amateur pictures to me.
