**NOTE** The photo at 1:50 was shot w/ the 40mm after I set down the kit lens. Sorry the B-roll shows otherwise. -Daniel
While we’re obviously not turning in our Mark IV any time soon (it comes in handy for commercial work and weddings), our goal with this video is for you not to feel limited by gear. Instead, we hope you’ll focus on placing a higher priority on building a solid photography foundation and storytelling. OR forget everything we said and buy whatever you want! We’re not cops.
Thanks to our model Destiny! Check her out here on YouTube:
Thanks to our good friend Justin Hergett for helping us out! Don’t forget to follow him on Tinder or whatever.

If you don't have anything nice to say, watch Casey Neistat's Guide to Filmmaking at 1:15 and comment it on his video instead.
Thank you for this video! I bought a used rebel today— and am so excited to LEARNabout the foundations of photography and getting my foot in the door! this inspires me
I tried shooting star trails on my galaxy s7 and I can't quite get it, the Instagram models turned out fine tho
I'm not a hater but Justin's pictures are kinda alright too
What is the white background thing called? I want to buy it
It's the man not the camera
This video was not much help. Obviously you need to know the basics of how to use your camera. You say its not about the gear but how you use it, if thats the case then why mention uprading as you get better? What do you get when upgrading?
what’s your favorite camera for portraits?
what trash music is this
I like you guys but video did not make your case. But I agree with you. What was all those legends shooting on 50 years ago? Did it have IS or two card slots?
Damn.. point made. You're absolutely right about gear being not so important. I've taken some good photos with a point and shoot camera as well as with my phone.
It's all about the post processing. None of the photos showen are right off camera.
Can you make a tutorial on how you edited these photos, like more muted toned photos with simple colors and simple edits and maybe some presets for it
Okay that shot at 2:17 straight blew my mind!!!
im not kidding, i literally choked at 1:34
The best camera is the one that makes you want to take photos.
But low light doe
You're awesome!
It's all about the Lightroom presets…
Now I See that my Canon EOS 650 D is enough, I just might take another Lenses. Thank you =)
thanks guys
Oh my gosh, not only the topic of this video is great, the pictures amazing, but you're the first photography video I see that doesn't use annoying music… Like srsly, who wants to listen to techno when they are learning about photography? Arrrh
The thing with the mirror.. I'm so putting in my sleeves . Sorry.😂
