A initially learned photography as a kid shooting black & white then developing the photos in a dark room, that was a magical time and sparked my interest in photography. As I got older I dabbled in digital photography but wasn't until my kids were born that i really started to get an active interest back in it all.
Absolutely loved the video! All the aspects are really relevant and even the last comment on the positive effect of having good chemestry with our models, will be really, really useful. I'll take a look at all your videos and of course I'm sure that your course must be full of hidden secrets!
Great tips, but I'm trying to understand is why photographers love shooting portraits wide open. I'm having a hard time with that and not liking the results most of the time. It makes them look so soft in the face or like part of the face will look sharp but not too sharp and the rest is so soft. maybe I'm shooting wrong with being wide open. I stop down some to like 3.5-4 and my portraits are so much sharper and the detail is much pleasing the background isn't as blurred but I feel that's better than losing focus or having the person look soft.
Again an interesting topic. I request you to make one lesson about Exposure Compensation, covering where to use, how to use & why to use. Thanks Mark once again…
Thanks for the tips. 😊 Question….how do you shoot from below the model looking up and avoid that double chin effect that you can often get from the model at that angle? Is it a matter of just making sure you're far away enough to not get neck and chin overwhelming the shot?
