I absolutely love this woman! Such a phenomenal teacher through and through.

She has good stuff. But key moment was when she said can't hire her without hair and make up getting done. It may have been a piece of cardboard, but who provided the dress, the hair styling session, and the make up job? It quickly becomes a head shots and pretty simple shots with a softbox without the props. In fashion it's rarely how you shoot, it's what you shoot. More people need to deconstruct how a photo was done. Now the idea of the head thing made from Ikea mats was really good. But is that photographer, or is it a stylist that already had that, or made it, or saw it some place else and made it? But if more people would learn to demystify photos they' would realize it's less about the picture taking and more of just together a collection of things to photograph. Like she said, get in front of more interesting things. But she has a super refreshing approach and personality for somebody that"s involved in the fashion side.

lindsay adler is such a genius !

Thank you, B&H, great document from the great Lindsay Adler!

Career changing. What genius. Thank you Lindsay.

That was amazing, good job Lindsay, I learned a lot.

The most useful video I have ever seen.

Very useful and well-organized presentation. I like the way she deals with the basic business strategy issue of whether you want to be a high-value photographer or one that shoots in the commodity space (good luck with that today). Thanks to Lindsay, B&H and the sponsors.

So grateful for this presentation! Absolutely phenomenal 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Love this, thank you. This is so inspiring.

You rock!! Thanks for sharing your craft with us.

Truly amazing work Lindsay! So inspirational

Thanks, Lindsay! As always, I learned a lot.

I love the statement about how we "MAKE the picture not TAKE the picture." There are a lot of newbies who think that the opposite is true.

Professional, informative and very inspiring. Thank you Lindsay and B&H.

Lindsay, i am such a fan!

Thank you for having these seminars. Great tips.

Thank you so much putting this online!

GREAT PORTRAIT TIPS! As a photojournalist, I'm ALWAYS looking to improve my portraiture skills, and you are right on target with your video...Thank you.

Fabulous ...so enjoyable and informative - thank you

This a was amazing Some days I don’t like you because you make me take a hard look at what I am doing. In my area I am in the top two for prices and 1 for the amount of senior that I do. I am fetching a lot of how I do business. I just purchased the Mola demi can’t wait to use it for a senior Thank you for all that you do. I am a fellow New Yorker that now lives in northern Arizona.

amazing. next time when I'll be in NY hope I can visit your studio... Loved your Presentation.

Fantastic video. Thanx! Very inspirational.

Thank you Lindsay love it - learned so much! ( and so agree on getting to know your subject! ) Very inspiring!! Big

wow, master work!

Lindsay... i dig you girl... we are so like minded... i shoot with 1 camera and 1 lens.... Sony RX1R2... yup, simple enough... not real impressive unless you know what it is... but fortunately i do and don't care what others might think... Like you... i enjoy getting to know my clients... it's the hallmark of what i do... I do not post much of my work... it is to tedious but love what you are saying in your video... thank you Lindsay

Thank you! I learned a lot today! 👍

This is a fantastic video. Very informative.

Very informative knowledge videos. I got a lot from this. Thank you for all.

Great video thank you ...really interesting.

Very good session, thank you!

41:32 OMG! :D so creative and resourceful

Love your work so much. Wish I wasn't stuck here in WV where it is next to impossible to be creative or do much of anything in photography.

Very professional and informative presentation and nice models thank you.

B&H WITH LINDSAY ADLER GRET... GRET... GRET. THANKS B&H I LIKE THIS VIDEO

Gorgeous Subject

I'd like to photograph Lindsay! Stunning.

Fab.Thank you.

Your work is inspiring

Great content! Thank you so much!

It’s so true. I don’t know my tulles from my tools. I’m a macho, caveman like dude who’s favorite colors are British racing green and labrador retriever yellow. But thanks to the miracle of the way the human brain works, you’ll find that once you have a basic plan you’ll start seeing all kinds of props and wardrobe you would never otherwise notice in 1 million years.

great!!

Lindsay says that photographers make all kinds of excuses like "I don't have the gear, it's where I live, etc". I live in a town of just over 1,000 in one of the poorest counties in my state, and no one wants to spend over $50 on their portraits. So, I call my county, "The $50 and a disc" county. People wanting their portraits done in my county usually ask others on those Facebook yard sale sites "Can you recommend a good photographer who is cheap?" And you'll see the momtographers who shoot everything in Program mode just flock to those pages and flood that post with their photography Facebook page links. So, needless to say, though I'd love to do portraits, I'm kind of stuck right now just photographing local car shows in the Summer or family events.

It's very helpful video 👌

I continue to be surprised at how much more difficult cinematography is and no one cares because the work gets the attention, however in professional portraiture the artist gets the focus and the models are “props”. It is an ego based craft....of course that just my opinion. Still an amazing lecture.

Outstanding Event! Lindsay, what size is your umbrella?

Thank you Lindsay and B&H!! I'm not finding the Notes and Presets as advertised in the video when I go to that link. Is there a different link I should be going to?

How do you tell your family to expect to spend three to five hours. The teen’s reply. “UHHHH!”

is there a link someplace to the downloadable materials that were mentioned at the beginning of the presentation?

Fun drinking game: take a shot every time she says New York. Lindsay if you’re reading this I love you please let me intern lol

What set of gels did you use?

Is that Kyle's mom? I love South Park!

Interestingly most people drop down saturation instead of vibrance... wonder why Lindsay chooses to use the vibrance slider.

Not so subtle dig at @PeterHurley at 1:45 😂

These days people are not insecure..they expect Photoshop to fix everything:)

32:52 Does it bother you that the girl is right up to the left edge of the frame? I would think it works much better is there were more space on the left then on the right, Or have the girl facing right instead.

Amazing, why ISO 200?

Hi Lindsay.. My name's Herman from Indonesia. I am a photographer passion in fashion. Do you use EF 24-105L F.4 first generation or mark ii? I use first generation EF 24-105L F.4 with canon 77D and M50, but i feel like it's not sharp enough sometimes.. and usually out of focus. Is a full frame camera will make a different for sharpness? As I know, you are using Canon 5D. If you dont mind answering my question. Thank u.

I love Lindsay's work and teachings...so creative, well done and inspirational. She provides so much insight. Love the beauty dish lighting and wondering the size/make/model? Assuming Profoto. Also, can it be purchased at B&H?

Correction. If you gonna shoot in low light. You buy a nikon d850!

As a color blind photographer... Do you suggest I completely trust that color checker with the plug in?

Does anyone know what umbrella she is using looks like a 84 cheetah

Before you can find the answer, you have to know the question.

great lesson from lindsay. Not good who was filming this, stayed on photos to long while she was showing other things and we missed it, wake up video people.

Lady Gaga is so talented

Are these pictures are matrix metered??

Bambi Cantrell says if you can afford yourself your too cheep

No flashmeter?

Rembrandt's studio was a big bank of windows but all of his paintings are super dark and shadowy..

Where are Lindsay’s notes located?

Yes photographers make a lot of excuses but...that's because we don't have alot of time, we're very inefficient managing out time lol

54:52 The guy in the background looks shady like he's done something really bad.

A person could build that castle out of styrofoam then composite it in

Yes artistic and glamorous but art portraiture doesn't necessarily need to be. I don't think I'd make it there with a style that doesn't look to flatter - the opposite really.

Out of focus art...? Never heard of it for a reason.

What is she wearing for gods sake??? may as well be wearing a house dress! HAHAHAAAA

borrowed from everybody.
