Some of you had questions about the aspect ration of "after" images. I prefer a wider crop, similar to what a medium format camera would produce, so something around 4x5, but I don't don't want to crop my images. So instead I stretch the corners of the image. Here is a tutorial on how i do that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJuIfc5y172tc2w.html

This is actually my problem talking to the model saying "wow! that's really pretty, you look great! amazing! etc" this always comes on my mind but never comes out of my mouth!🤣🤣🤣 I'm an introvert/shy photographer, I wish I had that kind of confidence. You're an amazing artist Irene, such an inspiration.😊

The secret winner of this video was the RP and perhaps the RF nifty 50 mm lens. That combo was able to get great results that compared very well to the R5 and the L lens on it. Great capture Irene!

Thanks for using the RP. I have the R as well. I appreciate you still using these cameras. They are still very capable.

I actually enjoy the mmhmm and yesses!? I need a soundtrack of Irene just being excited about capturing beautiful shots lol

"I'm sorry tree, but you're dead anyways!" LOL the fact that you 'talk' to nature means you care about it, so no harm done haha! Everything was pure beauty, Shantal is gorgeous, the fall colors and light and I LOVED the styling for this one. Beautiful production and photography, Irene!

I have the RP and when I capture a random person portrait if they ask me when I’m out and about shooting when they see their picture on the LCD screen their expressions are priceless

I’m meant to be editing but I’m sitting here absolutely hypnotised by this shoot. Incredible, as always!!

Irene!! These are STUNNING!! And I love the excitement and encouragement you express in your shoots! Who doesn’t want to hear they’re looking gorgeous and doing a great job?! Don’t pay attention to internet trolls!

Love that you always interact with models and your encouranging comments.

I don't know who recommended your KZfaq channel to me, but I am eternally grateful ... I love your photographs and your simplicity in directing models. Huge hug from Córdoba, Argentina.

Irene you have the best Playlist during your videos, I absolutely love it, gives the photo shoot a nice vibe. Keep up the great work. Also thank you for doing more budget friendly videos with the RP.

You’re 100% right about being vocal during the shoot. It’s always good to let the subject know they are doing well. They’ll be happier and more responsive when they know they are making beautiful images. Great shots by the way! Love your style!

You’re very encouraging with all the responses while you shoot! The people complaining must have never been on a real photoshoot, because as a model you feel very vulnerable and dead silence is not helpful!

You can barely tell the difference between the r5 and rp. Phenomenal shots.

Beautiful images Irene, just goes to show how natural light can enhance photography, would love to have seen how the 1.2 performed on the RP and vice versa 1.8 on the R.

The things i enjoy most about your videos are your model selection and poses: they are so elegant. I also like that you do a lot of different themes.

I love when you use the RP. I feel so much better about my purchase and its potential. 😉 I'm going to just need you, to start reviewing laptops now and I'll be set. 🤣🤣

Cutting the wings for RP not using that with the 85mm 1.2 but even yet both are really beautiful, best sample review for rp on all youtube, congrats!

Hi Irene! I used your link to join PPA. I was surprised the link still worked after 3 years! Awesome! Saved $25! THANK YOU! 🙏

Irene "The Natural Light Photography Queen" Rudnyk These are amazing photographs!! 🤩🤩

I recently got my RP, then paired it with a 24-70mm f2.8. I am a Nikon shooter, so I'm still in the works with the camera buttons and functions. Great tutorial!...absolutely amazing! 👏👏👏

Ten times thumb UP for you both! What amazing and wonderful pictures you made! Shantal is amazing! And i also speak with my models and show them pictures during the shooting! It´s absolut necessary for good work! Thanx and byyye! 😍👍😉🌹 Wolf

The most TALENTED photographer of all....Irene Rudnyk!!!

The yes and uhum is much needed, as you said makes the model feel confident and help with the communication. So don't stop for nothing hahahaha

The bokeh of the RF85 f1.2 is softer, more creamy. The bokeh of the RF 50 f1.8 is more nervous. I don't talk about the dof but the rendering. You are on the top of your art.

Nice shooting. I agree about the need to be vocal during shoots both for portrait and wedding commissions…The RP would certainly suffice in any situation and I can buy two or we can spend more on glass. Beautiful model !

That 85mm f1.2 is magical in the hands of someone with your talent. That dreamy bokeh and those autumn colours have created some really beautiful shots of gorgeous Shantal. Amazing work 👍

Can you do a video about how you edited those pics?🔥🤩🤩 Soooooo GORGEOUS

R5 is in a league of its own. But the RP is definitely crushing it too. But hat's off to your wonderful photography and eye for great angles and best locations within locations. You're simply amazing. Thanks for the superb experience👌👌💕💕

At workshops, where I get to work with models, I find professional models like Shantal know many poses that flatter them and make good photographs. What's missing is what you, the current photographer. is looking for and what you like. They're stars at producing the look that's needed. While I'm not adept at Directing, it is because of my feedback, many times, at multiple model shoots, I'll have several of them gravitate to me. No illusions at 77 years old, I'll ask why? They all say, because I'm humorous, engaged, enjoying the shoot and they appreciate the feedback. They also encourage me to share their shots, because part of their compensation is getting sample photos of them in different locations, light and costumes. You do this so well Irene. You're sincere, and that "catch" of breath is perfect to convey a great "look" with the perfect light on her face and hair. I learn a lot from every video. And you encouraged me to fit an RP into my "later in life" budget.

The model is so gorgeous ❤️

I agree...being vocal with your model is extremely important!!I'm a beginner and have learned so much from your videos!!Also I'm a fellow Ukrainian 🇺🇦

Stunning work as always Irene, very professional videos too with nice music. Ignore any stupid comments regarding your feedback to models as I’m sure the models appreciate it. Looking forward to your next shoot :)

Girl people always complaining about nothing🙄. I was to mesmerized by your work to notice you were saying anything. Excellent job 👏🏻 keep it up.

I couldn’t have come across your channel at a better time. Seriously. Been going through a lot and lost touch with my camera, thank you.

Absolutly beautiful model job, the vintage look its wonderful.

These photos are just fantastic, the fall colors are great but the adjustments you add to them makes all the difference, it's not too much, just perfect. You're been add it for a long time and it shows, as usual love your work great job.

Irene, you are such a good photographer! I love how you guide the model and composing the photos...just simply amazing!!! I wish I can be as good as you.

Irene, I talk just as much as you do while shooting, even sometimes yell with excitement. Only photographers will understand this haha ♥️ keep killing it girl! X

I just ordered the RP with the RF 50mm and I am SO stoked to put it to work after watching this video!

Irene e da un bel po'di tempo che ti guardo lavorare . Ti voglio fare i miei complimenti , sei molto brava il tuo modo di fotografare ti caratterizzaza e ti distingue . Brava 👏💐 . Mi scuso se non conosco l'inglese . Buon lavoro

0:50 - Blair's preppy style I absolutely love. She has an amazing sense of style.

First of all, the results are enchanting! Absolutely fantastic. Secondly, I very much appreciate the fact that you show both the edited and raw versions. And lastly, it is a joy to see you work. Thank you for sharing these bts videos

This goes to show that the lens makes a difference, but the biggest difference is the photographer. Yes, the more expensive lens has better rendering of the out of focus areas but if you don't see them side by side one would still love the less expensive lens ones. The post edits are also worth noting here. Any video planned on how you are achieving that warm look without over saturating the skin? Great work Irene as always. Loved the camera prop.

@ "Yes," "good," comments: I perceive this as encouragement and good interaction with your models, moreover as an acknowledgement of the work of the model! Indeed, this attitude is the reason I subscribed!

I 100% agree on being extremely vocal with your model I just had to shoot myself recently and my model was very very nervous and me being very vocal with her helps her relax a lot so whoever said that you're saying it too much clearly doesn't shoot portraits or work with models

Another lovely video. Amazing pictures! I just want to say thank you for your videos. They are so inspiring and I learn a lot of things from so many of them. Even the little things, from watching you work really help me improve in my own work. So excited to go out and take photos.

hello irene, can you try to use the same lens. for canon rp vs r5

I love how she is deep into it . Respect 🙏🏿

Hope you will have the editing video coming soon:)

Those colors are so nice. The Canon 85mm I like the look of that lens better but the 50mm is still really good.

Wow... Fabulous photos as always.. and your post production is just awesome! Such rich warm colors, even in your opening video!

I love you’re passion. Don’t pay attention to those negative comments. I do the same.. I sound just like you when I take photos too.

I thought I was the only one who pulls out grass and breaks branches to declutter the shot haha

The R5 is definitely beautiful and color is in perfection. The RP is great too consider it is a lot cheaper. It is a great value with excellent results too. I enjoy the live shooting and beautiful field. In particular your hands on natural style with all the communications. Those background music are beautiful too.

I've noticed how you never out pose the model. AWSOME

Beautiful pictures even if the "After" looks clearly better than reality and while I agree and even do it to some extend, I sometime feel like cheating ^^ As for the encouragement with the "uhum, yes, just like this", it's funny but it does help boost the model's confidence and hey, it's exactly the same in bed! About the video, while I love those back scene videos, I would suggest for new ones to keep the music on the same level as the rest of the video because we set the volume to be good for when you're talking and then BANG super loud music forcing me to turn it down, then up again to hear you, back and forth several time :/ I also think it would be much better to set the Before/After side by side AND on a black background just like none of us edit or watch pictures on white background. Black is better for eyestrain and better seeing contrast :)

The "HUH! " sound when you get a nice pose is cute

Omg!!! Even the before looks so good!!!! What how!?!?

I’m impressed how much is still in focus while shooting wide open on that 85! 🔥 Amazing shots & edits!

I can never get enough of your photos! Your are my inspiration.

So professional, and the model is so lovely, very nice collab

Yesss to the gossip girl vibes ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi irene ☺️ can I just ask how you change your settings while looking at the evf? Any tips on how to change settings while looking at the evf especially when changing the focus plsss All the best

Thanks for your videos. I just hot an RP. So excited 😁

I am always so excited to see another video from you, Irene! Another gorgeous shoot. Holy cow, girl.

Thanks so much for sharing! I look forward to your videos. The colors in this shoot were so beautiful!!!

Your works are amazing! For aspiring photographer like me it is super inspiring! ♥️

Stunningly beautiful,,, and the backlighting was superb

Ваші фото просто чудові, робота зі світлом, обробка, дякую за естетичне задоволення!

Awesome photographs with an exceptional model. Great content, thanks for the video and knowledge.

Please do a tutorial on how you edited these. They are simply stunning.

Nice photos as always. Beautiful, absolutely. The model is tall.

Iloveyou ireennee. Thanks for always inspiring us.. i love autumn theme..😍😍😍

Another great vídeo! I also talk constantly with the models!

Greetings. I am ready to finally experience Full frame/mirrorless after shooting with assorted APS-C DSLR’s over the years. I am agnostic between Nikon and Canon and open to both. With all the camera videos on KZfaq I found your Canon videos both outstanding and inspiring. You and the Nikon photographer Ike are my absolute favorites. Also really enjoying your photoshop videos. Recently I had the opportunity to try the Canon EOS RP and EOS R6 with the a STM kit lens. I really liked feel and build of the R6 better. After going through lots of reviews, I saw what you accomplished with the RP and that caused me to revisit my choice. I am not a professional photographer, but a software engineer who has loved photography since my dad bought me a Canon TX in the late 60’s. Would appreciate and welcome any comments or suggestions about the RP with the L lens vs the R6 with the STM kit lens. I mostly shoot people and scenery. My biggest challenge with some of my older DSLR’s favorites have been low light/ high ISO. Thanks so much

Completely agree with your ongoing comms, I often make the mistake of being silent at times because I am concentrating so much, more on outdoor shoots, I find being tethered slows down my approach and spend time reviewing shots with the model more often so provides a different flow. Equally as a male photographer and when shooting women I find it challenging sometimes what to say as I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable with compliments about how good they are looking, tricky balance (this is talking from a hobbist perspective mind you).

I cann't stop watching. It's really amazing.

wow beautiful shooting ,I love the beautiful ray of sunshine that lands on her beauty ,magnificent ,pretty model

Better? I would just say different and a great argument that light, composition, artistic vision and the effort you put in with your models are more important than gear. Personally, I would like the option of having either look, so I have f/1.4 lenses. But I really like the look with the 50 f/1.8 and would pick that many times, but there are other times I would also pick the dreamy bokeh images with the 85 f/1.2. Excellent images

Fan of your work, and got to love the step stool its one of my favorite things to use too.

Love what you do, I am watching your videos every day! Thank you for sharing

great video! gotta dig in more as I just discovered your channel...

Hi Irene, do you mind making a video about the different comparisons between the 85mm 1.2 L and the new RF 85mm 1.2? I want to purchase a new lense again and I’m really thinking a lot about the bokeh if it’s any different than the older 85mm. I want to lnow your personal opinion. Thanks!

Your fall color shoot is just amazing.

Just beautiful. Perfect setting with perfect subject.

Hello Irene! Wow these photos are breathtaking!!! Amazing work as always! Please explain where you place your focus / what type of focus settings you use when your aperture is as low as F1.2? My problem is usually that the rest of the body is not in focus in lower apertures.. thanks so much! Love the video! xxx

Love the classic look of these photos!

When do you do this shootings? In the morning sun or evening sun?

Hi Irene! I've been watching all your work for a long time now. Everytime you upload videos i look into it right away. Would be glad if you do an "instagrammable photoshoot with a male model".

Absolutely love your work, you capture amazing photos, this video just shows it’s not the camera it’s the person behind it, keep up the great content, really inspiring 👌🏻😊 Merry Christmas too 😊

Make a video for how to edit & colore correct in post production

I want to be able to create what you make. But better then make you even better one day . You really are truly amazing. For real!

Irene I adore your shoots with Shantal as you two work so lovely and beautifully together. I love this fall shoot and the outfit you had her in as they were just magically breath taking and love how the fall surrounds you worked in to get some beautiful shots of Shantal. She is a beautiful model and you have the gift to just make all her shots just simply gorgeous in ever shoot you both do. Thank you so much for allowing us (me) to see you capture the beauty that surrounds you and the lovely Shantal as your gift is a blessing to see and learn how to create such beautiful photos as you do. For the R5 is beyond my budget but looking at the R6 what would you say about this camera, as would it be a great middle level budget camera? As I understand and have researched between R5 and R6 other than 8k and 45 mp over the 4k and 20mp I see the cameras to be about the same in AF and the other features making the R6 the better budget camera for me and give me almost as good a camera that should last me quite a while as budget for the future is going to be slim now that I'm retired. Be safe Irene and Shantal as look forward to seeing many more beautiful shoots you both do as you truly have a magical connection and create some gorgeous and beautiful photos together. 👼👼🌹🌹🌹🌹🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I decided from going to an R6 to returning it before use and now getting the R5. However I was interested in what camera setup was used to record this video

Both you and model were extra! Good job 👍🏾

Which country is this? It's so beautiful

Your pics are so amazing!!! I love your editing! It’s so gorgeous, that’s one thing I need to learn better, wish u had some corses on your editing process!! But love your videos ty!!!

If that was me i would have already fallen off that step ladder. 😁 Lol
