Love this episode, I especially loved how she said "if you give a client a photograph where they feel something, they don't see anything about themselves that they can be critical about."

This is amazing and has got me thinking in a whole new way. What mystifies me is how (esp. on DSLR) you are varying the camera settings so much and nailing the exposures. I am still in that place where I take a test shot first and usually am way underexposed. Can you make a class on how you determine those settings (seemingly on fly). Thanks!

Elena is so insightful! She's as much a psychologist as she is a photographer. Her emphasis on feelings, authenticity, etc., was so informative!

I'm watching your video and learning so many new things. I have a question, please help me out of this. I saw all of your photos are clicked by under 2.8 f stop. How do you focus everyone's face in the photos. How you use your focus point. Please help me with this. Thank you so much. 💕

I absolutely love this, thank you for this video Elena (and B&H). To Elena, your shots are gorgeous, and I noticed that your clients are not "styled" - meaning, they seem to be wearing not necessarily coordinated clothing, or colors, and that there are often mixed patterns in their clothing - but it still WORKS! And I love that. I'd love your thoughts on clothing for a shoot.

How would you do lying down shot with older kids that can’t straddle mama?

@natashahernandez2272 7 ай бұрын

Where are your focal points that you are able to keep the kids in the background in focus on pose 6 while having a 2.2-2.5 ?

Why take o8cture and not looking at canera. Well i guess its another great style

@magnagrafx 7 ай бұрын

Why in God's name would you have a ss of 1/4000 after sunset with iso of 2000. No need for that fast of a ss, slow it down a bit and get rid of that high iso.

@karlarivas3150 6 ай бұрын

She likes to shoot with a super wide aperture and and also says that a fast shutter helps keep her subjects all in focus. I imagine she has to up her iso in order to balance it out. At least that’s what I got from her lecture.

@I922sParkCir 6 ай бұрын

Because why not? ISO 600 and a shutter speed of 1/1000 at sunset would look the same on modern mirrorless full frame cameras. With the low contrast of sunset, I wouldn’t notice the higher ISO at all. The photo looks great, the settings don’t matter.
