Hey! Would you possibly shoot with a plus sized model? I'd love to see how you capture their beauty (:

As a professional photographer who just had a photo printed in the New York Times, I bow down to your expertise and experience and learn something every video of yours! There’s so much sunlight all the time Where I live in Florida so I love this video thank you

I always avoid shooting in direct sunlight, but maybe I should just give it a go after watching this video. Thanks!🥰

thank you thank you! im a new photographer and most of my clients as of now are african american sooo with our skin tones people love shooting directly in the sunlight and so its something i've been working on to perfect, your advise was great and will apply it to my next shoot (which is tomorrow) take care stay safe!

I’ve started watching you 2 years ago. Now I have my own photography/videography company. Thank you for inspiring me and for sharing your knowledge with us.

Glad to see a video about light ✨ All the photos on the video are just amazing, specially the first two 🤗

I shoot photos for work, and our shoots are with real employees based on their schedule (which means, rarely during golden hour and usually during the hottest time of the day) so this was actually super helpful! Thank you for the advice Jess

Awesome tips

Omg i needed this

When you’re not a photographer but you love Jessica so you HAVE to click on her videos ❤️

She's the greatest 🥰

I love your videos so much

“How low can you go? Your ISO!” 😂😂😂

Great video! I enjoyed filming my taking my own IG pic video and I wish I had this info for that those pics. I had to scrap too many😔

These are some great tips I will definitely watch my Peter Pan to my shadows !

Damn girl your look is POPPIN in this video!!

so helpful💖💖

This is so interesting as a film photographer. I would say to overexpose to preserve the details if using film. Listening to you as a digital photographer is so refreshing from a different perspective ❤️

Yes watch your shadows!!

ugh the tones in this video set up r soooo nice

Your are really a fabulous photographer ❤️ Love from India❤️

I love your shirt! 😆

Hey can you show what a diffuser looks like, the price, which one you use from where and most importantly how to use it plss... Really love your work thanks ❤️

The first photo is AMAZING!!!!

Great vid

I needed this... mentally

i literally cant sleep without watch at least one of your videos

I freaking love this sweater you're wearing... where is it from?

Thank you for all your content! Can you please do a video about posing people with round faces? I have a pie shaped face and I’m not sure how to pose.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has moments of wishing I didn't have a shadow

Please can you make a video on affordable camera equipment to start with for a beginner who has no idea where to start and just wants to explore photography as a hobby. I love your channel and your personality, i am really inspired by your photography style to start photography. Please update us on your journey to star using film camera.

Hey Jessica, I love the grade on your portraits. Especially the one at 3:40. Is that one of your presets? I like how it’s super warm but the different colors have just the right amount of saturation.

My preference for shooting underexposed is to go for a faster shutter speed rather than closing down the aperture. the amount of background blur is an aesthetic consideration as well as an exposure one.

What about white balance settings, what would you recommend?

I actually really like shooting in direct sunlight, its a great way to challenge yourself!

After shooting strobe all the time it was refreshing to shoot natural again last week!

Hi Im a Fan from Philippines!

I’m always avoiding shooting in direct sunlight! I’m gonna go to the beach tomorrow to try it!

Can you make a video on mobile photography..... please

Hi Jessica, How are you? The link to the page says: sorry page not found. When i type i myself then you get to the right page.

Any tips on starting a KZfaq channel ? I’m currently trying to start one and have posted one video so far

thank you

Is that a BLONDE Azizi in the thumbnail??? Omg I’m in love 😍

Sun Position and Path is a great app on the iPhone. I don't know if it is on android. You can hold your phone up and see exactly where the sun will be based on the time and day in the year you choose.

Shot with a wide open aperture in direct sunlight and wondering why my colors were washed out and blurry. Thanks for this

Been here since the swimchick days Jessica 🙌

Finally, Jessica made a video of my biggest insecurity.

Can nd lenses be useful in those cases?

Thank youuu

You can take a shot-through umbrella with the strobe pointing at the sun and bounced as a reflector. The shot-through will shade the subject. You power the strobe to mimic the sun intensity, shadow and direction. Imagine it as a fill that has a relative size that is a huge sun. It works!

1:58 "Just think Peter Pan." Me: Okay, time to have a child army.

You look soooo good here 😍

Sooo early!!!
