Thanks. Having fun is half the journey.

Appreciated the advice on hard light! A lot of my favorite work is from people who play with that aesthetic a bit. For example, I've been looking at a lot of Peter Lindbergh's work where he uses harsh shadow across a face to create shape and drama

Loved that you mention the goodness of hard light, not enough photographers talking about how important it can be for a shoot - such a great light to shoot in at times. ( Also back on the X-PRO2 for a shoot 📸 ❤️ ).

Love both of the styles of video. I’m a beginner photographer and these have sped up the learning curve tremendously. Thank you!

Love the shots with her face lit by the sun

Awesome BTS video on how to use highlights creatively. Thanks Nathan for sharing such lovely information. Love from India 🇮🇳

the fujinon kit lens 18-55mm is ridiculous soo goood!

I'm learning so much through these BTS on how to see the light as well as light placement! Thank you for the effort, very much appreciated!!!

These kind of videos are 🔥. For selfish reasons, I would say natural light BTS more. 😂 Thank you as always. You’re an amazing educator.

I love all your videos. Just keep making them and I'll keep watching. Thanks.

Always a fan of your work. In this video you spent more time on the process, which I like personally. It’s your channel and normally what you put up is fantastic 👌🏾, so just do what you do Nathan. Thank you

I'm loving both series and keep them coming.

This was a really great episode, love your commentary on the framing, and model directions.

great Video again Nathan! Your right, if you can master hard light, you can shoot in any available lighting situation

Great video. Great inspiration. Great pictures. Nathan, you got me.

Really love your videos. Thanx

This was a great video. I love the "how I got the shot" series, but others like this show a different part of the process, which I got a lot out of.

Cool Nathan! I like so much that captures and the model's look and style. The slow movement tip is very useful too. I never though about the concept but I do it always. On the other hand, I love Fujis. In the last years I've been using X100s, XT1, XT2 and now XT3. The quality, size and weight of these cameras encourage me to take more photos everywhere and all the time. Thanks and cheers from Buenos Aires!

I like the content. Well explained. Videos not too long, kept us engaged. Cheers

Amazing shoots

Bro thank you for sharing. Natural hard light is my favorite way to shoot

This was quite an interesting BTS with your analysis of the scene, the light and your reaction and use of it. Your modeling tips were thought provoking as well (I am going to try that slow-down thing). So while I appreciated your earlier "how I got the shot" ones I thought they were getting a little repetitive and this is fresh and cool. Enjoying your videos, Nathan. Cheers!

Great educational video as always. The tips to slow down movements and exposing for highlights was spot in. Thanks Nathan!

this was great..loved the shots (y) (y)

Nice one thanks. I like a nice mix of videos tbh, it's fun to switch things up, keeps it all fresh 😊

Great video - loved the advice on slowing down. Also the hard light tips were great - I tend to avoid it, so it's helpful.

The best intro ever

What amazing phootos. Congratulations. I would like see more videos like this. Thank you for all your knowledge

A lot of information packed in one. Love it. Can you please make one video how do you expose the overlight areas? what are the things you takes care on that. Thanks again.

Bravo!

The black and white photos were dope, yo!

Great info. Cool video. Keep it up man.

Bravo 🙌

That was EPIC my friend 🤣

Awesome stuff, beautiful images, and some great key take aways

I’m surprised to know the X-Pro2 is your favorite camera! I’m also surprised to see the shots you took with it! This is the camera I use and the only thing I don’t like about it is the battery life. :-) Great video, amazing shots! 😃👏🏽 I like this format btw. 👍🏽👌🏽

REALLY LIKED THE VIDEO......!!

Great video. I still shoot with my D800's in the studio and use a D610 out in the field. My "walking around" is an XT-2. Recently faced with upgrading those 800's, I decided the latest and greatest features of one of the newer Nikon's wasn't going to make that much of a difference. I mean, under controlled lighting conditions the increase in quality over the 800 is marginal, so I decided to get into medium format. Pentax 645Z. What a difference is all I have to say. The dynamic range and tonality is incredible with the larger, even if it is older, sensor.

Great video!

Love the feel and look of the X-Pro, but I just can not work, without a tilt screen.

Another excellent video, with brilliant content - Thanks

Check out the GFX... any of them, but ergonomically and coming from the x pro, especially the GFX 50R... mind bending images!

Motivated movement, whether it's the subject or the camera itself, is very important for giving the photo credibility. Doing something, thinking about someone behind the lens, a childhood memory, a want or desire you have - all of this helps us engage with the final image. Otherwise it's just a girl with her dead-fish hands drooping onto her slack-featured face 😅 Excellent work all around on this shoot. 👏👏

Great video man! This is a great style of videos to add to your mix. And as always awesome shots 👌🏻

I love your Black and white "retouching" (preset).

Another great video, thanks Nathan.

Liking your work Bjorn Lothbrok!

Loving this Nathan, thank you.

Appreciate the tips and reminders.

Loving this style of vid Nathan, super helpful! Awesome channel...keep it up 🙌

Excellent production values and content. I prefer the location videos over the studio/retouching. Location content is more alive, the look is different, and the structure is focused more on artistic approach, composition, and planning for the final images. You hit a good balance between gear fanaticism and image creation. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

Always great content- thanks man!

thank you my friend, this was a great video. it was very insightful and i did learn a few things. there is definitely a lot to learn here. thanks again, i appreciate your work very much.

Makes me miss my fuji gear a little bit. Killing the video content man love it!

🔥🤩masterclass! I still have my xpro1 with my xt3😁 You and the model killed it

great video … and btw they are ALL interesting whatever you go thru

Both are great..........

I have seen this video, over and over again.... so awesome content and beautiful model. Can you make one video showing how you do the color grade this shoots ? I know that you have the presets on your website for selling, but love to know your approach to building it and adapt to each shoot. thanks

totally helpful. Thanks!

Just found this channel - thank you for amazing content!

Thanks for this beautiful video, I learned a lot. Can you give the model of the camera again please?

Hi Nathan, your videos make portrait photography feel much less intimidating. Would you consider a video for beginners on how to keep a shoot interesting with a model? By this I mean how to get ideas for poses, themes, props and just a general good fun vibe. Thanks Wes

Please your opinion on adapting vintage lens in fujifilm camera.

hello Sir, it's very helpful to me to improve my vision to shoot. Sir I have NIKON D7200 with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 and 50mm f/1.8 lenses and I am, basically, a wedding photographer in India. And I have one 90 cm godox reflective octa and a godox 860 ii flash with trigger. I want to know, how I use this octa in Indoor and outdoor shoot ?

Absolutely superb Nathan, love this type of video. So many great tips and considerations, thank you so much! One more thing I would like to request is the editing considerations when post processing the natural light portraits in BnW please? #Londonlovesyou

I just picked up an Xpro2 and love using my 35mm F1.4 with it. I agree 100% that it is one of the sexist cameras ever made.

Thanks bro :)

my daughter is addicted to my rolling stools in my studio

Great content as usual. Just a minor suggestion, the background music when you show the photos are a hair louder than necessary. I often have to lower the volume during that part and crank up your piece-to-camera.

Congratulations, I follow you from SICILY Italy;) I would be interested to see the xpro2 in the studio with the Flash .... if it is possible, thanks greetings

What made you choose the f2 over the 1.4. Torn between the two myself.

Great video Nathan, thank you! I always comment if I get at least one tip...guess for which one I commented? :D

Simple awesome content! Thanks for sharing! I love this kind of videos! Would love to see the retouch process on the first image at 5:49s What brand/model strap are you using?

6:52 That's so f'ing satisfying, damn. I love to do this too but I'm leagues behind you

BTS if I had a choice. How I Got the Shot is good too, if that's where you come down.

Still rockin my d800 🔥 but eye focus and focusing is my main need.. what fuji cam will you reco to me? Ive got all my primes in d800 plan to sell it to make a jump thanks

Chairs with four wheels only are legelly forbitten in Europe for many years since they are prone to trip over. Obviously the US are not that throughtful.

👍🎥🌍🚀

10:52 this is the Angle! which lens you use ?

A Job or just for fun?

Gawd, how much are they paying?
