Hahaha !

HAAHAHHAHAHAHAH I CAN RELATE TO THE ANY INFINITY LEVEL

Diminish12 whats ur gear on sale?

Link me to ur gear

Lmao

this is the age of social media.

hipster filter packs versus real skills.

why would you get annoyed tho bc it’s a complement? i get that your worked for it but that question just goes to show that you did good

To think I used to be that guy.. That was before I knew Lightroom even existed

so true

SAME!

Me too lol I only have taken pictures with my best friend and she lives three hours away so I get to only see her a few times a year and my pictures is full of just her and my dogs. I wanna try and make that step of finding more people but I’m trying to make money for a camera other than my phone like I wanna learn more about the settings in the camera and using one before I start asking people.

Ikr

My only model is my sister .-.

Start taking photos of things or of yourself. If you use a Canon camera, there's a software called "Canon Utility" and it gives you the ability to control the camera with your phone and see what's on the viewfinder on your computer screen. Try it out

Yes! Sometimes I will be in the middle of the shoot and look at my screen and think, "these photos aren't that great..." but then I get home and see them on my computer and wish I had taken more because I actually like how they turned out. I guess you have to overcome that bit of insecurity when looking at the raw in the back of your camera and just be confident in what you do

@@JessicaKobeissi that just happened to me the other day! And then you regret not havinhg tried different poses and angles and taken a bit more time. Hahaha. Thanks a lot for your response, it's so cool that you replied. You're doing a great job, I've learnt a ton from your videos. 😊😊

I think shooting in direct sunlight became my pet peeve because people who would shoot pictures for me (i.e. my parents) didn’t have a thought process behind shooting in that time of day. But maybe I’ll try giving it a chance!

Instagram crop is the worst 😩 I've kind of had to learn to shoot with both regular crop for future prints, and instagram crop in mind.

I had to crop when picture cause the soft box was peaking from the side so I had to crop the finger 😭😭😭

@@Gabesuazophotography you can work around that by putting black or white bars on your photo to make the ratio accepted by instagram, it's really frustrating to crop a picture when you had a certain frame in mind

An even bigger problem than that is when people take ‘rules’ to heart and all their photography looks stale

I honestly think it's subjective. That type of crop is just a rule that we're "supposed" to use. But to be honest. If planned and executed propperly it can be an interesting element in your photos.

She said: Don't DEPEND ON Filters. It's different.

😂😂😂😂😂

Like she said, if you want a unique style- learn how to photoshop!

@@MissMusicBaby3I personally like light editing on lightroom. Photoshop becomes too fake for my taste.

GuyFox you can make the same adjustments in photoshop that you can make in light room. However, Photoshop is more meticulous in that you can adjust layer by layer & with masks or other things. How far editing goes is left to YOU, the editor. You can also go too far in Lightroom.

Yes I definitely can! Will add to my tutorial list, thanks so much for the request :)

great idea i never know where to store my photos as a beginner

i support this!!!!

Jessica Kobeissi YES! Where do you save originals? What if you use multiple softwares and apps to edit one photo, do you save every single version? I have such a messy Camera Roll on my phone just filled with like 5 or 6 versions of the same photo thousands of times spread across both my iPhone and my Macbook (I currently have 23,000 photos on my phone lol). I really would love some advice on how to become minimalist with my photo storage, while retaining files I need! Do you use Dropbox/Google Drive/One Note? Do these retain image quality? Please do a vid! xx

I have been wondering about this too! I just started using lightroom and I have not idea how to organize my photos on the computer before putting into lightroom without importing ALL the photos or making duplicates of the photos I'm using. If you have found anything on this subject, I'd love to hear about it!

Gear is important, but I think a lot of people forget that it's more important to know how to use the tools you have. You don't need 4k and an expensive Canon lens to be good. You need to know the language of Photography/Videography. You can get away with a lot of things in post now, especially with stylistic choices. Being resourceful is very important.

Damn this is me 😅😅

@@sbzote This was me half a year ago as well :D

Well said 🙌🏽

I have got. the canon eos 400 d and i still use ist because i want to learn before i get a new Camera but i will probably get a new one during college because it is already a really old camera and the quality of the pictures isn‘t that Great in comparison to the camera my mother got sooo yeah

Shoot on a different planet, don't depend on planet earth for your photos alone. Mars has a beautiful night sky, too! lmao

@@Jindujun 💯💯💯✋🏾

Totally agree! It is crazy for how long I wasn't sure how my feed should look and was comparing it to everyone elses. One minute I was like "it should be brownish beause this person has it" and another minute I was like "no, it shoulda ctually be cold blue because everyone says blue color attracts more audience". And then I realised I am non of these filters so I am now discovering and actually discovered my own style and finally feel relaxed about it!

Another thing with filters / presets is that they all do a certain thing. None of them fit everything. You need to know when to use what and how to adapt them and that comes with experience, playing around with all the tools available to you, and learning how they work, and what they do. I have an ever expanding set of my own presets, some of which subtly tweak just a certain aspect of the image and some of which create complete looks. Most of the time I start with one or several of these to push me in the right direction for how I feel the image going, but I'll end up tweaking them here and there and sometimes just completely rebuilding them.

Filters , style of editing hmm ? What happened to learning how to use your camera ?

Allen A even with a great lens sometimes there’s that one thing you want to “tweak” in a photo in editing that can really make a photo look better. If the photo looks great without editing.. perfect! Other than that, sometimes editing is needed if there’s something in the shot that you don’t like.

@@candy2325 Editing is needed in like 95% of cases (especially when you shoot to raw), but take a picture properly should be more important than editing skills, because make a good picture from low quality photo is very hard or even impossible, but edit good picture can be very fast, you just do some cropping, move with white balance, slightly adjust exposure and it's done, but when you have bad picture, you can spend hours on trying to do something with that. For me, the worst problem is use correct exposure measurement method or select what part of picture will be too dark or too white in case of light complicated scene, I am mostly using bracketing in such situations and just select better picture later, but when you have to do this, you already know that there won't be any good picture. 😀 Also, I started carry light, sometimes even small light source (like flashlight in your phone) can make a great difference in low light scene where something near to you is in shadow. Definitely better use flashlight and have easier editing later, people should more think about that.

That's what I was thinking but didn't know how to say it! Thank you! But I felt most of the people selling presets never said you need to edit downloaded preset to suit your photo so because I am beginner it never actually crossed my mind, even though it is really logical that you need to do it.

Some people like to start off from presets to get a pleasant look and work from it to suit the specific photo :)

There is no right or wrong way to hold the camera or take the photo, as long as you get the shot that is all that matters! It's important to always go out of your comfort zone and try new things, especially as an artist! Thanks so much for watching

Same here, I expected the same things all those beginner mistakes videos cover but I was pleasantly surprised! Nodding and learning all throughout the video hag

hah*

Two set fan here

@@giovannacecotto535 😂😂😂😂

ling ling

Ling linggg

Ling ling can do everything

A good point. I need to look into that!

the issue with this is every device is calibrated differently too. So no matter how accurate your colors may be on your calibrated monitor itll still look different on grandmas laptop

A little difficult to do on a budget

Yup, edited a picture, loved it, then realized I did it at night and had my night shift ‘blue filter’ on the whole time

How to fix this? I'm experiencing the same. My Lightroom and Instagram display the different colors.

Klance is my life oops I co-sign that request!!

There was this live chat where - as far as I remember - she talked about something being planed was cancelled and she had no other plans for that time. The live chat users convinced her to get her photos taken by a professional photographer (friend?) and she agreed. I'm waiting for that video! :D

Her Instagram actually has a shot or two of her being the model

Phillip Alcorn we need a video though

I bet she really wanted to be called sis and to know that shes just "cute" wtf? rofl...

Agreed. I have a rebel t5i that I can get amazing shots on. I know someone who said the t5i is trash and went out and bought a Canon EOS 5D mark III and her pictures don't look nearly as good as mine. It's how you yeild your weapon, not the weapon itself.

The thing I find most annoying about apc cameras compared to full frame cameras is how much more noise they often have. I have the D7200 and it has noticeable noise at only 1000 ISO, while a Full Frame can often go quite a bit higher before any noticeable noise is in the picture. And its difficult to avoid noise shooting in low light where I have to have at least a 1/60 shutter speed so the image doesn't blur (Prime's usually don't have VR/IS), often resulting in high ISOs. Otherwise I love my camera.

agentmikster44 ISO 1000 on the D7200 is definitely manageable lmao that camera has usable noise up to 1600-3200 for sure. You just want 100% grainless shots for some reason, which is a different issue. And try going below 1/60 on wide to normal (FF eq) lenses, you might be surprised

@@alvareo92 Yeah, with Lightroom pretty high levels of noise can be fixed. One of my images with over 50,000 ISO was still ok after fixing it up with Lightroom, although it looks more like a watercolour painting now, lol

Erkel true Even iPhone cams can do great work lol

I think that presets are fine on the business end of things but when you're trying to be creative or solely create for yourself, presets aren't a necessity and can be viewed as a mistake.

I think it’s a huge debate as a whole in the community. I also think knowing and understanding how a preset works, and how to customize it to work for you is important. Not knowing how a preset alters the photo isn’t helpful. I think the mistake is when one doesn’t understand how a preset has split toned, S-Curved, and changed hues/saturation’s. All those components need to be understood to successfully create or use a preset. Ya know?

This!!!!

Yes. You can even make your own LUTs easily. If you want to have your own creative style to your photos or video you can set up your own LUT for that purpose rather than using someone else's preset.

If the preset was created by you, then ok. But if you're just dropping in someone else's and letting that be, you're not doing the full work. I also understand using someone else's preset as a BASE to work off of but just don't halfass the process.

I think that's becausd most of beginner photographers have kit lenses that came with their camera, and don't have the budget for a new lens. Although with little saving, I think you can often get a used lens that works just fine for a lot less money

I bought a prime lens when I bought my first camera, and so far have only added prime lenses. I definitely like the results better, and a small selection has caused me to use each lens for more than I think I would if I had a huge selection of lenses :)

I tend to use 3 prime lenses when I shoot and each serve a different purpose, bug people would be surprised how much of a difference it can make to use a $120 prime lens instead of the kit.

@@mademoisellesachaaa that was definitely smart. But also many (or most?) of us when we started out didn't have any knowledge why a prime lens is better than a zoom kit lens. I didn't even know what a kit lens was, but only that there are zoom and prime lenses (and ofcourse it seemed that any zoom lens is better than a prime lens because you have 'more options' 😂). To make a smart choice when buying your first camera you have to have a bit of knowledge first. Or hope that the seller in the store will be a good one (mine wasn't, he just wanted to sell stuff 😂)

Thankfully so many people have access to the internet now and can do a little research, and the price of many entry line prime lenses is attractive to a new photographer on a tight budget :)

you should look into photoshop, its super powerful and depending on the images you take could take your work to the next level. You can also create a lot of photoshop actions which can be similar to lightroom presets saving you time.

Leah's Vlogs omggggggggggg A DREAM

For real Peter Mckinon is a great one as well

For real!! Pleasseee

Nah, Sean Tucker!

That would be more of a lesson rather than a collab. That man is a Pro.

I know that feeling completely. I think of it now as I'm shooting for me, if other people like it cool, if they don't, I do and that's all that matters for now. 🤔

Take the pics, put them on IG. Advertise them and see what happens lol.

Hey! I'm 13. I am very into photography, my Insta is @wildpaws.explorers. What's yours?

Do some test shoots with friends, build up the confidence if you feel youre rushing. If im trying something new i tell the models and let them know that I will be taking my time and it may take a little longer than usual. Just be honest with them :)

Kylee Alanna Marx I don't have insta😂😢 but I'll take a look at yours...which camera do u use?

Ace Noguera thaks a lot I actually had a trial shooting with my cousin today

I am 14 too ! I have had a camera in my hand since I was in 4th grade. photography is great :)

ooo this is a good idea! I may do this on my channel haha

Ace Noguera haha i’ll watch it for sure!!

Agreed with this. Especially if you are doing HUGE photoshoots and don't want to spend hours hand editing one photo. You can also customize your own presets and make your own and adjust it with each and every photo

lmao ikr

I CACKLED BAHAH

I was gonna comment the exact same thing 😂

YES. All of his pictures are the same

good luck!

congrats on the new camera! I remember when i first bought mine years ago. Such a great feeling. Never thought it wouldve gotten me so far in life

AbelXO Brandon (I’m assuming you mean Brandon Woelfel) obviously has an immense amount of talent when it comes to photography and has learned a lot throughout the years. I don’t understand your comment because she talked about finding your style as well, and the photographers you listed have their own style and ways of taking their photos to fit what they like. They’ve gotten to the point where their talent is good enough that they don’t need to experiment as much as beginners. Yes, no matter how much talent you have, you can keep growing and become better, which is the amazing thing about photography. Though there is no need to criticize any photographer that has a style that they stick with or models or colors, if they have the talent, than there is no reason to judge them.

Yeah I got a technique for that, DON'T.

I would definitely make sure you have lightroom and snapseed on your phone for editing. I use both personally. The only thing about phone photography is that obviously the quality wont match up to a photo captured by a dslr. But if you have photoshop or a laptop, i would definitely edit your photo on there instead of on your phone because your phone actually downgrades qualities of photos when editing.

@@trevorarmstrong6641 That is the solution of almost everything

Rashika Raj I have been into photography for nearly 2 years and use pro mode on my Samsung S7 if I am in a rare position where I have not got my canon 1300D on me. I would urge for a DSLR if you can but Pro Mode works ok on a Samsumg S7. Not sure if all Android phones have this but worth seeing if you can. I hope this helps you?

At least buy an iPhone!

then I hope you actually portray the genocide that is being commited by israel's army

Lia sweety, for one this is so not true.. And second, can u not bring in all that in here. Go fight about it with people on different platforms. Not on this KZfaq video. Get out lol

Ariel Mizrachi omg I was gonna do that when I turn 18

Hey man do you have time to like tell me how can I get in and do photography

@@AriShroom 30 March 2018 - 2 August 2018 Palestinian deaths: 164 (including 26 kids) Israeli deaths: 1 Palestinian injuries: 17 259 Israeli injuries: 9 "Israeli restrictions on the delivery of construction materials to Gaza and a lack of funding have impeded reconstruction of the 17,800 housing units severely damaged or destroyed during Israel’s 2014 military operation in Gaza. About 29,000 people who lost their homes remain displaced." "In the West Bank, as of November 6, Israeli security forces fatally shot 42 Palestinians and wounded at least 3,279, including passersby, demonstrators, and those suspected of attacking Israelis. In many cases, video footage and witness accounts strongly suggest that forces used excessive force. In this same period, attacks by settlers killed three Palestinians, injured 49, and damaged property in 106 incidents, according to OCHA." "Of the 381 Palestinian homes and other property demolished in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) in 2017 as of November 6, displacing 588 people, Israeli authorities sought to justify most for failure to have a building permit. Israel also destroyed the homes of families in retaliation for attacks on Israelis allegedly carried out by a family member, a violation of the international humanitarian law prohibition on collective punishment." "Israel continued construction of the separation barrier, 85 percent of which falls within the West Bank rather than along the Green Line separating Israeli from Palestinian territory, cutting off Palestinians from their agricultural lands and isolating 11,000 Palestinians on the western side of the barrier" "Israeli security forces arrested Palestinian children suspected of criminal offenses, usually stone-throwing, often using unnecessary force, questioned them without a family member present, and made them sign confessions in Hebrew, which most did not understand. The Israeli military detained Palestinian children separately from adults during remand hearings and military court trials, but often detained children with adults immediately after arrest. As of June 30, Israeli authorities held 315 Palestinian children in military detention. As of October 2017, Israel held 453 Palestinian administrative detainees without charge or trial, based on secret evidence, many for prolonged periods. Israel jails many Palestinian detainees and prisoners inside Israel, violating international humanitarian law requiring that they not be transferred outside the occupied territory and restricting the ability of family members to visit them." i'll get out when the occupiers get out of palestinian land lol

yea dont buy into it! Being a professional photographer is about creating your own style and incorporating your perspective into it. Draw inspiration from others but use it to develop your own style.
