I agree ... this is hard work! People just don't understand how much it takes out of you to direct these many people and shoot for 90 minutes straight ... I think these are really good photos straight out of the camera ... and good tips on how to save time shooting so many people

+asrotties wide angle lens f8/11

1. Michele adds soft focus for some of her portraits in post. She didn't get them out of focus in camera, that was added later.

Photoshop or lightroom can do that. I think it's called Vignette . Or by Oval and dial it backwards for the blackish color. The other side would be white. Whatever you prefer . I also believe that it could be the lens . (Sigma) does that . But you can edit just to bring the focus point to your subject . She's saying that its straight out of camera which I hardly believe !

That isn't an issue. There are certain body parts that are fine to cut off. Others not so much. Taking off a bit of the shoulders isn't bad, it's cutting off joints, like fingers and hands that can be troublesome.

Tracey Melbourn so controlling natural light now are we?

Kathleen L.A of course you idiot l

Tracey Melbourn A reflector is not "controlling light" it's reflecting and diffusing, simple as that, and I would bet money that your works sucks considering you don't understand the importance of light or light in your background etc, direct sun etc. A reflector or diffuser isn't going to miraculously give you beautiful light, we location scout for a reason and this is every photographer ever. Let's see your work, people like you talk so much shit but your work typically tends to suck.

It's absolutely controlling the light. YOU are determine where and how intensely it's goes hence controlling and shaping it get a clue

And my work is award winning and far from sucks.

Adrian Pocea n

Michele Celentano is one of the best portrait pros in the business. I'd like to see you do better.

Let's see your work?

Adrian Pocea excuuuuuse me!? These photographs r fantastic, this what the client wants and always wil want when asking for familyportraits. I wish that I was that good with light. Love to see pictures u take

doesn't really matter how amazing you are...if your working regularily, you're doing something right. But I wouldn't pay money for this type of seminar.

+krzeselko Is that just what you do for kicks? Is your 'best work' wandering the internet spouting unwelcome diatribe to make yourself feel better about whatever makes you such an unpleasant person? The author went to a lot of effort to share some of her experience. For free. For your benefit. So here's an idea: if you don't like what she has to offer, move on and don't be a jerk.

+Jason L Hey, I see shite, I feel compelled to point it out ... that's what forums are for. Someone pointed out my crap some time ago and it done me good. Sorry to insert 'negative energy' to your magical little pc world, where families walk dressed all white on a beach while Kenny G is playing in the background and everyone is talented, tolerant, special and full of cheese.

+krzeselko That's only what you think forums are for: to spew vitriol in an impotent effort to make yourself feel important. The internet is full of people like you - spewing 'negative energy' and unsolicited criticism because you're incapable of anything constructive or insightful. And you hate that others - like this video's author - can do what you can't. So, like you, when I see 'shite' I'm also compelled to point it out. The big difference is that for reasons nobody cares about, you troll the internet foisting petty criticisms at random targets that don't meet your standards. I, in turn, just move on when content doesn't inspire me, but will absolutely stop to hold a mirror up to the trolls who've made news and content sharing forums such a toxic wasteland, and ask if you like what you see. Because nobody else does. So, like others before me, according to your claims, I'm pointing out your crap. I strongly suspect you won't think it 'done you good', but perhaps you'll be moved to spend the time invested in pointless comments in finding content that actually inspires you.

+Jason L Forums are for opinions and comments, both positive and negative. Where does it say we can only express positive ones? Maybe in your little libtard world.... When I see something I like, I also point it out so your argument is invalid. Stop projecting your neurotic crap on me. I believe what I said was constructive and insightful because I provided reasons why I think it was shite. Just because you're a buthurt little fairy, unable to process that and taking this whole thing personally doesn't make it otherwise.

+krzeselko Your impetuous rant is exactly what I'd expect from a forum troll. I hope that's not your best work.
