This is beyond taking portrait pictures. This is the display of "teamwork" between the model and the photographer - and the work of a visual artist.

I actually don’t mind the very first shot at all. Harsh light can be cool and this is an example of not-terrible harsh light IMO :) I think it really is a matter of taste, and I like it. Other than that: great examples and explanations of what you’re looking for!

Although those I saw you shoot natural light... I tend to like to use a portable speedlite and a light-stand to my shoots. I also like to use soft-silver and hard-silver umbrellas, to give me a little kick on the model. Oh, and of course I'm wearing my ankle weights to use for weighing down my lights-stand, and I get a good work too... 😉😁👍

Great video! I realize it looks like a small gauge train track in a park-like setting but please remember to not shoot on real train tracks! They are surprisingly quiet until they are very close to you, and you most likely will be tresspassing on railroad property, as well.

@slrlounge 2 жыл бұрын

We 100% agree. As we mentioned in the video, the train was not running that day (and it is a kids train when it is running). We are very familiar with the park and made sure it wasn't on that day. We've actually written several articles on the SLR Lounge website that warns against photographing on train tracks. Thanks for reminding the audience.

Great video, well explained and easy to understand. Out of interest are you using spot metering for your exposure settings ?...I notice your in camera exposure is always slightly dark

@slrlounge 2 жыл бұрын

For this particular shoot, I am using center weighted metering, but I could easily have used spot as well. My main tool for metering is actually the histogram (in combination with the highight alert). The reason the "before" images are coming out a "dark" is because I am intentionally maximizing the dynamic range of the image. When shooting in RAW, this is my recommended way of exposing for your images. Here's a quick video tutorial on the topic: www.slrlounge.com/maximizing-dynamic-range-minute-photography/

Do you use autofocus to be able to shoot one handed when you have the reflector over your head like that? I always need two hands because I shoot with manual focus to make sure the camera selects the correct subject (I use a Canon EOS M50, 32mm prime lens, for context)
