In a tight space that kit is going to be problematic.

thank you

looks like hanry cavil

wow! thanx bro

Bro made photography sound like Quantum Physics 😶‍🌫️

35-150f2-2.8 tamron for me only 1 len but I keep 85 f1.4 for special shot and low light

Brilliant video thank you

Amazing

I think AI companies are learning your photography tricks. Their getting closer and closer to the looks of your edits lol

Oh no! There's more to it than just buying zeiss lenses? Who would have thought? (Was a really cool summary and a good refresh on all those techniques, thank you!)

на системе fujifilm мои два любимых объектива это viltrox 27mm 1.2 & 75mm 1.2 изображение превосходное оба великолепны иногда для разнообразия использую viltrox 13mm 1.4 так же он основной для видеосъёмки

I have learnt so much from your editing videos. Thank you so very much.

Hi, thanks for the theory. However, personal opinion here, most of the shown portraits are horribly overcooked! Even a few known photographers there. If that’s where it is going to and with AI being there, it’s taking a wrong direction!

35 / 85, or 35 / 55 / 85

woww!! amazing teaching skills! checking out your course right now!

Very good information. Adding cooler tones in the shadows and warmer tones in the mid/high works very well. Acording to me you have overseen 1 element for 3D pop/dimensionality, and that is the use of a lens that is not overly corrected, like in Zeiss lenses and other low element count lenses for example.

That's a piece of wonderful information...Thank you so much for sharing...love it🥰

Great video with solid techniques for someone new to research and implement into their photography. I just wish we’d quit calling things like this secrets. They are not secrets, they are techniques.

Thanks... helpful.

just wondering if you have licensed everything that you used?

Wow that's amazing 😍🤩

Great video - a wealth of knowledge.

Excellent but secret no 11 is "Use beautiful Models"

Excellent basic photo technique illusation for all photographers 👍

I've been a commercial photographer for 45 years and this is the best illustration of these principles I've seen. I have a BFA so have been lucky to draw on the work of the painters and old masters to help with my photography. It is a shame that Justin only has 1,000 views in 5 mos. The models are all painfully beautiful.

Anyone who can suggest...is it good lens to shoot hiking videos as i have CANON D700.. ....????Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di ii LD Aspherical (IF) Macro- Nikon fit....

Good but this way of working is very destructive for collaborations in the advertising industry.

I would recommend a 24mm instead of the 85mm prime as second lense, when you planing videos as well. The 85 is a nice have but not an essential. 24mm is an essential because some shots need you to be much closer.

The best tute in photography!

Very clear although at 2:40 you invert the main image showing the model in black and the background in white. You click something for it to appear in the main image. What you click I don't know as I cannot fathom how you did it. I can click Alt I and that inverts the tab but how do you get the image to appear in just black and white. Very much appreciated. Steven

I am glad to found your Video, all your model are super beaitiful, any expiry date on your video course because my memory was not that good, need repeat watching to capture your theory in mind.

If you can write/produce a photography book, i will definately buy it.

Thank you Justin. It is great to refresh on the compositional techniques. As far as using the editing tools I have been dealing with the halo effect between subject mask and background mask. I have learned some ways to fix this problem but once you know, you know. I now pixel peep looking for halo.

Sharpness is NOT THE SAME as 3D Pop, you're saying that over and over again! Also low aperture is not the same as 3D Pop. 3D pop comes from micro contrast, aka Inter Tonal Detail, from low element count lenses. Most fully corrected high element count lenses do have far lower to none micro contrast compared to low element count lenses. You are confusing one thing with the other!

JL, the best photographer & editor ever .. thank you a million for your excellent tips..

Great video, straight to the point and full of information.

🔥

Fantastic!! I’m going to have to watch this several times. It’s packed with useful information.

Luminar Neo Tutorials 🎉!!!!!

This video should be packed into every new camera box. It is amazing how much money it spend on upgrading constantly when new whiz-bang advanced cameras do not produce better images when the real improvements come from using the basics more intentionally. The difference between a beginner and one who makes deliberately compelling images is not the camera. Investing in a workshop or an art appreciation class will make difference than anything a camera can contribute. A photographer who does not visit good art museums regularly is missing most of the answers that have already been discovered 500 years ago I grew up in capital city of California and my father has a few old cameras, one large one was made in the late 1800s. We only had one art gallery but the most exciting 3 day of the year were 2 days driving to San Francisco to buy school clothes and to stop me from constantly begging to go to museums and San Francisco had 6 or 7. The other day that was a highlight of the year was the 1 day a year I dad would drive me to the local air-force base that has a main electronics surplus salvage facility to sell it off as scrape, and my savings of a 5 year old was was not much but much of it sold very cheap instead of for scrape. I as crazy over electronics and shortwave radio that later, when combined with photography where we developed roll, sheet and wet plates in a add-on to the garage. The combination of passion for electronics and photography took me to 92 countries and all the great art collections in public collections and some hidden away from the Public. I have a real photo studio now and live in a city with spectacular beauty and 475 museums and many great galleries that has the most advanced art restoration and research labs and where damaged art from around the world is sent to be restored. Seeing the originals instead photos in art books. Art is not experienced as the artist intended, especially if the gallery is filled with tourists. Art lovers often have to wait until fall when the tourists have gone to their home country because every painting has a viewing distance the artist intended and his unspoken intended viewing distance is revealed in his selection of frame size. It make most use of his intended viewing distance being the distance you need to be at to be able to absorb then entire image without scanning side to side. In the tourist season larger painting are swamped by people getting very close to see the name. A more common every day version of the creator expectinga viewing distance that allows the full content to be perceived at once when looking at a billboard. It looks sharp, clear and absorbed instantly when seen at 100 feet but incomprehensible viewed at 10 feet. So move back for large paintings, his intent is found further away.

Very helpful Justin - thanks a ton! My favorites in order are POSES for DEPTH; FORE * BACKGROUND CONTRAST and finally, meticulous editing in Lightroom. Guess I should check out your course... I have some time set aside around later August.

We need regular video mentor 😢❤

You said at 4:32 ull link the video, nothing is linked

Its so tough to keep up with you, all shortcut commands you have arent there for me, had to look up for them and got lost

wtf is shift plus command plus option plus e, nothing happened this aint for me ngl

thanks for this clear video. if am not very tech savy so sorry for this basic question. we can increase px even though instagram says 1080? once you go thru the window you tell us about, how to you get it to instagram? thanks Nina

Thanks for this portrait photography video! You took us back to basics, and it was appreciated...

If I was to go with only two lenses for Sony E-mount... Carl Zeiss Loxia t* 2.8/21 Tamron 2-2.8/35-150 Di III VXD

This was great (for my vertical images)! But what image size should I use for horizontal images?!
