Great tips, loved it.

I worked at Paramount studios 16 years then Fox studios 14 years. Gen z & later killed the entertainment industry, attacked star makers "oh he grabbed my behind" big whoop thick skin u needed, it was understood. U only had to give them hope, double pants plenty or hacks. I have been grabbed at wrap parties I would say "this ain't doing sh-t for me" they would giggle then stop, or I would repeat it until they stopped. Carry on

Great video Scott! Thanks! I have a bunch of really nice EF lenses. Would you recommend getting the adapter? Have you had any experience with the adapters? Thanks in advance!

Congrats! You're one of my big inspirations!

I am a headshot photographer, just picked up a Zf and I am enjoying it very much. I'm back to Nikon now. I'm saving for a second body and can't decide between the Z6ii or the Z5. For stills only, would you say that the Z5 would be comparable to the Z6? Or maybe even better?

Rf 100-300 2.8 is 10k USD 😮

I hate the waist up pictures, it's kind of sexist - for the women, your eyes go straight to the chest. If it's in an email signatjre or on the company website, it should just be tbe face in my opinion. Blegh.

The SMALLRIG L-Shape Plate allows you to extend the side bar to accommodate cables on left of camera. Thank you for an informative video.

I don't like crossed arms either. Not for the reasons you mentioned, but it looks so corny & generic. @scottlawrencephoto What are your thought about the hand on the chin pose, whether sitting or standing? For me, that pose when standing looks awkward. However, when sitting, it can work, I believe as long as you don't have crossed arms & the hand on the chin pose with your pointer finger up? Lol. Do you have any tutorials about what colors to avoid for professional shots? For me, I think I look good in white/cream, blue, & coral families of colors. I definitely wouldn't wear stripes. However, I tend to look good in a nice polka dot blouse as a contrast to a nice solid color suit. I know you should be modest with jewelry, however, most times I like chunky statement jewelry as a contrast &/or compliment to what I'm wearing. BTW, stay outta my business with the old heads hot. My first & only one was July 31, 2019 on my birthday. I found the lady on Groupon. She didn't help me fix my attire. I didn't like my shadow & arms crossed in most photos. I do have my headshot that she took on my LinkedIn page that turned out okay. I'm so ready for some new ones.

Great tips

You said some critical things to do but completely failed to mention how to do them! 1. Setting the EOS Utility app to record to both computer and sd card. 2. Stopping EOS Utility from autostarting when you connect camera. Think you needed way less talking and much more demonstrating.

Hell yes I would love to

Will you be upgrading?

What other questions do you have on posing for your headshot?

That didn’t help at all …

I was looking for headshots for bo6 but honestly solid advice

What do you think about Canon R8 and is there downsides vs. R6 for headshot photography?

“Predetermined” focus point in shooting sports?

Great tips!!

Thanks Scott! You just convinced me, I will get this lens! 👌👍🔝💯📸

I’ve photographed more weddings than headshots. At age 71 I plan to move into headshots/portraits and family sessions while backing away from weddings. I don’t have the excitement or desire for weddings anymore, but I still like the $$. If I get into portrait work I believe I can bring in enough $$ to please myself. I love playing with off camera strobe lighting, different softboxes, umbrellas, using different backdrops and experimenting with light ratios. 2025 will be a transition year for me. Hopefully headshot/portrait work will come my way.

Will you be upgrading to this lens?

Great starting point tips. Tks

Thanks for the tips! As an aspiring portrait photographer, this video was super helpful.

does this camera overheat while taking photos? Also I'm super new to cameras so do they use the same format as videos like 4k 60, 30 etc when shooting photos?

You Sir are a Lifesaver !!! Thanks a lot for this video

Hi Scott, a question which has puzzled me since moving from 1DX2 to R62 is tethered flash cables. I use the triggers mainly but miss having the back up when the trigger has an issue on a shoot to quickly plug in the flash cable. The R6 and mirrorless series from canon dont have the connection. Is there a work around like a USB C version cable especially for older studio flash units.

Great job, Scott!

Thanks! Super helpful

Very well explained with zero fluff. Easy sub

I used you method for rap video casting and they told me to kill myself

Thanks for this posing essentials video! You give us some great tips ,,keep up the great work!,

This is exactly what I needed to watch before my session. I will report back with the details.

Lord have mercy, yes! Undershirts ruin everything.

How do you compare with 70-200 RF/EF in your genre of photography? What is the percentage these two lenses occupy?

Many thanks for this portrait info! I have a portrait photo op scheduled for the weekend, and this video is right on time! Again, thanks

I love your advice to avoid trendy clothing and stick to the classics.

I wish I have this now when I'm visiting NYC from Sweden

Very lackluster video

When I shot Canon, I'd use 24-70/2.8, a 70-200/2.8 and later 24-105/4. The first two were heavy and the third less so. For a whole day wedding shoot, for example, I can imagine this new lens would be very useful for a range of shots; especially dark interiors without flash. Looks interesting if a little pricey.

I have a hard time understanding the value of this lens in a studio setting, primes typically do a much better job, are lighter, brighter,...

I've heard wedding photographers are all over this lens. Also, sports like basketball & wrestling. So not useless for stills. (if that's what you meant?) And at $3000 isn't it one of Canon's high end lenses?

Thank you for this. In the next few weeks when you are testing this lens, would you see how it does in low light and night environments (for photos and videos). Thank you. Look forward to the results.

great video

why cant they make it lightweight

I just bought it as I like the speed, better image quality and best of all is the tripod collar. I mostly use Panasonic GH's for video, but recently been using my R5 and R6 mk II more, but mounting the R5 to a tripod plate and using the 28-70 f/2, just seems like a lot of stress on the mount...so this lens really answered that problem for me. Also not crazy about hanging my 85 f/1.2 DS, but it is a bit lighter than the 28-70. I'm sure I'm worried for nothing but I do shoot a fair amount in low light and ALWAYS wish the 28-70 were a bit wider and a bit longer when in use. So going through a bit of redefining my lens use case parameters!

What do you think about this lens?

Thank you for the video. Do. you use Capture One for all your image management? You don't use Lightroom Classic as well? Have you a separate laptop that you take on location, and a desktop that you use back in the office? Thanks for your time.
