The raw photo looked good without any editing.

[@girmaykahsai]

Ahaa for whom?

[@rockywaters9592]

I agree, a little too much exposure and highlights on her face has caused it to lose some texture, especially around the forehead and bridge of the nose.

[@powerforward1955]

I watch most of his videos. This one really stands out. For me, I would not mess with it in post. The raw photo IMHO demonstrates his skill, the model is outstanding for this particular shoot and the alternate background nails it. No doubt I can’t afford a lens like that yet, but in a couple of years I hope to sell all my equipment, buy one full frame mirrorless, 2-lenses (zoom and 35mm prime) and call it a life. Peace.

What a wealth of knowledge in one video.

[@bv52gyf]

Thanks for sharing, I’ve been a huge fan of your work and especially your portrait tutorials. I’d be interested in watching a black and white edit that produces a “timeless” image
I wish you every success in 2022. Andy (Scotland)

[@itaylorm]

Helpful run through of finding a good scene vs the original. I did like the editing to emphasize her

[@markpierre7859]

Great info

[@nelukaphotography]

Thank you for making you videos easy to follow...so when you purchase the presents from you do you have videos to go with it. Cheers

[@RalphNardell]

Love the content, thank you so much. Even watching her pose was a learning experience.
PS. I watched this video right after "5 Ways to Maximize Depth of Field" and my mind is blown that that is the same model! So many ways to be gorgeous.

[@souravsingh-jt3jz]

Good job 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@mawiya_designs]

Love your content

[@KristoffTitan]

Pye, member here, literally never looked at your hair. Don't need gel also thank you for updating the lighting workshops

[@aznoy]

Can we have more videos like this? Composition to the edit? I learned alot in this one video.
I loved the Fstopper and Slr Lounge photo challenge but I felt like you won them all. Can you go up and do city photography against pierre t. lambert or say Alan Palander? Thanks for the great content.

[@gokulram_photography]

Fan from india ❤️😍

[@han5k2]

Great video! The next video I watched was "How to Identify Poison Ivy"...

[@Soul_Visuals_Photography]

What do you use to screen record and record video like this?
