Liked this before it had even started because I know every single one of your videos is serious Boss level stuff.
Thanks so much!
same!
It’s so helpful!
Crooked horizons annoy me every time. They just show that people don't care.
Felix Henneberger I think that the reason is usually, that they don't really see it how bad it looks. When someone teaches them to correct their horizon, they see how bad their picture looked before
while i agree with both of you, and since im new in to photography i ask: can it be used intentionally may be to achieve a feeling of movement , action, and-or life? just curious.
Absolutely break any rules you want! We just recommend you learn them first and understand why they exist to begin with.
“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist” - Pablo Picasso
beautiful !
I actually disagree with the "Don't try to recreate someone else's work" point. While yes you shouldn't be replicating someone else's work and profiting off it, I would say go ahead and replicate what the pros are doing! The same equivalency come to mind with drawing, painting, and filming. Recreate what the pros are doing and see what the steps are you need to go through to be able to achieve their level. As long as you aren't crediting yourself with the final product I think it's an amazingly useful exercise to replicate (even carbon copy) the pros to be able to get better at the art of photography.
Whatever works for you!
I agree with Marcel Morin, when I was learning to make music, I would copy others’ song note by note, every instrument. It helped me learn my DAW very well and what all is involved in a song. Only then I moved into cover territory where I added my own twist to a song.
I intend to follow the same technique to learn photography
"Whatever works for you!"?? Really? From the creators of a video called "How to Shoot and Edit Like Brandon Woelfel"??? That's a very ambiguous and hypocrite position.
Specially as in education you're taught to try doing what they did and in time find your own thing, without learning how other people did things no one will learn to improve or least, beat the teacher.
acidnaught Bro chill, shooting in the same style as someone and completely copying their subject matter and composition are totally different things
I think you SHOULD try to rip off others. When you're learning something creative, copying someone is the best way to really explore the process. It makes you look at technique and study things you like. Your own twist and completely different style will come naturally. It's just inevitable. "Don't copy" is a pet peeve of mine almost as much as "Camera's don't matter." And it's ALWAYS the people with nice cameras that say it. Camera's absolutely matter and copying people is a great path to finding your own style.
And there is always a line under all these tips that say Brake all rules...So yes, i am going to edit boring clouds to be more like an apocalypse!! Some people love it and some of course, don't! .i.

What I believe is as of you said, it might not be like copying but replicating I like to call it that way. I Just take the idea but I put my own style on it or try to change something like disalign something.
I use this advice in my own life as a Christian but taken from the words of the apostle Paul: “Imitate me as I imitate Christ.”
Very interesting point here because I also believe "copying" someone is more just like "adding a skill to your bag." And once you've added the skill, you can build on it, change it, make a new style off of the one you learned and make _that_ your own.
Enjoying these so much. Even though I knew most of the tips, you guys always keep it light and refreshing. I'd just add that I love seeing photographic examples (loved the finding locations video and the instagram photos vid for that), so if I could make a request, I'd love to see your videos incorporate more practical photography examples. I've checked out your work and it's excellent, so learning from two talented photographers' examples is pretty awesome!
Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback. We're always looking to improve the videos, so we appreciate it!
Of course! If you guys are ever in LA and want to shoot together, this is me: www.tajreen.com. Looking forward to the next vid! :D
so i've watched a gazillion of videos about photography and nothing really impressed me, BUT I JUST DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL AND IT'S SO AMAZING AND I REALLY WANT TO HUG U RN
Love your videos guys! Haven't seen such a great photography oriented content in a while. And man I can just tell how much you love each other, that's a great bonus :) Keep the videos coming.
Thanks, László!
The last tip is amazing. I see so many amateurs (and sadly even some professionals) blatantly copying someone's work and not adding any personal thing to the shot. Great video as usual. You are on your way to become one of my favourite youtubers. Keep it up 😊👍
I would say that these tips are for people who are just beginning. I wouldn't follows these as if they were rules, but a basic way to get you thinking like a photographer. Once you understand the concepts you will probably break many of these. It all comes back to the story or point you are trying to make in your photograph.
Perhaps a canted shot would best allude to the dystopian feeling you want the viewer to see.
Otherwise if you want to make your photos to simply look visually appealing go ahead and use these, they are great. 👍🏻
Great points! Yeah, once you think like a photographer and understand concepts, you can be intentional with breaking rules for a purpose.
Nate's Film Tutorials it's so funny when he said not to desaturated, I was like... he wouldn't want to my recent school project/ portfolio of photos.
photography is a trend and the trend now is desaturated photos. Just like back in the 90's where faces were to smoothed out and then mid 2000 where photos had to much clarity.
I really like you put your tips in the description so I can quickly refer back to it later instead of skipping through video for it.
All great tips! But especially tip #6. I get the best results using natural lighting. Even though I shoot more video than photos, overcast daylight is the best!
honestly, can't tell you how much I love your channel it's the most aesthetically pleasing thing I have ever watched!!!!!
wow where has these channel been? i totally love it! i watched all your vids in a row haha! really looking forward to a new vid :D keep up the good work! :D
Thanks!
Your guys' sense of humor makes learning your tips so much fun LOL
You guys give the best advice / tips on photography. I've learned so much from your videos and please keep 'em coming!
Like the tip 10. There is so many photographers on instagram who are coping others work but I also understand that today is hard to fully be authentic. I don't even like to use others ideas, I still have a feeling I'm coping them.
Have been watching photography tutorials for years now and I learned a few new things from this video - I think that says a lot. Thanks guys! Looking forward to the next one :)
I know absolutely nothing about photography. I've been slowly learning and completely loving your vids. Cheers.

This video was very helpful & needed. OMG. For a minute (a long time), I’ve been doing the opposite. I couldn’t comprehend why the photos weren’t coming out professionally.

Definitely taking these tips to heart! New subscriber. 👌
Subscribed, this is so good!
Trying to duplicate a photo you like can be a great learning tool for beginners. Not copying for copying, copying to learn how he/she ACCOMPLISHED that one particular shot.
Learning how to adjust settings and others, can give a novice photographer the knowledge to use those techniques on his/her own subject of shooting.
Great contents. Subscribed! ♥
Really enjoy watching your videos, can't wait for more!
Glad you enjoy them, Monica!

I freakin love photography!! Great video man you just earned a subscriber !
Great video! Nice and pratical tips!
So I have a question: when shooting do you think of the photo as it is right out of the camera or do you think "I can fix that in post production later..."?
I'm a new sub! These tips are soo helpful! Thank you!
Keep it up! Keep on enjoying your craft and adding value to others:]
By the way, how do you shoot your videos? The lighting is excellent!
HAHA you guys are great! Great tips!
Loved all these tips! I did not know about "heads on the horizon" is a not.
Also, I love what a power couple you guys are.
Keep grindin'!

You guys are absolutely amazing! Very talented! I was wondering what camera u use for video and also photography, I'm looking into getting a new camera or two

You got some very nice videos and some awesome tipps on your channel thanks for the great content :D! I really like it that you don't make a mysterie about your work that makes you very sympatic =).
Just a question to the horizon portrait thing. Where should you put the horizon in an portrait if not through the head?
THOSE WERE ALL GOOD TIPS!
You got me at " I love Daniel" :))
Subbed! Awesome channel
