You are subconciously adore photography
Its a sign
Hold up... Love that Blush... Proceed
BYERA 12 só peachy right!! 💜
me too hahaha so pretty
So funny! Jessica is beautiful, to boot!
me tooo!
LOVE how open and helpful she is about her experiences in photography! Nowadays, no one helps anyone about anything. THANK YOU
I've never closed Netflix so fast. I admire you♥️
this is the best compliment someone could receive lol.
hi. yes. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. IVE BEEN ASKING SO MANY OF MY FAV PHOTOGRAPHERS ABOUT THIS AND NOBODY EVER ANSWERED AND THIS HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME SO MUCH SO THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU
Aw love you too!!!
Thank God someone finally did a "Beginners guide" ! Everyone makes them so complexed! Actually obsessed with you and your channel! You're the bomb !!!! xxx
Please start a beginners. You've literally inspired me to start photography. I love your videos. Love from Jamaica😘
THIS IS THE BEST BEGINNERS VIDEO EVERRRR!!! Honestly! Your recommendations are so realistic unlike others who would recommend a 5D Mark III or something like that...The fact that you mentioned the Rebel T6 (which in our country India is called 1300D) makes me so happy because its the camera i currently use and i think its really underrated. Just wanna say thank you! God bless you
Thank you so much!! ^_^ I really appreciate that!
If you link one video (1 video) that recommends 5d Mark III i will donate you my Nikon D750..
The thing that I find very useful in 1300D (own one as well) is wi-fi connectivity. You can use smartphone as remote controller for the camera, with preview of the photos and stuff. Too bad no timelapse function, need a computer for that...
I've been wanting to get into photography, but really don't know which camera to buy
From Canon: 1300D (Rebel T6) or newer 4000D (which is cheaper, if you don't mind plastic mount)
From Nikon: D3400 or D3500.
Those are the cheapest if you want a brand new camera from the shop, and the difference between brands for a newbie pretty much doesn't matter. They both take good photos on kit lenses.
A 32 year old from Human resources background who got bored and sick of his profession and has decided to pursue photography as his second career.
Is there hope for me ?
Abu talib lll yeah a lot of people give up their other jobs to pursue a career in photography. It’s a fun hobby n a bit confusing at first but definitely fun when u get the hang of it
More than enough hope! Look up Annie Leibovitz
never too late to change your life!!!! Keep working on your dream and the results will come sooner or later! :)
It’s never too late to do anything! So many people live their lives with this timeline and think they have to do the same thing forever. Do what makes you happy and if you’re hesitant do it as a side gig until business picks up. Goodluck and I wish you the best
Who got so much time , good luck
This is hands down the BEST video I've come across on this topic. So specific and organized and HELPFUL beyond belief! You're rockin' it, girl.
I am just starting out in my photography journey (with a Nikon d3500), and have been watching videos regularly to better understand lenses and their purpose, regardless of brand. It's so refreshing to see a successful photographer like yourself provide feedback and guidance, without the unnecessary ego. Thank you!
Update ? How has your journey been with the Nikon D3500 ? I'm wanting to start photography and was looking to purchase that exact camera.
Why are your videos so good?
They're so clear, straightforward, and helpful.
I've seen many photographing videos but I was thrown off and thought it all hard job but you make things seem truly easy and simple.
Thank you soooo much!! I've been into photography my whole life but started taking it morr seriously over the last year. This has been so beneficial while I research my photography journey. ❤❤❤
Organized, honest, and thorough- I love your content! Thank you for putting this together 👌
BESSSTTT beginners video ever! I absolutely loved how organized and very detailed you were. From the recaps to the motivational tip at the end. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Great advice for beginners (and even for those of us who have been doing photography for several years)! The reminder that we can get overwhelmed with purchases is a good one. I still have to fight the impulse to get a bunch of new stuff at once instead of enjoying and really learning how to use what I already have!
Also, love your makeup in this video. :) I mostly watch a mix of photographers, digital artists, beauty gurus, and musicians on TH-cam, and it's always fun when there's a little bit of crossover between two or three of those interests in one video. In this video, I was enjoying both the photography content and the rosy makeup inspiration!
CanonT6 is an incredible beginner camera for anyone wanting to get into photography. I would recommend to get the Canon f1.8 50mm lens though.
That's really sad of you to have folk throw their money down the drain.
Pòl MacDhòmhnaill which one do you recommend
The 50mm 1.8 is the first prime lens j bought for my T6 and I've been happy and thoroughly impressed. I bought it for school and have received multiple praises from my instructors on the quality of my images and the work I've put out with it. As a starter prime lens the 1.8 is good. At least it was for me. I plan to get the 1.4 some day as well as a 35mm. I'm holding off on the 85 until I get a full frame.
@@SamiiLovee90 wouldn't 50mm on a t6 be a medium telephoto lens though?
@@manggaedduk yes, its more like a 85mm I assume but at the moment it works. It gives me far better images than my kit lens. Although, I still use it. I plan to invest in a 35mm because that will probably act more like a 50mm on a full frame.
my dad and I got into photography last year and I fell in love with it! He has a guy he works with that does/did photography and let my dad try out a Canon t3i camera, we liked it but decided to get a t7i camera and that is the one I started with and LOVE the quality it has. I graduated recently from highschool and my dad got me a Canon 7D mark ii from the same guy who lent us the t3i and I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! it is such a fast camera and from most professional photographer videos I have seen is one of the best cameras you can get. My dad got the Canon 18-135 lens with his camera and it is still one of my favorites; he also has a Canon 50mm that I haven't used much. The big lens that we have is the Sigma 150-600mm and it is great for wild life and plane photography. When he bought me my camera he also got me a 100mm macro lens from Canon and I love it so much, its like a magnifying glass for the world!!
I've had questions since I got my camera last year and you answered them ALL in this video, thank you so much jessica!! ❤
About kit lens: depending on the price difference between body only and a kit, the kit lens can be the cheapest lens you can have. When I first started photography, I had a Pentax with 18-55mm lens, I used it for landscapes a lot, and even for some portraits where I wanted to have some distinguishable background. It was a very decent lens.
my all time fav Photographer. Much love from Kenya.
Great video, Jessica. I just bought my first DSLR (unfortunately with a kit lens), also thanks to your series 4 photographers, which is just awesome, and couldn't decide which "proper" lens to buy, but now after seeing this video it's crystal clear, 50mm 1,8 and 70-300! Your channel is really great and inspirational. Thanks a mil and keep those videos coming, please :D
I've been watching all your videos recently on repeat, it really inspires me so much to do photography! Thank you jessica 💙 I really hope one day I can be as confident as you!
I’m loving the peach vibe. So pretty on you!❤️
omgg thank you for this! i've been really trying to find a camera + lens because i wanna pick up photography
I just recently got into to photography about two months ago and your video was the first one i clicked on when searching for "Beginners in photography". I'm so glad i discovered your channel. Once i watched a couple of your vids i instantly sub'd! Your vids about which camera/lenses to start off with as a beginner really helped me a lot. I've finally gotten my feet wet with knowledge of camera photography. Thanks Jessica and i look forward to your upcoming videos.
I’m a very beginner photographer, and I love watching Jessica for all sorts of tips. I now have the Canon EOS 80D after having the Nikon 1 J3 for several years. And I use Lightroom to edit, though I do hope to start learning photoshop soon.
Even with 6 years of photography experience, I still watch Jess's videos feeling like a beginner haha
I know it’s been a two years, but any recommendation of what kind to get?
I love your photos ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are awesome!!! I am 12 years old and love 💗 Photography and would love to be as good taking photos as you.
I needed this 💖
Love how in depth you went. This video is much needed. Thank You!
love this! I’m so happy that there are so many photographers who share their knowledge because I’m not confident about my photos
I loved this video✌🏾️helped me so much, I'm a beginner Nikon photography with 2 lenses! So glad I found your page💙
Can you do a video on how to use lightroom please? I'm starting again on photography. And I need help on that lol. Btw I love your photos and I admire you dearly. 😊 one more thing, how do you feel about studio lights? What are good ones for beginners?
That would be a video series, one video won't cut it)
@@evgeniydeus8137 true she should make a series, it'll help a lot.

@@roasty80 where? On Amazon?
@@roasty80 well the speed light I have
I have always loved photography and taking pics. I have never had a camera or anything, i take photos with my phone for now. Big, big thanks for this video, it really helps people like me for their future choices! ❤️
The way you explain things make so much sense. Honestly the most helpful video i have watched on photography.
I started with the 80D and it’s amazing, no regrets ❤️
I love how u described everything so clearly I have learned so much from this video and I’ve watched a lot but this one you really educated us thank you so much this is exactly what I needed 💞
I don't know which cam to buy for my wedding.
For me is print imp not the cam to show as I own an expensive cam. Plz help get a good quality cam.
I'm a beginner and I have the T6S (with the 18-135mm lens kit lense) which I love. I've invested in a few lenses, (50mm 1.8, 24mm 2.8, and 10-18mm). I have been learning so much from trial and error together with tutorials on TH-cam. I definitely recommend the Rebel series bodies or the 60d(or 70d or 80d) to start off with. They produce great quality photos and videos. Given the quality to price ratio (and considering diminishing returns) they're great choices.
Great recommendations!
I recently start photgraphy and I want to thank you, your videos really helped & inspired me. The recommendations and tips you give in this video are the confirmation for me that I'm on the right track. Keeping up the good work!
I would just like to thank you so much for this because I recently started taking photography classes since I started Highschool (Im a freshman) using a camera my parents had that I just randomly picked up and fell in love with (It was the Canon Rebel T6 with a 18-50mm lens) because it’s so overwhelming with all the options out there so thank you sOOOOO so much!!Hope you have a wonderful day!
Do you have or can do a video about basic photography information every beginner should know? 😊
This helped me soo much, I didn't know a thing before this video. Thanks❤️
First, I love you Jessica. I’ve been watching your videos since 2016. You have literally made my photography career.
If you are a student or former student with access to your university email you can get adobe suite for 19.99 a month plus tax. Also, if you have a crop sensor camera body the sigma 18-35mm 1.8 constant aperture will be your best friend. With the 1.6 crop factor (on canon) you’ll easily have a nice 35 and 50mm equivalent focal length in one lens. I bought the canon 50 1.4 first but if i could do it again I would have definitely purchased the sigma 18- 35mm first. FYI, i do mostly street and urban fashion so the 35mm focal length is usually where i live.
Omg have been waiting for this video!
I love the way you still use notebooks for your notes and not your phone.
This is the first TH-cam video that I understand about cameras. Great for the beginners. Thank you
This video was EXTREMELY helpful, thank you so much!
aaaaa thank you. the process of figuring this out is tiring
I love how your makeup blends with your sweater.
Thank you for that.
ALSO, DETROIT SQUAD!!
I can't. I cannot Thank you enough. Thank you Jessica. This is priceless for beginners.
Watching 3 years later, but this is the best beginner advice I have heard so far. Kudos!
Best advice I got was to start with the 'nifty fifty' (50mm 1.8). Me and my Canon T1i/50mm (ditched the kit lens almost immediately) took lots of pics and it help me learn one of the most important lessons - composition.
i am really thankful to you, i am wanting to get into photography, i've taken courses but they act like everyone knows everything. any help you give would be appreciated.
omg, i love that video - comes on the right time!!! everything in one video - thank you so much, jessica!!!
so should I splurge more on the camera body itself or the lens? Im sure they are both important but which is MORE important? Which one is the item where the difference really comes in?
Thank You!!!! photo editing apps fro beginners. this is just the best
Pls do an episode on "3 photographers shoot the same model but with 10 years old entry level camera" ( doesn't need to be 10 years old camera tho). I think it will be a good episode to watch. Thank you for always inspiring us.
Jhe Wattimury with a T3!
@@giannavega1390 I love my T3 and T6 so much. The quality is unbelievable.
omg this is such a good idea
I have a Nikon d5100 I bought for my first photography class years ago and haven't touched much since. Would love to see this video so I can pick it up again
Love this video! You covered all the basics. I like how you added information on post production too
thank you so much for this video, it is so hard to find other youtubers being this descriptive!!
I've been watching Jessica's recommendations for beginners and the such since the beginning of this channel but all I can is just watch cus I can't buy camera/Dslr at all 😭😭😭😂👌🏻💀
Thank you, that's what I need in starting in photography !! You're beautiful and your work also
jessica, you're so explicit and detailed!! i wish i had this when i first started!
Just started on my photography journey and this video helped me gain a bit of confidence, thanks 🙌🏽
Photoshop Elements is a good alternative to Photoshop for those starting out or on a budget.
Ah Canon, the Marcia Brady of cameras.
Thank you for this vid, I have two pages worth of notes. I'm in the thick of camera research rn coz Im gettin one by the end of this month!!!
Great video! Definitely a great watch and great recommendations.
Thank you so much for breaking it down on the lenses part. Best video ever.
the yongnuo f/ 1.8 is just as good as the canon and is only around $50!! another good zoom lens is the 70-200 f/ 2.8 tamron! It's a little pricey but it's amazing in lowlight, sports, and weddings!!
Zoe Barnes where can u buy a yongnuo. I have a fear of buying stuff online and getting scammed, so is there a website you’d recommend I’d buy it on?
Isabel Camarena b&h, adorama
I'm Spunkly thank you so much
Rachel J. Thank you for the feed back
This video was super helpful but I have an idea for a video / can you make a video on how to find your style of photography if possible thank you 🙏
Your “f” stop example was PERFECT!
one of the best teacher for beginners! thank you!
damn I should’ve watched this before I went and got my camera bc I got a kit lol
how's it going with your camera so far?
I got the kit also. I use all the lens and took good pictures, I am looking to get the 1.8 50mm lens
I actually have a Canon 80 D, it's amazing, but now I have to invest something on lenses 😔.. I would like to buy maybe the 16-35 or the 24-70 L series
By far the best and most informative video that I’ve been looking for for a long time! Thank you!
Ah bless you Jessica!! I’ve been following your channel for a while and I’m starting a photography class in school this year and was really stressing out, thank you!
I'm so sad that this video didn't exist when I bought my camera :(
What'd you end up buying?
@@MikeJovani a sony alpha6000 with 2 lenses
@@saraaavelazquez thats a completely fine intro camera
@@TR-ru7wl it is but I just wish I hadn't bought it with the kit because the lenses aren't good for the style that I want to photograph
Sara Velázquez what do you like to shoot?
Thank you so much for this I wish I could afford a laptop and camera can’t wait until then
I have seen several of this videos on camera recommendations for beginners and yours was the most informative and helpful. Thank you
I have the Rebel T6 with both kit lenses, and I added the 50mm 1.8 lens. Personally, I love the nifty fifty. It's very versatile and lets in a huge amount of light. The kit lenses, for my applications, are just fine. yes, there are some short comings with both, but a little time in lightroom, and I can fix most of them. All 3 are STM so they are fast and quite.
Never can go wrong with the classic 5D
I would say go full boar or stick to you mobile phone!buy used gear for better pictures!middle range price used I mean!60-70D canon and D7000-7100!watch a bunch of youtube vids and go for at least 2 primes at first!you will learn how shooting with aperture 1.8 faster with any variable f stop lenses and learn the magic rule of thirds!
Hi you really look like Ms. Universe Pia Wurtzbach. :) So pretty
Anyway, thank you for this video. Just in time since I'm getting interested in photography
I bought the 50mm 1.4 lens a few months ago thanks to another one of your videos and it's my absolute favorite lens!!! Thank you so much for these videos, they're so helpful!
Enjoyed watching this and you’ve done an amazing job presenting it. Thank you.
Kinda love Nikon they too have very nice beginner cameras such as D3300 3500 I just picked up a 3300 with only 175 shutter clicks for $225.00
La mejor recomendación para empezar en la fotografía! ✌🏼 tengo una T2i, lens kit 18-55mm y un 50mm F1.8 y les puede decir que hacen muy buen o trabajo para alguien aficionado a la fotografía! Lo único que no tengo es un programa para editar, siento que eso es hacer trampa, prefiero esforzarme lo mejor posible al momento de tomar la foto o video!
Thank you, please the lenses that you mentioned is auto focus in photos and videos? Its stressful to chose a camera and lens Thanks
This was honestly very informative! Thank you for these recommendations i will do more research but this was honestly a great start . I just wanna up my selfie game but i honestly love taking pictures ! 💕💕 much appreciated
Your recommendations were very helpful. Thank you so much.
I just bought an SL2, let's hope it's a worthwhile investment.
I'm still shy taking pictures in public with other people staring at me, any tips how to overcome it?
If your passionate about photography you shouldn't care what people think. I stand on tables, climb trees and lay in the street to get a picture. If you see a good shot, its your responsibility to get that picture.
SL2 is such a great budget camera! think about it this way; when you're out and about, you're not really paying attention to what other people are doing. and neither are they. they literally do not care about you or what you're doing. i used to feel the same way when i went out shooting video. once you realize it's all in your head and no one is actually paying any attention to you, it seems kinda silly! go out and shoot! no one cares! the world is ending! nothing matters! lol.
some people can get a bit rude if you happen to snap a picture of them but you'll get over this hump. Every photographer's been through this phase. It's common. Go out and shoot
Just dont
Be confident
The fact you reference Makeup 😂 you're speaking my language girl
I could listen to you all day, thank you very much Jessica.
This was so extremely helpful. Thank you!
I’m a beginner photographer and I’m 14 years old, I got the t7i for Christmas and the bundle came with 2 lenses and a bag (and ofc the camera body and strap etc.) do you think that’s a good beginner camera ? Have you heard anything about the canon t7i?
Its great, it is even better than the t6i so yeah , just think about what kind of pictures you wanna take and see if it fits your lenses
andres orozco thank u sm, well I wanna take like portrait/fashion photography, maybe also a bit of sports photography, I’ve just been taking pictures of my friends recently trying to figure out my style
LOL The makeup and brushes analogy was legit. 😂
Wow I love all of your recommendation!
Just came upon your videos about 3 days ago & i cant stop watching them. Also amazing tips! Thank you.💛
Syria here 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🇸🇾
Ok, but like... WHAT IS THE BEST CAMERA FOR BEGINNERS??? lol Just kidding. Love you Jessica!
Edit: THIS IS A JOKE. Y'all are sweet, but stop recommending cameras lol
Canon t3i or Canon rebel sl2
Ive bought the sl2 last week and its an awesome camera for the price and for beginners.
A6000 series are really good.. just need to be mindful of the crop factor on lenses
That's so unfortunate for me. I'm living in France and on amazon it's impossible to ship from USA to France 😭for those one. So yeah I'm stuck to use my phone but as a beginner i use the pro mode. how i dream to have a camera that won't cost too much but still have a capacity to help me improve photography skills before i could think to invest in a good one.
Any advice? And is it reasonable to have photoshop as a beginner or should I wait until I become more than beginner.
Thank in advance for any replies
@@nakakuava8392 the canon sl2 is called 200d in the rest of the world. Ive got mine in the netherlands for only 430 euros with a lens.
Love the makeup explanation, thanks love helped me understand 💕
Thank you. Definitely helped me to make a choice.
