this was dope but would have been nice to see how you used the reflector on angle. good job though sir thumbs up.
How did you use the reflector by yourself?
Stand and rod with clamps for reflector. No need in assistance.
You literally didn't tell anything in this video about using reflector
Maybe if you watch through the entire video carefully you'll see how the model and I were holding the reflector to achieve the shots that we did. This wasn't a tutorial. I hope you enjoy!
@@MarcTaraz @Marc Taraz Steiner Hi, I completely understand that it wasn't a tutorial; however, your title suggests that you are giving information on how you use the reflectors, and that's why some people click and you get the views. Most photographers on here do that, and again I get that is not your thing, but this response was just not cool. I just saw a post of yours on Twitter, where someone asked "how" you did something and you referred them to a link, so that is what led me to your channel, and I subscribed. But honestly, the way you responded to this person literally made me unsubscribe within minutes. When you're wanting to build a following, which leads to lucrative opportunities, interactions matter. I know I'm only one person, and it probably won't matter, but there where at least 77 viewers who thought it was a "how to." And fyi, some do read responses, so just giving you some feedback. Thank you for your video.
@@d.b.n.3974 wow you really BUILT this response. yeaaaaaa I may be BUILDING an assumption here, but no where in title does it say "how to" or does it seem to say it is a "how to" video. Thanks for your comment.
Beautiful shots. Imana is incredibly beautiful. Nice work, guys.
Watching you grow as a photographer and TH-camr is delightful buddy! Your content is worth watching every time. You killed this!
Thank you 😭❤️ you are too kind
Were you holding the Reflector with your other hand?
Yes I was!
take a shot every time you say "killing it" haha Amazing video dude!! I've been looking into a reflector/ diffuser set and this video has completely convinced me so i thank you for that!!
*dies of alcohol poisoning* dude literally its like 20 bucks and the best purchase you'll ever make. Highly reccomend
Your color grading is dope. I'm definitely subscribing.
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it!
Me too😂😂🖖🏾
what a beautiful girl. Amazing pictures.
How did you use the reflector?
DAYUM FAM!
I was just ready to spend 1k for a outdoor strobe setup. After watching this, I just get a Reflector for 20 bucks hahah
How do you actually "hold" your reflector if you are staying away? Do you have a assistant?
Glad I could help! I much prefer reflectors to lights, cheaper, more mobile, and still has that natural light look. The one I used has a hand grip which is super nice. I'm a one man band, so for closer up headshots I'd ask the model to hold the other end out of frame, that's worked really well. Getting a slightly smaller reflector would also allow you to do it. I linked the reflector I use in the description, but any reflector will get the job done if you angle it right
@@MarcTaraz Oh totally forgot to read the Description tho! Appreciate it Fam! thanks a lot :D
You'll need a flash for certain things. I absolutely love reflectors. I have several but just because you have a reflector doesn't mean it replaces a flash. There are certain looks that you *cannot* get with a reflector.
How to colour grade lyk ds ?
These were color graded with my presets and luts! Link in the description
What lens did you use to record?
I used a mixture of all my lenses! All my gear is in the description!
Hey bro, just subscribed and watched like all of your photoshoots videos hahaha! I'm a Canon RP user thats switching to the Sony A7III (when coronavirus epidemic ends)...
I'm mainly a Boudoir Photo/Video shooter, I was using the EF 24-70 f.28 L II on my Canon, but since I'm gonna sell all of my gear when moving to Sony, decided to go only primes...
I was thinking:
-Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art
-Sony FE 85mm f1.8
But now, seeing your channel, I realize that maybe the Sigma 35 and Sony 85 would be a better combo for apartments, hotels kinda shooting...
What do you think? Thanks bro
In my honest opinion id hold off on getting any new gear anytime soon. The Canon eos R5 and R6 are supposed to come out this year, as well as the Sony a7siii and a7iv. Even if you do decide you still want to switch to sony, I'd wait till those come out, because there will be steep discounts on the a7iii. Aside from that, yes, I love my 85mm 1.8. The 50 mm is also a great lens, but for me personally haven't found it that drastically different from the 85, which is why I chose to get the sigma 35mm 1.4. I try and get lenses that are different enough that they are worth the money for me, a 85 and 50 are a bit similar. I could just back up with my 85 or get closer with my 35, and that means I don't need a 50. But that's just me! Everyone has different preferences, and the 50 is a great lens and focal length. I think either way it's hard to go wrong.
Marc Taraz Steiner yeah, I know what you mean! And of course, I’m waiting for those R5 and R6 to come and see how about them!
For the Sony side, didn’t know that the A7IV was coming... Ok I’ll wait hahahaha
And yes, I also believe that a Sigma 35 1.4 and the well loved by EVERYBODY Sony 1.8 it’s a fantastic combo to have!
Thanks again bro
Yea all the new cameras are going to be coming out, so I think it's best to just wait till they are out before you make a big decision like that. And yea I love my 35 & 85mm combo. Pretty much the only lenses I need. There is a reason why they are universally loved. They arw fantastic.
Glad I could help! Hope you enjoy my future vidoes!
Marc Taraz Steiner for sure bro, you’re awesome and you DEFINITELY will have a BIG channel
You're too kind. Appreciate it!
Which Size reflector are you using here in the video?
Link is on the description!
Nice 😎👌👌
Why is the white balance so warm
Becauae thats my style
She is so gorgeous you could’ve took her pictures with a disposable Kodak and they still would have came out great.
guess this was a lifestyle type video and not a demonstration of the photo method.
nice video, but consider not spinning the camera so much
What can I say. I love my whip pans and showing both me and my model ☺️
Amazing video...like others have said, it would have been nice to see where you put the reflector, was it on a stand? Did you have an assistant?
Nope! It's all me! One man band. I was holding the reflector myself ☺️
I love your vids so much!! What can we do to help your channel grow bigger
I'm so glad you like them! You can help by sharing them! That's the biggest help!
Cool shots but I left with literally no idea how to use the reflector...
Was I the only one expecting to see how he setup the reflector?
Marc coming to LA 🔥 they ain’t ready for you when you come to visit! Amazing tones in these photos! Killing it Marc! How were you vlogging and photographing at the same time? Using that 28mm? 🤔
Its been almost a year since I was last in LA. Looking forward to coming back soon! Thanks buddy! It was a lot of "ok I'm gonna switch lenses to vlog, be patient, *vlog* switch lens back to 35 or 85, take broll and photos, repeat" 😂😂😂
Marc Taraz Steiner hahahahah, that’s keeping it real!
Pictures looking great, personalities on camera... fake af, makes me honestly cringe. I would so much rather see the true personas with no bs instead of this "peter mckinnon" style/ everything is happy and cool youtuber thing... I don't understand why people can't be real, would feel so much more natural and easy. Just my opinion though
Stunningly gorgeous 💕
Reflector..... where lmao?
ok son where is the reflector
LOL
where is reflector ? xD
Hello, I see your gear info below but could you let us know what you used specific in this video everything looked amazing!
Hi! I used my sony a7riii for all the photo and video, the 28mm for the vlog shots, and the 35mm and 85mm for the photos and slow motion shots of Imana. The 5in1 reflector is what I used on the shots with cool lighting
Amazing video!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻
Thank you Jay!
Please do a video on your color grading for video. The video was even more impressive than the photos.
I actually have a couple tutorials on my channel, but this was color graded with my LUTs for HLG3
Do you use any presets in post?
I do indeed! You can find my presets on my website! www.marctarazsteiner.com/shop
thanks for the link :)
Anytime ☺️
You’re amazing brother
Thanks man ☺️
What settings and lens did you use for these
I used both my 35mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.8! Settings changed from shot to shot to get the right exposure
@@MarcTaraz thank you so much ill try this out
This is great!
Beautiful images and model....
No info on how you used the reflector!
This IS WOW 🔥🔥😍😍😍
How did you use the reflector did soemone hold it?
Nope! I held it myself! This one has a nice hand grip. For the super close up shots id get the model to hold the other end
Did you use any type of filter
Nope!
What lenses did you use for this shoot?
All my gear I used is in the description!
