- In this video I try to get back into portrait photography with an old friend/model Hannah Morris. I keep my photography kit as light as possible because I believe you only need one lens to handle all your portrait needs.
Check out Hannah:

what's great about this test shoot/reconnecting with friends is that both of you kept it FUN. the slow mo part stood out to me of the friendship to have. also hilarious. I enjoyed watching the mental notes having her jump into the crowd having her blend in. that idea opened up in the scene under the bridge. great work my friend !
It's always great to go out without friends, even if it isn't an accurate depiction of what its like to do this when you're getting paid. 😅
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Good shit Professor Roman.
Had me geeked the hell out in the first 3 minutes with that bokeh crutch - it’s outta hand right now.
Haha you inspired me to through the occasional jab. 🙏🏾
Amazing way of processing colors. And in these times, oh man, visiting NYC through your eyes is like a therapy.
Thank you brother! Glad to know I’m successful at giving that NY vibe.
Hearing you say to her that you haven't taken portraits in a while is mind blowing to me. Your environmental portraits have always been my favourite shots you take, I don't think I've ever seen one I didn't like. Thanks for the upload brother, always a treat!!
You're the man Jay! It's normal for me to get nervous at the beginning of the shoot. Eventually the creative mind takes over and steers the ship.
Thanks as always!
Model shoots in the city just looking for great spots or spots you found when doing street photography was what I was doing like every week here until you know what hit. Its been a minute for me. I really gotta get back on it. Thanks for the motivation. That setup is my dream portrait setup. 🔥
I would love to see you doing some of this on your channel brother! Bring it on!
Awesome content as always. This is amazing and glad you’re doing portraits again. Impeccable tones on these ones. 🙏
Thanks James!
hi!make a video of how you process a photo!beautiful color!
Thank you! That's going to be a long video!
That's a cool feeling and good vibe that it brings back to street portrait 👌🏻
I really like this direction. I don’t want to sound like a Leica M fanboy but… if you did something like this with more of the 35 lux I wouldn’t be mad lol.
Haha! Leica M portrait session is definitely coming!
Wow. You captured really great images of that very beautiful model. Watching this, I was surprised at how much the places you were shooting at look like Chicago neighborhoods. Also impressed with the IQ of that lens/camera combo. That SL 24-70 hasn’t gotten rave reviews (compared to their 24-90), but I’m very impressed.
This was 100% what a street portrait shoot is all about. 👏🏻👏🏻
Aaaaaamazing pictures!! Love the Colors!! And the 24mm really bright on those environmental streets portraits
Thank you! Seriously contemplating a 24mm M-lens.
Great video as always. Definitely excited to see more portrait content.
Gorgeous photos and colors!!
I really like your portraits and your positive energy!
Another banger video boss, thank you for continuing to inspire. 🙏
Thank you
Thank you.
Good work mate! Always love watching your videos, can't wait to see the next one already :)
Thank you brother! Already filming another one.
Dope portrait shoot! Shooting with a wide lens gives a nice editorial look to the images. Looking forward to more videos
That's exactly what I was after! Thank you!
photos are great!
Thank you Alex!
Man, this has me ready to make some editorial work. I haven’t shot editorial fashion in a while. Those shots at the shop corner are great. Love the colors.
Doooo it! You've had some great portrait videos in the past.
@@Stockezy thank you. I appreciate you.
Enjoyed the video Jason! I actually really liked the photo on 70mm:) hadn't noticed that you shot mostly on 24mm that one just stood out to me. Looking forward to more of these sessions!
There ya go! Seeing something you like is way more important than me telling you what to like. Glad I threw that one in the mix!
Great shooting man, really fun vibe too. It made realize how much I missed shooting portraits, I will arrange a TFP immediately :)
Get it brother! This outing definitely has me inspired to even get back into a studio setting.
That zoom sound is so old skool haha, I don't know why but I love it!!
Haha! Glad you noticed. I want all my videos to feel like old home videos.
Dude Id love to shoot with you when I heal up. I got into a horrible car accident and was forced to move to nyc cause this was a the closest place I had family to care for me as I heal. Before that I had just dipped my feet into street/focused photography, and your videos make me wanna hobble outside just to shoot sumn'. Keep it up bro.
Man, so sorry to hear about your accident brother! Wishing you a speedy recovery and definitely hit me up when you’re ready to hit the streets. 🙏🏾
On the street taking portraits love it, the light was great. By the way, what kind of strap were you using? Nice photos
12:22 - I’m like, I know this spot! It’s where we ended up after shooting for 3 hours during a workshop with Phil Penman. It was 8am on a Saturday. A few weeks ago. Got a cool snap with the Q2M of a guy riding some sort of dolly on the street under that bridge. So cool to see you took some snaps in the same area.
your color grading is exceptional. nice work Man
Thank you Kent. 🙏🏾
Would be great to know how your brand new 35mm summilux compares to the former and beloved 35 summicron. I've used the 50 lux on the new M11 and found hard to nail focus, but I'm not a rangefinder veteran, so that was to be expected, I'm afraid.
Man every time you wearin that Best Made down hanten jacket I’m mega jealous I didn’t cop it when they still sold 😆 dude great video, it was super useful to hear your “dont just blow out the background every time” and see you practice it. Good to see that example to learn. Appreciate you!
Ha! It's literally my favorite coat ever made. I actually own two of them because I'm so afraid of losing it.
Thanks for watching brother. Glad you found some value in it!
@@Stockezy lolll I don’t blame you! I gotchu!
Awesome. Love your style.
Thank you brother!
Great pictures!
Great video and stop being so hard on yourself. Considering the spontaneity of this shoot the photos came out great. What hit me was when you stated facts about magazine shoots and how they don't go for the bokeh look. It seems IG and TH-cam have made that a far bigger thing than what actually happens in the portrait and fashion photography world. I've got a test shoot later this week and I'll have a similar setup, the LUMIX S4 with the Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 and the Leica CL with Voigtlander 40mm f1.4. Looking forward to your next video.
Appreciate you brother! Haha someone has to be hard on me! It's very easy to let expensive gear and a few followers trick you into thinking your work is great. I'm just trying to remind myself there is always better and that's what I am after.
@@Stockezy word!
Cool video, some stunning shots. My top is 5:47 ; 10:32 &14:14
So good bro. Keep bringing it🔥
Appreciate it!
Great work 👊🏾
Another very content work! I am pretty curious about your explanations of the gears in the beginning that you skipped. Maybe you upload as a behind scene? haha. Already stoked for your next video! Stay safe bud!
No real explanation other than I didn't need to bring a flash or other lenses. 24-70 covers everything I could need and bringing more gear would have been distracting.
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff brother
Lovely colors and edits! Do you have sell presets?
Hey man !
I recognized myself on the moment before the shoot as you did hesitate on which gear to take with you. I real try to work on that, I sold a lot of gear lately, not because it’s wasn’t good. Just to limit myself on the choice I have.
Last year, having to decide which gear to pick for a shoot and sometimes bringing to much gear with me, has limited me in the creative process.
This has to change 💪🏻
I totally agree, the more you have the more distracted you can be if you're improvising. There are other situations that require you bring more but I know 80% of the images I take phot or video work, all I need is a 24-70.
The SL series is the closet thing I seen a digital camera look like film
Great video and stunning images, as always! The Fujifilm 16-55 is a little too large to use on the X-E4, for me at least, but the 18-55 f2.8-4 is a great compromise and forces you away from shooting at really shallow depth of field. I just need to get over my anxiety and introverted nature to be able to give this a go. Regardless, thanks for the inspiration and looking forward to more videos.
Oh, I notice you finally got the Amaran 60d! How’s it working out?
You'll get over it through practice and understanding that you don't have to be like more extroverted photographers. I've assisted plenty of people that where quiet and contemplative. You set the tone when taking photos. You'll find your way through practice.
The light is amazing! My girlfriend doesn't hate its footprint in our tiny space. haha
Thanks for the forget about bokeh for portraits advice. It's nice to know that a much better photographer than I am is also not a bokeh fanatic.
There is a time and a place for Bokeh. Some people believe that time and place is always and everywhere. 🤷🏾♂️
I thought every picture was amazing!
😊😘
More of this please 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Count on it! 🤞🏾
Great vid my man
Thank you brother!
🔥 🔥
Good one! I was really surprised by the out of focus area and nice fall off (bokeh) of the 24-70 zoom, especially at 24mm I would have expected a lot more depth of field, especially with the environmental shots (not the really close ups), I would never tought that such a clear separation is possible on the wider end, some of the shots look more like taken with the Leica Q2 (28/1.7) or the M 24er Summilux. Ok, ok, maybe not that strong, but seriously much greater subject separation as I would have expected. Thanks for sharing and the work you spend into it!
And if you ever come to Germany, let me know, happy to offer you a drink or more ;-) Respectful work!
brother!! we got the same orange beanie!! also an other banger!
Great minds my friend!
@@Stockezy Great minds do think alike!
side question - where'd you get the orange beanie LOL
Really nice video/pics....BTW most of the shots do look wide open.✌🏼
Yeah, a decent amount are wide open and some are at f4. The point is that I am not using a super fast tele-lens to remove context from my images. Pops of color and texture from the environment can help build the image. Shooting at 24mm wide open makes a very different image from a 80mm at f1.2.
the "music" is sooooo annoying
