- We're trapped indoors! You gave me portrait photos. I go through many of them and share some thoughts. FOCUS on: Good quality light vs poor light. Hope to get to all the photos down the road.

I know that you know and you don't need me to say it, but I’m going to say it anyway because this is America and I can say whatever I want, you’re very good Omar, really good.
I hope you do another one of these but for landscape photos!
Please do more of these videos! I don’t know anything about professional photography and it’s so interesting seeing you explain how some of these photos could be better.
Just excellent - I'm not particular into portraiture, but watched it because I love your presentational style....and I picked up a lot of useful tips for the odd time I do portraits. Another super vid
Amazing tutorial! I really like that you are giving tips based on actual photos, not just talking. It helped a lot and thank you so much!
Thank you so much - this was great and I learned quite a lot. PLEASE do more of these. Much appreciated.
This is awesome! I learned so much from this. I’m glad you provided true actual critiques so we can learn what to look for.
I love all your notes... They're specific, to the point and helpful
They're one of their kind...
Thank you!
Hey Omar! The photo at 9:02 was my dog! Thanks for the review and the tips. I was just lucky he loves looking out that window to find his mom which gave me the good lighting. I was worried I wouldn’t get the eye and nose in focus but next time I’ll give 2.8 a try. Ps. You are my favorite TH-camr. Many thanks from Canada
Cute dog!
This was excellent. You really taught me a lot on posing, lighting, distracting elements, catch lights, colors etc. thank you so much.
This was great. Being stuck at home I’ve been taking the time to delve into more technical aspects of photography and other areas, to hopefully bring into the shots I’ll be taking once we’re out there again and there were several nuggets of wisdom here I’ll be taking.
This was a fantastic video! I'm new to photography and love these videos far more that fanboy gear reviews!! You are easily becoming my favorite TH-camr! More vids like this please. Also I loved how you fixed that picture of the girl with heart hands. A video on how to recover/touch up almost good pictures would be great. Thanks!
Omar this is so helpful! It really is easy to understand and progress. We have been saturated with gear stuff (albeit useful), but now we want to improve as photographers with the gear we have. Thank you. You have hit on a niche formula: pro advice, humour, and variety.
Loved this one, please do more critiques they are interesting and helpful.
That's the BEST lecture about light I've ever seen on YT. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
Omar, thank you for doing this series on lighting with humor and clarity.
Very helpful video, Omar. I love natural light and try to utilize it as much as possible. You have taught me a lot about maximizing that. Big thanks to you and those who submitted work.
Thanks Gisele!
Love these videos! Learn lots of useful tips for a great variety of portraits. Pls do more of these!
Bought an X-T20 in January and went head over heels for photography. Omar, man, your videos have been sooo illuminating (light pun) for me! I just got an X-T3 and I have a 56mm in the mail. I’m looking to work on some self portraiture and learning to use strobe while I’m staying home and social distancing. I took a lot out of this video. Especially the posing tips. Thanks again for your videos!
Thank you so much for these insightful critiques!!! I watched it many times !
Hi Omar. I know you said great composition for the baby picture, but we don’t even know what he was playing...
Harold Bernard 😂
Damn, that's good.
@@ogonzilla 😂😂😂😂
Hi Omar, there's always something to learn in your videos and they are relaxing and funny as well.
Great job 👍
Loved your little nuggets of wisdom! Thanks so much.
What an amazing video. In addition to your photography skills, you have great teaching chops. Your strategy of talking about a skill (using good light), what you see in the photo and also what might be next for the person in their growth is superb teaching. Bravo!
The horizon stare hooked me to see all your other videos!!! Great great great tips...
Spectacular Omar, learn a lot and have fun at the same time! Love your personality and manor! Keep up the great work 😊
Wow portraiture is a whole different ball game. It's what intimidates me the most about photography. A lot of great tips in this video
You're a great teacher Omar. It's all about the light dude.
I love your energy and humor. Haha. Your analysis is so spot on i learnt a lot thankssss
I just found your channel and I glam thoroughly enjoying your videos and even better still I’m learning. Im binging you now and spreading the word! 😀 thank you!
Great video! Kudos to the photographers brave enough to be critiqued! I'm amazed at how relatively minot tweaks can make aa photo pop. Thanks for making!
This video was super helpful! I’m definitely going to focus more on making sure the eyes have catchlights. Thank you for emphasizing that.
Thanks. Please do more of these.
THX Omar, great discussion & learning points for us to see & adapt ..
Very helpful video at a time when so many of us are locked indoors!
Loved this presentation. I love all your videos. Thank you.
One of your best videos, Omar. And that’s a not easy to say because the majority of your work is great.
Wonderful video. I love how you give comments on the photos. As you point out what should be improved in the photos, I kinda understand more about lighting
Great video. I will definitely use the tip about posing and SS being double the focal length.
Hello Omar, i really enjoyed this one and i would appreciate you doing more of this kind of videos. I feel like i learned a lot. For my taste these could be like 10-15min every few weeks.
Great video Omar, looking forward for another one
Looove this and your sense of humor!
You are a portrait pro. One of the best critiques I have seen.
YO...that's crazy nice
More videos like this please! I'm still working on how to find good light;)
Great video. Learned a lot. Now, it's time to critique some landscape and street pics.
Soooo cool!! I definitely want to participate in the next one! 🐣🐣🐣
Great video.............as usual! Learnt a lot.
Awesome tips! Would love to see more of them!
The concept of "QUALITY OF LIGHT" is something I learned from your previous videos. I am still learning.
Thanks for this video, critiques are the best way for all to learn!! Be safe!
I'd love to see more videos like this!
These videos where you go through a bunch of pictures and comment are very helpful. Thanks.
this was very helpful, i really appreciate the tips and im going to be working on them on my days off!
Another great video lesson Omar. Thanks
Awesome video, and I learned a lot! Keep them coming!
Loved this video, lots of pics reviewed and quick critiques
Greets from Germany, Bavaria, Munich. I am in Homeoffice for about 7 Weeks, because of Corona. I am disabled and my son too. So, we are in danger they say. I thank you for your always positive vids, you bring so much joy in my home in this bad times. THANK YOU and all the best for your wonderful family. Greets from my whole 4 persons and one dog family.
I have trouble telling the difference between bad and good light. I found this video very helpful. Thank you.
Wonderful insights and diagnoses of the photos Omar! As they say though, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing..." The next time I go to take a portrait, I'm going to lock up with fear of bad lighting.
Ehi Omar, cheers from Italy 🙏🏼
18:55 That's my photo! Thank you for your comments, I really appreciate it! I had no reflector, I shot it in the shadows and she was standing on a white blanket so that's what maybe reflected the light. I really appreciated the comment on the white of the eye, I'll pay attention to it! Sometimes it's just a bit difficult because my girlfriend gets shy ahah. Great video! Loved all the tips and tricks.
Really enjoyed watching this. This should be a series.
Hey Omar, thanx for all the great tips! Just starting out with my Z6ii here, but for now I really love the images.
Learned so much from this VIdeo Omar, thanks for going through all these photos 👍🏽
Super helpful video. Learning a lot from how you analyze these.
hi omar! this video is very very good and helpful for me!
continue it!😀🙏🌹
I also liked the funny side of your talk😂
This is one I’ll want to watch again.
Damn. So nice of you. Feedback really helps. Thanks!
Super helpful. (As an indoor project, the current self-isolation may be an opportunity for photographers to work on assembling photo books.)
that before and after is amazing!
Man, that "3 elements" technique for posing. I will never forget it. Thanks
Brilliant. Instructive and entertaining, TVM.
TYVM!!!!!
I am lost for words, you are very good!
It‘s just a pleasure to watch your videos, Omar. Thank you so much! Will practice right away with my kids and wife :) Regards from Germany
I really like the way you explain things. It is informative and soooo entertaining. 🙂 Thanks!
Thanks Omar for this video! was super helpful!
Hi Omar, just starting to take people images and understanding better how the light works. This video was amazing, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Omar, great tips!
Nicely done, good comments. Learned from it!
such a genuine critique...with the typical Omar style humour...which is great as always btw..loved it
Omar, for color temperature using the temperature color checker on the white of the eye of your subject , gives usually an accurate temperature value
I spit my coffee all over my desk when you made the posing face!!!
Amazing and well done! discovering you late but enjoying you!
Wow, this Video is amazing. These Infos help me a lot for my Future portrait photographing to keep in Mind. I like, that you are Not talking about a lot of theoretical stuff but give Short and precise suggestions and Tips how to improve Light, frame or model compositions.
Keep Going!
Thank you omar for the critique i appreciate it, soon i will submit some photo using my Fuji xt30.

Superb video. Waiting eagerly for part II
Thanks for this. Very good and super useful for a beginner trying to figure this stuff out!
Love your "staring into the horizon" comment! You're a nut (in a good way)! Got a nice chuckle from that one LOL! Great videos! Thanks!

Great video as always. I felt like I was back in school . . . but actually learning something useful and having fun:)

Brilliant, only just found your channel, was Canon DSLR, moved to FujiX100T, about to go XT3. I love your sometimes brutal summary, some maybe unhappy but its what we all need to improve. Keep up the great work.
