Subscribed to Phil. I think he's got the right mindset and has lots to offer as an educator. Thanks for the heads up Omar.
Thanks for helping him out!!
I subscribed as well :)
Subscribed. Great interview and thanks for the tip Omar.
Same, lets pile on and give Phil his due.
Thanks for introducing us to Phil Porto. He really is an inspiration. I have subscribed to his TH-cam channel.
My wedding was shot with Fujifilm. I didn't choose the photographer by the gear they carry, but by the portfolio
HECK YEA!
Always choose the photog by the gear. Always!
Those portfolios will 95% of the time be subpar. 95% of photogs don’t know true high end. High end photo maybe but no high end post.
The irony is, the majority of professionals that do use Fuji gear came from some sort of FF system…
🤔
@@000CloudStrifebut you know ?
A good wedding photographer can shoot a wedding with almost any camera! Artistry, attitude and experience are much more important than camera brands. Obviously of course!
As a fuji shooting sports guy, I love this conversation.
thank you for checking it out. head over to the channel and see if anything speaks to you!
I swear this is the BEST photography channel on TH-cam, and I’ve been around long enough to have seen them all.

This was a fun interview! Love Phil! I shot quite a few weddings with an X-T2. Loved every second of it!
I shot two weddings. Returned my X-T2, when examined the results. Got 5D III instead.
@@pogolas Shot on the 5D II for a while and briefly with the 5D III before moving to Fujifilm. Great cameras!
I still shoot weddings with X-T2s (and an X-Pro2).
@@markbebawi I don’t shoot weddings anymore, but I’d probably just rebuy a couple of used X-T2’s if I were to start again.
Kevin Mullins has been shooting weddings for years using his Fuji gears and I love his body of work. Great video anyway, thanks!
Yeah. Love Kevin Mullins' work! Been shooting Fuji X-system stuff for about as long as any pro has been able to.
yeah. no takeaway to what he does. Hes been doing it a long time. Idk how long, but probably even before me, which was 2016
@@KentuckyMan30hey 👏
Love John Mullins work too! I bought the 18 1.4 because of him and I love it!
Of course you can shoot weddings on a Fuji! I see Fuji wedding photographers in Central Park all the time. It’s not the tools, it’s the talent behind the camera!
I remember when the fuji s2 pro was the wedding photographer camera of choice
Dude, I shot two weddings with an X-E3 and X-H1 combo. Got the slower lenses at that time too, the original 56mm and 35mm. Clients were still amazed with the output. It really depends on how you master your gear.
couldnt agree more. that slow focus 56 and loud auto focus 35 cranked out some beauties for me too! haha
Shot 10 Weddings with just the X100s back in 2012.
NOW THATS AWESOME!!!! Would LOVE oto see those images@@emailkaneilo
I do all my event work with fuji's. The 35mm sometimes is annoyingly r2d2ing when i dont want to. But overall it meshes well with my workflow. And more important i love the experience. Reggie Ballesteros is also a very genuine (former) Fujifilm wedding shooter and great content creator.
Magical lens 23/35/56. I shoot cycling and football/soccer with xt3.
I once shot a wedding forty years ago and I hated it but found it very interesting to hear you two professionals talk about what makes good photography. One of your best posts Omar, thank you!
yeah, weddings are NOT for everyone! that is for sure!
Great video, Omar. My photography journey began in the ‘70s in high school. After delivering newspapers for a year, I saved enough $ to get myself a Yashica Electro 35 and a Yashica 124. I got so proficient with the 124 that friends who could not afford to pay for a wedding shoot they would ask me to do their shoot. My fees were $25.00 and a dinner of arroz con habichuelas y busted encebollado 😂😂😂. That was during my high school years, and that income was wasted at the discos. By the way, after experimenting with the 124, all my shootings with the 124 were done without the camera’s internal light meter. I still have that 124. My last wedding shoot was in 1982 when I was attending the US Coast Guard Electronics School at Governors Island, one of my most cherished times during my career. My best friend asked me to shoot his wedding, and we coordinated to do it on a weekend with my Senior Chief's permission. What a trip was that departed the base on Friday afternoon and returned to the base very late on Sunday evening 😂😂😂. I always shoot with 2 124, mine and a friend’s, just to cover any situation. After a very long hiatus from photography, I decided to embark on my second phase in life (I retired from the US Marshals in December 2017), and a few months ago, I purchased an X-E3 and an X-T30II. Coño, the learning curve for both cameras is a pain, but I am learning slowly 😂. Since old habits are hard to break, most of my shooting nowadays is mostly done with manual lenses, with the TTArtisan 35 1.4 my favorite one. Because of this video, I subscribed to your channel. Gracias bro. Stay safe.
hahahahaha best comment ever. Dont tell my clients, but I would probably shoot it for arroz con bistec palomilla, but what they dont know wont hurt them hahah
Excellent vid guys and it's great to see Phil doing weddings with the Fuji system. Successful photography - particularly under pressure is highly dependant on feeling comfortable with your camera, leaving you to concentrate on the creative aspects without worrying. There's always an element of learning with a new system and the creative side kind of gets put aside a bit until we're comfortable. The analogue controls and dials on Fuji are so intuitive instead of ploughing through the menus. 🙂
Omar, it’s so amazing that you have brought Phil on. Have been following him for years. And I always found his content really good. Really good.
thank you so so much!
Loved this. The frank discussion of photography styles was great. "Know who you are as a photographer, develop your style and know your equipment" Great pearls right there!
thank you so so much!
I use a Nikon D500 DX camera. Even now, it’s autofocus is blisteringly fast and it still punches above its weight with regards low light shooting. Plus, knowing that I have 10 fps for 200 images without pausing for breath, is still a huge bonus. As for image quality, 21 mp really is good enough. File sizes are kept manageable and enable me to maintain a fast workflow. I have also produced 30”x40” prints and they look awesome. When you consider that forty foot billboards can look crisp and detailed, even when taken with a 5mp camera, you realise, that viewing distance is key. Most wedding albums contain either 5”x7” or 4”x6” images. Well, even an iPhone can handle that! (I shot an entire wedding on an iPhone because, well, reasons! )
I recently got two af-p lenses. I am shocked at how sharp, how fast they focus, and how silently they focus. Looks like ill have to save up for a D500 :)
I know pro photographers who make all their work with APSC DSLR cameras from Nikon or Canon. So i think modern Fuji mirrorless should be enough for a pro photography work. I mean a XH2S have far better specs that most full frame now in the market at same price.
I just did a wedding with an x-h2 and x-t5. It was fine. At one point the H just froze and I had to take the battery out. The primes (50mm F1 and the new viltrox 27mm) look much nicer. I didn't like the colour very much. But they were lighter. Another real advantage is that the slightly increased depth of field is good for shooting couples - when I've shot FF it was very possible to endlessly have just one of the couple in focus. I probably wouldn't like to use them too much.
Nice interview. I was asked recently to shoot a wedding for a young, needful, couple at church. No was not an option. Being strictly amateur, the pressure was on. Ordered a speedlite from B&H to cover flash needs on my X-T2 (I cast myself as a second shooter) and hired a pro with his Leica SL2 for the main event. He hadn't done too many weddings recently (now mostly RE, portraits, and landscapes), but still had pretty good chops. The results were quite satisfactory, but neither of us could imagine doing it for a living. So, good for Phil, and you too.
yeah, the wedding life is not for everyone. i tell photographers all the time, "you do this for the money and you will quit within a year"
Nice meeting Phil (Subscribed!), great interview. I'm not a seasonned wedding photographer but I've shot my fair amount. All Fuji. It's a nice fit for me, I'm at ease with the system. It comes down to knowing your gear and be able to use it like it's second nature. I've shot professional basketball many years with Fuji (ok ok pro basketball in Canada is probably the equivalent of kindergarten basketball in the states) but still got very consistent results. Know your camera and know what you're shooting are the two most important things.
hahahahahah dying. Dont knock your basketball. You guys just won FIBA with my New York Knick RJ Barrett. you guys represented. haha. Thank you for the sub
When I consider my own wedding photos, these types of modern discussions are amusing. Our ceremony was shot on 5000-series Kodak 35mm and the reception shot on a B/W I forget (6x6 120mm)
None of the ceremony was in focus or had accurate colors. The reception shots were fine. We literally looked at the ceremony photos one time and that was it.
Phil’s photography was truly beautiful. Awesome video and a decent intro to another creators photo channel. Nice one Omar! 👍
thank you so so much!
@@philporto you have an amazing natural grasp for composition sir. Looking forward to making my way through more of your own videos.
Omar, please do more wedding lighting and editing tutorials. Your photos are amazing!
It must make you wonder how us old buggers managed without AF back in the days of film (we didn't take 1000+ photos either). Back in the UK Kev Mullins is the Fuji wedding man.
Love this conversation! A lot of Porto's advice rings true in the music space as well. Lots of parallels with photography. Lovely to hear both perspectives! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏾
I was recently best man at a friend's wedding. They decided to book a professional photographer who was dual-wielding Sony A7R IV's and very expensive glass.....I was there as a guest, but decided to bring my X-T5 with the mini TTartisan 35mm f1.4 manual lens for fun. - - When the photographer finally sent his shots (almost a month after the wedding) the bride cried for how badly he'd missed the mark....meanwhile they loved my X-T5 shots and have used them not just for social media but also large format prints. - - I'm not saying the Fuji is superior....but it definitely isn't inferior....Don't worry about gear, just learn your damn craft and use equipment you truly enjoy.
Thank you Gonzales, I love your work and your generosity in sharing other photographers work. Keep the good work .
thank you for checking it out. head over to the channel and see if anything speaks to you!
The Z8 images are superb, Phil’s images are stellar. Could it be the gear is less important than the skill of the photographer?
thank you so much!
Robin Wong, who is a youtuber, uses the Olympus Em1 mk2 and mk3 for wedding shoots. The photos look great. It is a MFT camera. Even smaller than apsc.
This was another GREAT video, Omar. I learned about Phil Porto for the 1st time today. Love it!! Great interview!
thank you for checking it out. head over to the channel and see if anything speaks to you!
I think this might be the most informative video you have ever done! As a newer photographer listening to both of you describe finding your inner style and voice that comes through in your photographs was definitely my favorite part. Subscribed to Phils page and I will be purchasing his presets since I also have a more mature feel to my images and tend to utilize darker colors and more shadows in my end results. Thanks again Omar.
thank you for checking it out. head over to the channel and see if anything speaks to you!
Thank you Omar, and yes I have been following Phil Porto, great photographer !! minute 12.34 ish , which zoom lens does Phil use? , have a nice day
Love this, as it's so true. We picked our wedding photographer based on his portfolio, not on what he turned up with on the day (Nikon BTW). So long as you can deliver the results, that's all that matters. Get the gear that works for you, and most importantly, as mentioned here, LEARN how to use it, and LEARN its limitations/weaknesses so you can work around them. That's far more important/valuable than thinking buying a different camera will automatically get you 'better'/different results. It might do, but more than likely won't.
Thank you for the video. Phil says inspiring things, I like it. I've subscribed to his channel, and I'm also partly a Fuji guy.
Awesome video! Learnt so much. Thank you so much guys for everything you’re both doing. Left inspired ❤
Really appreciated your gust making the point that we should not chase the latest, greatest gear all the time and to remember that a lot of the YT photogs get sent the gear for free.
yeah... working so hard to then just spending the $ on stuff you dont need, counter productive.
Omar - WOW!!!! One of the best interactive discussions I've every seen on TH-cam - always enjoy your videos, but this one was way out there as and cool man....
This was fun 🎉
I think I came across both your channels just before jumping onto the Fujifilm train.
Excited about the podcast
thanks so much for watching!
Omar I just saw ur jc tonnelle ave shoot! I didn’t know you a local! I got into Fuji cause of you and now Porto also! Thank you guys
What lighting setup do you use for your receptions?
Subscribed to Phil. I have a Fuji X100T, love it, thank you both.
I really did try to use a XT2 and XT3 paired with a 23mm, 56mm, and the 50-140mm for weddings. While it worked....I just couldn't stay with it vs. Canon's mirrorless offerings. I decided to try Fujifilm but vs. the R5/R6II with their EXCELLENT glass, or the Sony A7IV, it's just night and day for me. The one wedding I did with Fuji again worked fine but personally the features and quality is just better elsewhere. (I do almost zero video so video considerations don't matter as much to me)
yeah, everyones different for sure
Depends on your needs and philosophy. I left Canon and the 3000€ lenses for an XT5 and a 56 1.2. Quality is lower if you pixel peep!!! But if you don’t, you can have beautiful results with 1/3 of the price, weight and size.
@@patlezinc I was with Nikon(D850) and did something similar, trimming down to the XT2 and XT3 with 3-4 lenses for a fraction of the price, and banked the money I got from selling the Nikon stuff. I agree that Fujifilm results are passable and most clients simply won't care or notice the difference...but for me personally I just couldn't handle the downgrade. Not only in quality but in usability and features.
Now since coming into Canon gear with all of the eye tracking, focus speed, and other stuff they have in these bodies, I can't imagine not using any of it. I still use my Fuji stuff for casual outings and such when I don't want to lug around a heavy set up but for professional work the Canon R stuff is just so pleasant to use.
What I will say about the R5 specifically is that the quality of some photos is almost TOO good, in that it's going to pick up every tiny detail on someone's face which can sometimes be a bad thing. I noticed with Fuji I didn't need to do as much work on skin in post since it didn't pick up as many flaws lol.
@@DCAMM720 XT5 is pretty responsive (eye AF and such, and the 40Mp sensor is very good. Gap is closer now. I has the 85 RF1.2. Optic perfection. But it is not the line of Fuji. They can probably reach the same perf, but with the same weight (1200grs!) and I don’t want this anymore 😉
@@patlezinc I did test the XT5 a month or so ago and they are still leagues away from reaching anything resembling the performance of Canon or Sony. Which is fine, they're in a different market technically. I'll probably trade in my 2 and 3 for the 5 for vacations and such, still a nice little body.
At 7:19, you asked about AF-C versus AF-S, but Phil seemed to answer about burst shooting versus non-burst shooting. Not sure if you realized that, Omar. But I think this demonstrates the need for very clear and precise language when discussing photography, particularly the technical aspects. Otherwise it leads to a lot of confusion, even between very experienced photographers. In any case, thanks for another good video. I was already subscribed to Phil's channel. :)
That was an interesting discussion. Light and fun but still hitting good points. I've shot with Nikon DSLRs most of my career and about two years back, switched to Olympus. Living on one of the most lush tropical islands in the Caribbean I like to show off the vibrant colours so I'd say my style is closer to Omar's, and Olympus gives me that. But I've recently started experimenting with giving a handful of pictures muted edits to sort of break things up and it's being received really well. Maybe one day Omar will get me on his show for a similar discussion😅😂. Til then keep bringing the edutainment Omar!!
Wow, thanks Omar, I love you guys and your images. I will follow and promote Phil Porto - a great unrecognized talent.
Phil, you're great to listen to. I'm planning to get into wedding photography with my Fuji. Greetings from Poland
Wow wow wow, these shots are just gorgeous on the FujiFilm!!! Loved this vid so so much!
Was wondering which Zoom lens Phil used for ceremonies. He mentioned he had one on him but didn't mention which one.. Great interview by the way!
There was a time when all I had was a Canon M50 after having issues with a Canon 7D, later moving to the full frame R series and still a struggle with noise. Then, like many Fuji converts, I stumbled upon Fujifilm and sold all of my Canon gear. Like others noted, its how you shoot, direct, and handle the events of our lives. Timing.
I currently use an XH2, XT4 and XE4, mostly with one camera though, but having a second nearby. I will sometimes have a second lens in my pocket because if a different effect might work, changing the lens is quicker for me than changing the camera. But I try to get the most out of whats in my hand because its what I knew would work ahead of time.
Some of the best wedding photos I got were using a X-T1. Since the auto-focus is marginal it does take more attention (vs something like your Nikon or a modern Canon which just nails focus). That said- the IBIS of the X-T4 and X-T5 allows you to more easily shoot with non stabilized primes in lower light where your shutter speed is lower. The face and eye tracking is also greatly improved in the newer XT models but still could use improving.
any ideas of what lenses should i get for my XT1 for weedings??
Really like the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 and 13mm f/1.4. Looking to get the 27mm too.
As someone who sold off my Sony a7rv with GM lenses and whatnot to stick to my xt5 and lineup of Fuji lenses, I cannot and have not once understood why anyone claims Fuji can’t be used for professional work. I’d agree this statement was maybe true 5 years ago but Fuji has more than caught up with the competition in everything a “pro” camera needs. Also, with the exception of Leica, Fuji color science is my favourite to work with when editing.
If I’m ever in such a low light situation shooting people that I’m struggling badly, the added stop of light from full frame isn’t going to save me. I’ll just use a flash. Crop factor isn’t an issue, want a 50mm? I’ll slap my 33mm on there. 85mm? My 56mm 1.2 impresses me more than my 50mm g master ever did, sure it’s not as sharp but that marginal difference is not what matters to people viewing an image, ever.
Also, with Fuji JPEGs being so incredible I often send customers a preview gallery the next day day of a small selection so they have something to look at while I process the full album. Most times they ask how I edited so fast since the shots straight out the camera are perfect for the average customer. It’s all about learning to use what you have, Fuji gang for life here 🤌
thank you for checking it out. head over to the channel and see if anything speaks to you!
Great video ❤️😄😄 love Phil's vibes!!! Just subbed!!
Why I like fx is that I can get closer to my subject, so even at f3.5 i can separate background and subject and have subject completely in focus with crop sensor I have to shoot more like f2.8 to have same separation because I'm further away from my subject to have same frame ... I use D700 still loving the dslr that works for me I love ovf.. but that's me... feel more everything with ovf
I shoot weddings on two X-T2’s and an X100T. I’ve been using them for years and I’ve shot over 800 weddings over the years. I just added an X-H2S last year also. I mainly use the f/2 lenses. I could deliver JPG files at the end of the night and walk away if I really wanted to. The raw files are just there just in case but 99% of the time, I could deliver SOOC jpg files and be done. The color accuracy is amazing.
Awesome guys. Loads of valuable info for a portrait photog. Subscribed will check the presets
thank you so much!
Absolutely fantastic!! Phil kept it real.
thank you for checking it out. head over to the channel and see if anything speaks to you!
8:34 You’re welcome!
Also, Phil is great, fantastic educator and photographer! Thanks for bringing him on!
thank you so much!
@@philporto nah, thank YOU! The world is a better place for having people like you and Omar in it!
I've shot a few weddings with Olympus M1 II. No big deal, no fuzz. Beautiful photos and prints in the end. :) (Up to) 60fps raw is quite handy at specific moments.
Now I have a Fujifilm GFX 100s, and will definitely do my best to do the more special wedding photos with it. Can't wait!
Hi Omar. Thanks for your candor regarding the problems with Fujifilm AF. Did you find Firmware v.7 to fix any of the issues you were having? I hear that the major issues are with Fuji's AF Tracking. I assume the Fuji AF problems were substantial enough that you resorted to a Nikon to get your work done.
Very good interview! Even though I don't shoot weddings the way you both approach the topic is really fresh. On the same line I suggest an interview with Kevin Mullins X-photographer from England. Good work Omar, greetings from Mexico!
thanks for the video. Omar, que difusor utilizas en el flash que usas sobre tu camara?
That was fun! Really liked the style, loved your interaction with Phil.
thanks so much!
I’m a new guy to photography, have an XT5, and just like taking pictures as a retirement hobby. I thought the interview was awesome because I was gettting two viewpoints on photography. I don’t plan on doing weddings, but do appreciate all the info.
thanks so much. Head over to the channel and see if anything helps your journey!
Kevin Mullins , John branch awesome Fuji wedding photographers.🎉🎉
Subscribed to Phil!🎉🎉
Great conversation - for second I thought you were gonna dance talking about Phill on the dance floor 😝😝. I’ve been a follower of Phil’s for a min. I just got onto your podcast 👍🏽.
Always enjoy your content.
Phil Porto and John Branch are the GOAT Fuji wedding photographers :D
@kevin_mullins ...another GOAT who shoots weddings with Fujis
@@dave11a82 Yes, I love his work too! His preset pack is brilliant.
@@dave11a82 def. hes an OG
thank you so so much!
@@philporto Thank you for sharing your excellent work!
For decades, I shot weddings with 6x6 and 6x7cm medium format film cameras. I rarely used small format film cameras for weddings.
In the digital era, I tried shooting weddings with micro 4/3 photo equipment. The image quality was good, but the bodies broke too often for me to depend on them for professional work.
I tried Fuji APS-C and Leica full-frame digital for weddings. The image quality was good, but the Leica broke too often for me to depend on them for professional work.
"Knowing who you are as the photographer is the key" - this phrase enlightened me!
thank you for watching!
Very nice interview, really fun listening! I don't do photography for work, but did a baptism photoshoot for some friends, with an X-S10 and 16-80 F4, indoors, no flash...yeah the AF is not perfect, but I managed some more than decent photos. Even I was surprised when I saw them, before editing. So I would say that, even in event photography, the best camera is the one you have. Of course there will always be something with better AF, resolution etc....but it's totally possible to get good results with something older or something which is/was not a high-end model. Good light and remember to not forget the fun in shooting!
Yes. I know there are people who can have the best new gear and still produce lower quality then some with a point and shoot. Knowing your gear, your light, and who you are makes such a difference
The X-S10 is an under appreciated little gem. Same sensor as the X-T3, with a better grip and lighter body. I use mine for a lighter real estate video setup and am getting smoother footage than ever.
Hey you two! Thank you very much for your refreshing interview. I think there are too few of these as they show that you can get to your destination in different ways. And thanks for the confirmation that you don't always have to upgrade your equipment to the latest! I have the Fuji X-T30 and have been happy with my three zoom lenses during my many travels. Now I'm trying more portraits and thanks to Omar I bought the fx 35mm 2.0 and I'm really looking forward to trying out a new style :)
And Phil your photography style is great. I would have booked you for my wedding in a heartbeat!❤
wow! I’ve never been a fan of wedding photography as a landscape guy but Phil might of changed that for me. What a great amount of creativity in his work!
wow that is such an honor to read. thank you for checking it out. head over to the channel and see if anything speaks to you!
I spent like 4 years shooting with fujifilm but switched back to Nikon because during that time I got many complaints from my clients addressing poor technical quality in the photos I delivered, specially in low light. I tend to force the ISO on any camera regardless if it is Fuji or Nikon because I love natural lighting. My conclusion is that you can use Fuji for weddings but just not for ISOs above 2500 or 3200
Nowadays with AI and lightroom you can really remove noise produced by high ISOs. Either way, that's why I use Sony, they are really good at low light situations.
Yeah, Fuji's a brand that asks for good exposure technique. If you need a more forgivable camera (about exposure), Sony's your brand.
@@vitorg.delduque367 yes, if you need a camera for all kind of lighting situations sony is your cam.
With dxo pure raw you can go up to 12800... Easy
Yah... Iso is a problem with all cameras really.
Just subscribed to Phil's channel. Very interesting POV about style. It is not (only) the gear!
Went to a wedding in Philly last weekend as a guest and only had my 'noir' X-T2 with 27 and 18-55 with me. Was able to get a few grrrrrreat images both inside and outside. As a little bit more as an amateur.
Thanks Omar for this topic!
thank you so so much for the sub!
I‘m not a professional , bought the XT4 two years ago. I‘d find it useful what is the problem with a Fuji in the first place ? Is it only the mirrorless? 🤷🏻♂️
Very nice conversation! I hope to see more!
thanks for watching
This is great. I rarely watch/listen to these kinds of conversations and this was entertaining. I thought I was a portrait and wedding photographer. Turns out I’m a concert and event photographer. Haha keep it up guys! Got me subscribed!
When the xt4 came out, one of the first channels I found was pal2tech, classic Polly, Phil Porto and of course Omar! Great job on helping to amplify other awesome Fuji creators!!❤❤
I don’t know Classic Polly but yes the sale for me + John Branch and Reggie Ballesteros
thank you so so much.
love me some Reggie and John
Thanks Omar! Just subscribed to @philporto Supercool vid.
Phil is incredible, his colours and editing are magnificent.
Agreeeeeed.
truly appreciate the kind words.
My boy Phil! This dude made me switch to Fuji!
i love you bro!
Ive just gone back to the old XH 1 im a jpeg shooter too, and just love them
This is the first time I got to watch Phil, and I'm sort of late - I like his style!! Soo, byee! Hehe, just kidding - I'll keep sticking around here. Thank you guys!
I just discovered last week Phils Channel because I was researching about the 18mm 1.4 (and then bought it) and no seeing he here :D I loved this :)
Great interview! Still shooting with D7100 and d610. all types of events. I only need one focus point 99% of the time.
Great interview - subscribed to Phil for sure !
you have great photos @philporto, i shoot wedding on an apsc camera, old school Nikon D80 (10 megapixel) and Nikon D700 (full frame but only 12 megapixel)
That was fun! Thank you, Omar. You’re one decent and intelligent human being. Love your stuff! 🙏
thank you for checking it out. head over to the channel and see if anything speaks to you!
Both are great people and great photographers! Thanks for the interview, Omar!
thanks so much for the kind words!
Those first wedding photos were amazing, what lens did you use for those?
Ty for this video. Amazing interview and guest.
I've got a Fuji XT4 and to be honest, it's far from intuitive. I love the color from the Fuji, but end up using my Sony A7ii. A lot simpler to get that special shot. Any recommendations appreciated as I want to love the XT4 but we are in a difficult relationship!
Nice interview . Phil Porto is great photographer and has a lot to offer as far as talent and insight. Thank you , Omar.
We have Fujifilm , Sony and Canon system and I'm Fuji Ambassador ( India ) . Fuji is amazing for wedding work. I'm not saying it is the best system or better than other systems. It's as good as any other brand for any kind of work.
thats awesome to meet a Fuji Ambassador from India.
@@philporto Nice to meet you too dear friend 🙂
What a high energy informative video - excellent! Phil: are the Motivator Fuji presets on your website similar to many of the images/color grading that you showed in this interview?
I’ve shot 14 weddings on Fuji. I love Phil Porto!
Joy to see both of you CollaborArt
One of the most informative and interesting photography convos I've heard in a long time. Thanks to both of u guys❤.
thank you for checking it out. head over to the channel and see if anything speaks to you!
Omar how long have you been shooting and when did you go professional. I only ask because early D-slrs were all crop
Phil's indoor shots look so sophisticated, with gorgeous colours.
wow thank you. for real, means a lot to me! head over to the channel and see if anything speaks to you!
There is a very big reason why I switched from Fuji GFX to Hass X series - shutter sync
Great video, great conversation and of course great photographers.
I agree with the idea that a good definition for a modern professional camera is any camera that can hold two sd cards to backup photos in case of card failure. Everything else is style and function preferences.
