Highly recommend Paulie B mate. Real honest interviews with some incredible photographers that’s all about the art. No pushing courses or selling toys!
Wow, such a great video from Greg. Straight talk, no fancy accessories or equipment, just a camera he knows and loves plus a couple of lenses and an iPhone, working with his subject to co-create and boom, achieved an overnight success (that took him around 45 years of perfecting his craft). Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us I such a simple and unpretentious way Greg, really enjoyed this video!
10/10 🎥🎬🇮🇹👍🏼👍🏼 I came to NYC in 2003 & did fashion advertising in that brilliant city professionally for 15 years straight before leaving to move to making films .. everything Greg is saying in this segment is DEAD ON TRUE. WOW ! What a guy ! Go Greg for staying true to the ART & not getting lost. Brilliant.
I really, really enjoyed your post, Greg. I'm glad that there is someone else in the world who had a terrible time in school but was a very good, young photographer! It paid off!! Keep more videos coming! Joe
Loved this Greg! More of this type of thing would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼. Or maybe a video showing an entire shoot start to finish( actually editing) would be good. You’re a HUGE inspiration, you take the best pictures without all the usual photography bullshit!!
Bravo Greg! Your work is beautiful and I’ve got to say - your G GRIP is by far the best camera accessory for an iPhone. I’ve tried many of the others and they don’t even come close to the G Grip!
Such a honor, Greg on TH-cam! I notice couple of people ask about the focusing method he uses, and since he said 1.7-2 meters, I’ll assume he’s manually set up focus. But still is going to be very helpful if this question is answered by Greg. Also common guys, should the video on the SL 2, not on Greg’s daughter iPhone 12 🤭!
I just enrolled in your courses and so far I really feel good about the decision. There are ingredients that make a great photo that go far beyond any technical aspect and hearing those is like gems. Thanks a lot
@@fletchchannel770 well so far I’m just doing the candid one but for that one I think so. There’s not hours and hours but what’s there is really valuable and I think I like that better
Nice to see that you are commited to 28mm and q3. Lot of your photos are BW, I wonder what are your thoughts of Leica monochrome series? I use q2 mono every day for last year for BTS shots on corporate photo/video sessions, and materials are very well accepted. Im thinking of second M monochrome body with 50 or 75mm. Your explanation on distance for portraits and full body is very helpfull. Speed for me is crucial, since Im doing classic colour headshots at the same time. Thank you for great tips and content!!
Loved it! I got your Photo Breakdowns book to prepare for a photo shooting with Armand Assante and it helped a lot! I don't think I could have gotten the results I got and this helped my career and self confidence greatly! Thank you!
Absolutely love your work, It was an honour to do a review video for the G-Grip last year, definitely need to do an updated version as I have used it everyday since for all phone photography and people need to be aware of the power that thing has when paired with a S23 Ultra! your art is incredible and what an accomplishment to work with the big leagues!
the Godox Junior is a good alternative to the FUJI EF-X20. Uses the same two AAA batteries. And it does have a simple Auto mode - if you fix your Aperture and Iso to F2.8 IS0100 (or its equivalent exposure - i.e. Iso400 at F5.6)
Is there any chance your assistant could share his workflow and tips? I did your professional photography course which led me to finishing a masters degree in photography. I would like to see more of the editing process and the technical aspects of your great photos. Cheers!
I was able to buy a cherry Fujifilm EF-X20. I'm hearing from folks that it's Very Slow. I believe they mean in terms of recyclings. How are YOU able to work with a slow flash?!
Great video, thank you very much! Unfortunately my question didn’t make it. Maybe here in the comment section. I own a Q3 myself, and would be really interested in which focus mode you’re using for your pictures and shootings. I transferred from Canon a couple of months ago, and kind of struggle with that change.
LOVE your Book, and in fact ordered another copy for my photographer son. You talk about a "tiny" Fuji Flash. The only one I know of, the EF-X8, does not fire on my Leica Q3, or Q2. Kindly tell us which flash works? Thanks ... learned a Lot from your book! I tend to always shoot wide open with my Q's ... good to learn that you DON'T! :-)
Saying a leica is the best camera is a wild take. Maybe in the film days they were. And I'll give that the lenses are insanely good, but the bodies are not the best
I'm not saying that a Leica is the best camera, but have you ever tried a SL2 or SL2S with one of the APO primes? The image quality is so crisp and clean, it is unreal. They also handle extremely well, with buttons in the right places and a grip that feels secure and comfortable, despite the weight.
I beg to differ about the iPhone being better than any other camera in the price range. iPhones are like $1500, you can literally buy a super good setup for a REAL camera at that price. I'm actually appalled that you would even say something like that. Phone have no depth of field, no swapable lenses, and the zoom is all digital. You, in all your condescending glory, have steered people completely wrong with that comment. Imagine if you will, trying to explain to somebody how to properly frame a photo when they're used to framing in a device that makes everything sharp foreground and background. You might as well have said that people should get a GoPro instead of a real camera. This advice is laughable at best.
Ggrip is great. I take a lot of photos when out with the dogs. 2 leashes in one hand, iPhone in the other. So much easier with the ggrip attachment. Excellent design. @gooddogsnyc
Alan Schaller and now Greg uploading regularly is the best thing for people like me who live and breathe photography whenever time allows it.
Highly recommend Paulie B mate. Real honest interviews with some incredible photographers that’s all about the art. No pushing courses or selling toys!
@@chrisjparkinson Thank you for the recommendation! Will check him out.
100%… and lovely thing they aren’t doing gear reviews lol
Wow, such a great video from Greg.

Really enjoying listening to a great pro photographer who isn’t up their own arse or obsessed with gear and technical rabbit holes 👍
I'm OBSESSED. Just bought your candid course. Thank you
Thanks Greg, it's a pleasure to see this type of content.

Refreshing 🙏🏽
Also British, also not in England, also making a living doing this, nice to watch looking forward to the next one
hahahaha " YOU FINISH THAT, LOVE?" lmao
Thanks for the response, Greg! Very helpful! 🙏🏽Take care !
You're an absolute inspiration Greg! Looking forward to many many other new videos 📷
Legend Greg. Love your charisma. Big inspiration to my photography. Thanks

did you find the course worth the money?

Thank you, Greg much respect!
i have the fuji flash and i didn't realise until this video how much they were going for haha!
I have the same flash too and I didn’t know this was the reason the price went up 😂 luckily I bought it for cheaper tho
I really love you work sir! You trully are an inspiration 🤝🏼🙌🏼
I actually bought a Konica Pop in a charity shop for £3! Used it loads during my university days
I like how you grabbed your assistant by the ear like a naughty dog.

Thank You Greg and You team :)
And ... what Mode and settings do you use the EF-X20 flash? Since it doesn't have TTL metering ?
Good job Greg !

Hello Greg Williams. Thank you for sharing. ♡♡♡
love this video thank you

Greg you are my hero 👍🏻
Some Leicas feel awkward to me due to lack of a grip. How do you navigate that? Thank you.

Ah ... the X20 ... :-(
If I'm going to spend $450 for that flash, used ... can I be assured it works on my Qs ... if the EF-X8 won't fire?
Solid
cool. nice work
17:20 "Feels and shoots like a (leica) camera" lol
Mark is not an 'assistant', he's a carer.
Does the G-grip. Works on s21ultra.
Have you ever played around with the Godox Lux Junior on your Leica q3 or q2?
Would you shoot film again if they brought back Kodachrome?
Saying a leica is the best camera is a wild take. Maybe in the film days they were. And I'll give that the lenses are insanely good, but the bodies are not the best

In the real world Sony are not even close don’t worry
Yes. A wild take.
Just say "FOR ME it's the best camera" and everybody can live with it.
@@jamesburne3893 Sony isn't even in the running
@@deathspawn54That’s a surprise!
With sweeping statements like that might’ve been good to name your choice ? Up to you no probs
fuji > leica 😝
If he could post more offend.
