7:08 looks really nice, I must admit, the facial expression of the model doesn't do it for me. Her expression kind of concerns and confuses me about taking the supplement, is she depressed in this photo, is that idea for her expression? She appears concerned and not totally at ease about taking the supplement. Nice work though. 7:43 too much plant for me, plus clone out the yellow spot on the plant.
So many different ways to photograph lifestyle imagery - great to hear how you’d do it
Great video as always man! As someone that aspires to prioritize lifestyle/apparel work over in-studio product work myself, I was wondering if you had any quick advice for cold email/proposal outreach- Do you typically use the same methods you've showcased before as if they were a Kickstarter/Amazon brand that would do in-studio photos for, or do you adjust your outreach methods a bit if you plan on it being a nature-light + model shoot? Hope that question makes sense!
Appreciate you Houston! Method is the same if I’m reaching to to companies (B2B). Pitch is adjusted to what I’m offering
Super helpful content as always! I noticed that on your website you provide your clients with project tracking. I know you offer mood boards and a gallery too. Are these all through a CRM?
I use a CRM on the backend for me and my team. For project tracking, it’s just a notion property I created. Simple but it works
@@ChrisPieta Awesome!
the colors of everything from model's outfit, products, to location just comes together so well
It's so satisfying when everything clicks!
I love this so much. You are great at explaining your process. This video made me feel way more confident on life style photography. Thank you.
Courtney - that makes me so happy to hear!
Great and helpful video ;-) QUESTION: May I ask why you use continuous light for a shoot like this? Thanks in advance ;-)
Can you help with a reply? Thanks in advance ;-)
Thank you so much Chris! Helpful and informative tutorial! God bless and good luck!
Perfectly choseen diverse models, beautiful. Great videos, thank you Chris!!
Bro, If you want to grow your channel faster you need to make more shorts, I literally saw it happen on another photographer's channel. You're content is way too good ! 👍
Appreciate the suggestion. It's a tough call to make. I've polled my audience and they don't want it right now. Shorts also give lower quality subscribers that are less invested in the long form content.
My Instagram is filled with shortform content that funnels people into this channel.
Might change my mind in a few months!
@@ChrisPietai found you via shorts !! Great content men!!
The old saying "a photograph is worth thousand words" applies here probably more than anywhere else. So yes, storytelling is really important!
That saying rings so true!
Great stuff buddy! However, don't beat yourself up so bad boss man. Earrings in the morning is my wife's go to at 7 AM so don't think morning and accessories with makeup for a woman is something that has to "improve". (She's already casually dressed in the morning ready to start her day and about to pop an MI pill in before work.). Put your mode in a nighty outfit THEN I would agree to the improving statement. This was freakin awesome!
My employer sells bedding soft goods and lifestyle shots of the products is a must. But they don't have the whole process of getting models or locations, it's all composited - I have yet to understand why that is.
I find this actual photography much more practical than compositing, because it saves me the trouble of scorching the Internet for the perfect image and then light match a product - even then, you can still be met with a "hmm, doesn't suit the product".
Seems like a pricing issue. An actual photoshoot tends to be much more expensive than composite images
@@ChrisPieta I suppose 🤔
mind if I ask how the budget is distributed? You said you hire models and look for locations, do you cover this cost beforehand or does the client give you the budget for it?
I forgot to thank you for the video, they have been very useful 🙌
@@swancoffeehouse5983 I pitch a project with a set price. They can add or remove photos depending on the budget they have
And times are changing! You can book with models of color, plus sized models which to most ppl models who aren't size 2 or size 0!
Where do you order your company shirts from? 😅
Custom Ink if I remember correctly
@@ChrisPieta which t shirt? They have different options
