This is the first time I heard that the photographer is doing this from scratch...I always thought that you go and there they are, waiting for you on a perfect background on a perfect light and you just snap it :D
Oh really? Sometimes people hire assistance to do it but I've never seen it just setup. Usually the photographer is the one putting it together.
2:02 DANG. Those flatlays are GORGEOUS and speak for themselves. I paused the video to just look at them for a moment. So good. They’re works of art in themselves. Very impressive, John!
Have you ever heard of this: Never put shoes in the same flat lay as the invitation. 😳 I never knew about this until recently. Apparently it's a big no no with the stationary designers. I've been photographing weddings for a really long time. I've done well over 700 weddings and events. I just learned about this recently from a photographer in my group who took a flat lay class. 😮
WOW. I haven't heard that before. I will say it kind of makes sense. What I have seen a lot of is people separating the elements. So just the invitations, just the jewelry, just the shoes. But some of those flat lays just seem so boring and empty to me. Thanks for sharing I'll have to look into that myself.
@@jbivphotographyI almost didn't say anything because I didn't want to be the bummer in the comments. But honestly, we've all done it! I am glad I learned this little random tip. Still though, I hesitated to say anything on your beautiful video! Thank you for posting. I've been looking at those flat lay mats, the exact one you mentioned! I hope they DO sponsor your videos!! 🥰
Why not?
I Recently shot a wedding where one of the stationery vendors was getting married (she supplies invitation cards) and the first thing she told me during the brief is that she didn't want her wedding cards in the same frame as her shoes. That's the first time I experienced that as well
@@alexnganduIsn't that interesting??
Amazing video! the details of flat lays really make them stand out more. It really is an art
Thanks a bunch. I really do enjoy the details on flat lays. It makes such a big difference if you can add them in.
You can also use the ring box as a riser !
True. Especially if it’s not a good looking ring box.
Thank you so much for the information. It’s been very helpful. I’m definitely thinking about taking one of your classes.
That's awesome to hear! Glad to help out.
This is really useful advice, especially about the risers
That’s awesome to hear. Glad this was helpful.
Awesomes!!
Thanks a bunch! Glad you enjoyed the video.
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching. I hope this was helpful!
I've used lens caps before instead of risers.
Yep yep. Good tip. I don't bring lens caps with me to weddings so my wallet is the best 2nd option I have.
@@jbivphotographyinteresting, how come? My guess is because they get annoying to deal with
@@kenuwhoknew Yeah. They take forever to deal with and get int the way if I want to switch a lens quickly. Sometimes I even take off toe bottom cap and have no caps on my lenses at all for ultimate speed
John, I'm on the website. Which version of the flat lay is it that you have? Fabric?
I have the hand painted flatlay mats
@@jbivphotography sweet. Thanks for letting me know.
Hey John - this may be my mistake but I was looking for the flat lay mat link in the description but it’s not popping up for me - may you also link it in the comments? Thanks!
Nope that was my fault. The links are in there now. Thanks for pointing that out. 🙌
Wow GFX 100 II, so you upgraded from the XT.
Not fully upgraded. I still mainly use the X-T5's but sometimes I'll use the 100 II alongside a single X-T5. The GFX 100 II is just SOOO good. I've honestly debated using only the GFX.
@@jbivphotography I use GFX 100s, but I don't have a second camera and I was thinking to add the XT-5 in time. For concerts.
But I use the 80mm, 45mm, 23mm and 45-100mm, and even the 250mm so... A lot of lenses and I don't know yet how I would combine them.
I guess I could do weddings, with just one camera. I would use only the 45mm 2.8 and the 80mm 1.7
I don’t have a macro lens what extension can I get for my Nikon d750?
I'm not familiar with the specific lenses for Nikon but I'm sure if you searched Nikon extension tube you may be able to find one. I'm not sure if they made one but I would assume they did.
Why does fujifilm raw images never look crisp and clean like other raw images from even crop sensors? Fuji raws always break apart
I think it’s Lightroom itself. You really have to know how to work with the RAW files. Capture One tends to work with Fujifilm files better.
