Amazing Alex. One thing that stuck out for me was your saying how you wanted all your images to be timeless. I agree 100000%. So glad your back on TH-cam!
Really enjoyed this one and looking forward to testing out your new bag Alex. Let me know if you're ever in Hawaii and wanting to shoot, there are some epic spots here.
Man this 2-Episode serie was such a big inspiration for me, every sentence you've said meant a lot to me. I've just wanted to thank you for the great impact which you've made on me and the way i'm going to shoot photos in the future. 🤍🙏
Great video but that table you are using givs me anxiety haha, I dont see anywhere to rest your arms while editing and the chair is so low. I can sit for hours and edit and that table would never work, but hey thats just me =) Keep up the good work.
Alex, this is very helpful and inspiring! It's interesting to see the "behind the scenes" of your work. I have a question about exporting pictures for Instagram. So as I know, Instagram will compress images that are larger than 1080px. How can you save your images around 3-4000px and still have sharp images on Instagram?
Love it - Great series, thank you for sharing. - Can you just mention here the dimensions for outputting to Instagram? I was told that 4x5 with the bottom edge re sized to 1080.. is this correct?
Alex this is very inspiring, thankyou for the insights on how you think while photographing! Does your inspiration stay on automatically eventhough it is work for you? I often am slightly worried that if something you love becomes a work and means of living, it will kill your inspiration.
Alex, one of the best videos about photograohy for me, so inspiring! Makes me wanna go out and shoot something! Thanks a lot for both parts of these videos!
This was great. I love how humble you are, and you're one of few photographers out there at the moment that I genuinely feel tells a story through their photos. That's talent. Keep up the great work man!
That's the way I learned and I have more precision on PS. And to be transparent, PS is like a second check for me. Gives me a second space to see my image in and fix quirks i would have missed
Hello Alex! May I ask you about the size of the photo? If you crop it 4:5, why the width isn’t 1080? Image quality 100? Some say 76. And how about the resolution? 72,96,240,300 what’s the difference? Thank you
1080px wide wouldn't be enough for modern day social media. Most things are higher res like IG with 1600px wide. I've heard of this '76' quality but never saw any real difference so I'm sticking to 100. As for res I could export at 72 dpi yes but sometimes I run small size prints from my web saves so I'd rather keep camera-native 254dpi.
Very inspiring, thank you so much :) just one thing, aren't you losing some quality by uploading images with this resolution to Instagram? I've read that IG will compress every image to 1080 pixels of width (max being 1080x1350 for the 4x5 format) and you will always lose some quality in the process, which should make it advantageous to do the resizing on your own where you can control it and upload the smaller image which then stays the same after uploading... that's what I thought at least, does anyone have any better information about this? Anyways huge fan of your work! :)
Pongsakorn Thiangtrong hmm really? That's interesting, I usually get the image pretty much same as I export it... I also export on 76% quality which is a number some marketing people by trial and error determined to be the best for minimal quality loss when uploading... I don't know if it's this big of a difference though but it's something you can experiment with
Diam0ndt I was under the same impression from all the research I've done on the web. When I do it the way Alex shows in this video my file comes out like 6mb. In the past if I were to upload an image of that size it would look blocky on IG. Alex's photos are always clean and I've never noticed blockiness from IG compression. Am I missing something? Maybe IG has changed it's compression and it's no longer an issue?
Great mini series! I loved seeing the process, but even more your message at the end. Thanks for giving to the community and inspiring everyone to be true to themselves!
Great video Alex! Thank you so much! I'm curious, what settings (on ur 6D mk2 w/ 24mm 1.4) did u take the photos in (ie. Shutter/f-stop/ISO, etc) I'm tryna to learn more about photography & this would really help as a guide.. Thanks I'm advance!!
Super cool videos Alex! Really inspiring, I feel like you're helping me to get out and continuing to push forward, a big thanks for that! I would really love to come and shoot with you next time you come in the Pyrénées or in Basque Country, it would be a pleasure to meet you in person. Milesker, ikus arte!
"little piece of you in every image you make"🙌🏼
Amazing Alex. One thing that stuck out for me was your saying how you wanted all your images to be timeless. I agree 100000%. So glad your back on TH-cam!
Literally the only person I look up to in this photography game we're all a part of. Good stuff Alex!
Thanks brother
So good alex!
Love how little time you spend editing. I am kind of the same; if using too much time it’s not the perfect shot from that very moment.
After watching part 1, liked part 2 even before it started. You are brilliant!

"Shoot your own reality" That is such good advice
Wonderful to see your workflow. Thanks so much!
Great videos man. Question: why do you make those adjustments in PS when they can be done in LR saving you time?
Do you have your own presets?
Great video but that table you are using givs me anxiety haha, I dont see anywhere to rest your arms while editing and the chair is so low. I can sit for hours and edit and that table would never work, but hey thats just me =) Keep up the good work.
yes it was a temporary editing setup!
