It's wild how sometimes all it takes is a different explanation or a different point of view. I found myself thinking "wow, never thought of it that way". I'll be saving this video for reference. Thanks for posting it.
Thank you for the insight. What do you think about aspect ratio? Do you think it's pretty important to get the right ratio for the right feel? I tend to shoot in 16:9.
I actually have a lot of thoughts on aspect ratio! I was going to include a bonus tip about aspect ratio in the video, but at the time of recording felt the video was already getting long. I think 16x9 is a great all round ratio! My personal favorites though are; 4x3 and 21x9
Wardrobe is king here too… you should have worn pants or longer shorts! The way your leg shows from under the desk makes it seem like you’re not wearing anything. Little silly thought i had, no hate! Great video
I disagree on the blurry photos... it just shows how equipment failed to be used properly with intention and are instead a claimed excuse of 'cinematic'.
I disagree! The "blurry" effect is in this case very intentional. It might not be for you but a lot of people like the mood it creates. I would argue there's no way to use your equipment "wrong". If you get the results you want, you're using it right.
@@arvidruneson I think you need to first and foremost understand the fundamentals of photography regarded art. While the technical knowledge is hugely important but you must also strive to understand the intent of the artist who made an image before you review that image against technicalities. There are product photographs which from a technical standpoint are terrible if viewed against technical expectation or compliance because we will be quick to talk about diffraction, chromatic aberration and yet the Art Director who commissioned the job goes ahead to use those images for a worldwide campaign while we photographers will be busy haggling over non technical compliance of the image. So please let’s focus on the artistic rather than technical compliance.
At first I disagreed with the blurry images too. Then I read your comment. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels like you are very rigid in what you find "good". And I get it. But to play devils advocate.. When I teach new photographers one thing I like to pound home is that regardless of the subject that they are only truly photographing three things, Light, Shadow and Composition. And if done well, the image will be a success. And that might very well include a blurry and or out of focus image. I don't know how many times I flubbed on my focus and got a blurry image without meaning too but loved it because the light, shadow and composition were spot on.. it still worked. Not my intention, but still a keeper. All I am saying is I get you. There definitely are some poor souls out there that do these blurry images because they are unable to get it right, and call these accidents their "style". And that is frustrating. Especially when they seem to be applauded and esteemed for their "art". But... There is a place for these images in my book. And I hope that I have made some room in yours for them as well.
Great stuff to keep in mind. I like how you gave enough time for each nugget of wisdom and provided lots of examples without dwelling too long 🤘🏽
Thanks for the genuine explanation and advice, in a straightforward manner with examples no less. Much appreciated.
You’re welcome!! 🤝🏼

some great guidelines for making photos more interesting and story telling.
Great tips
Your work is awesome. Thank you for the video, I learned a lot, great ideas and inspiration.
So glad you enjoyed the video!
Great advice, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
This was a great video and very tangible information to put into action. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Actually, direction instead of posing is also key to taking really good portraits, because direction leaves the subject to use their own mimetics
This is so true. Came across to your channel and I love it. New subscriber in here.
Thank you so much! So happy to have you as part of the family 🥹🤝🏼
This is great! Keep up with videos. I also get tired of hearing the word “cinematic” but in this case, I do think it’s warranted.
appreciate you! Thank you so much 🤝🏼
Such a nice tips! Thank u
You’re welcome!!
Why would I want my photos to look cinematic? What is a cinematic look anyway?

Hahaha I noticed that the moment I started editing 😂💀 I did in fact have shorts on, but I guess they were camera shy
Is he not wearing anything? Wow
Unnecessary annoying music
