[@rebeccastone4296]

PLEASE do more videos like this!! Your videos on tips are great, but watching you in action is where I learn the most. LOVE YOU JANA, keep on rockin' it girl!!

[@ganafbbyx]

I wish i can go back in time and have you as my wedding photographer. Your amazing Jana!

[@karikonkarikon6075]

The shoot itself is inspiring. The photos, not so much. I would have liked to have seen more of the pictures that we saw you take in the video.

[@taylorpoe7343]

This is SO HELPFUL! I never have been good at communicating the details without changing the mood. I will definitely be using your tips this weekend :)

[@chrisburger2467]

[@southbaycommuter]

Thank you for the excellent tips on directing a bride through poses, I look forward to applying this! One caveat though, male photographers should be extra careful, and ask permission before touching their female model. But otherwise, thank you for this excellent content!

[@cookie_devil7124]

This was a great video. I love the use of location, lighting, and hearing your wording when directing the bride is really helpful. Thanks Jana!

[@Monica-li9rs]

Wow, excellent video on bride posing.

[@punkfish495]

[@sbartlett0707]

Jana, I love this and I find it super helpful! I would really love to see something longer on posing bride/ bride and groom (ones that are awkward and not natural with the camera). I want to learn some more posing techniques, this video has been the best by far. THANKS.

[@HeidiLina]

Go on! You do awesome work and help so much :)

[@emilyyoung232]

[@cynthiagarza359]

You are so talented and so sweet! I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks!

[@alexandalycepiazza4562]

THIS IS AMAZING

[@katmceachern1909]

This video is fantastic Jana! Thanks for the tips. I do have a request. Could you do this same type of video for a bride wearing a wide poofy dress? I would be so appreciative.

[@Jerry-kg9pr]

Thank u so much Jana for sharing . 😇👍

[@mattsmall8914]

Jana you have some serious talent, enjoy watching your videos for tips ! But what about the groom, everyone forgets about us! lol ..

[@nerdlovecandy]

this is the best, thank you so much :D ♥

[@wildlovepursuit]

Lovely! :D

[@hshshsh9470]

So helpful! One of the best videos in a while(;
What I'd like to know: what does the groom do during the time you shoot the bride? Is he usually with you, watching, or do you do them separately?
Also, can you do a video on posing grooms? Thanks X

[@tianboliu6499]

Great posing tips. I wonder how accurate focus and recompose is when the subject was in motion considering that is a 1.2 lens.

[@pokieste]

Great tips! It would be nice to see each shot after each tip.

[@johnnymcleanvlogs]

That's cool

[@xIaN0730]

please share more photography Tips

[@johnnymcleanvlogs]

👌🏼📷

[@artlopez1311]

Jana, were u on aperture or manual mode ? Spot or centerweight mode ?

[@johnnymcleanvlogs]

Good take photo

[@tabett5258]

Hi great job , can u please tell us what parameters y worked with thanks

[@renegomez9237]

Jana, what kind of lens are you using in this shoot.

[@artlopez1311]

Jana, are u using backing button focusing and AI servo mode ? or just focusing and recompose ?

[@pfdcaw]

I would like to know that as well?

[@Kelseybeee]

It looked like she was using autofocus to focus on the face and recompose.

[@Clydesdale2045]

I shoot Nikon, in my experience the camera needs to be in continuous autofocus (that's what Nikon calls it, if Canon calls it AI servo mode... not a very user friendly name). In that mode the camera tracks the motion of the subject and will predict where it will be when the shutter is pressed assuming the subject continues to travel in the same direction/speed. It does a pretty good job of guessing where the subject will be when you press the shutter. The only other way, is some camera's can be set to manual focus but won't take a picture unless in focus. Then, you manually focus ahead of your subject, hold the shutter down, and have them walk towards you and the moment they walk into focus your camera will take the picture. Single focus and recompose doesn't work with moving subjects, particularly close ones unless using say F11+ but usually portraits you want F1.4-F5.6 and your only chance is typically continuous autofocus if the subject is moving towards/away from the camera.

[@AlanaLindenfeld]

are these ever done during an engagement shoot rather than the wedding?

[@precioust.photography4403]

Do you plan on having any more workshop?!

[@nessmolina6454]

what size lens were you using

[@TheDominicballard96]

50mm 1.2

[@tirupatichakri]

Hi Jana Williams, It Could be much better if you would have given the values with u have used like (Shutter speed, aperture and ISO...
I love your tips...thanks for the wonderful video...
