If you ever get a chance i would love to see a video about how you pick your locations to take pictures. You walk and find amazing spots effortlessly and would like to see your thought process on moving from one location to the next. As always I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!
That is on the list 👌🏾
Great stuff!! Super entertaining also.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I'm a new photographer still learning about natural light. I just did a wedding photoshoot where there were a bunch of harsh shadows on the couple's faces. It was a HUGE pain to photoshop. I'll know what to look out for next time!
Hey no problem. I have a bunch of wedding VLOGs on my channel and I’ll be doing more Natural Light Tutorials in the Spring/Summer of this year so stay tuned!
Loved your lighting comparison on the sidewalk!
Thanks

Wow your work is amazing. I have been looking for a good natural lighting video to help me learn and improve! Glad I found you!
Real quick. When you shoot these, what’s your WB and picture style (portrait, neutral, landscape, auto, etc)!
Thanks!!
Thank you very helpful . You are great !
AWESOME!
I always enjoy your behind the scenes videos- They inspire me to get out there and shoot!
+Ebeth Fielder Thanks homie!
love it
learnt some important stuff after watching this video, thank you very much :)
You’re very welcome!
Shooting for Instagram is similar to shooting for standard size prints. 5x7 8x10 Have to leave room at the top & bottom!
Very true.
dude, I said this 10:39 to my gf "nice and flat" she slapped me. lol. Great tips by the way!
I'm Vietnamese, thank you very much, your video very helpful !!!
+Alvin Nguyễn hey you are very welcome! Thanks
Great tips! You seem fun to work with too :)
+Sofia de Oliveira thanks hun. I try to have as much fun as I can on shoots.
Great tips
Thank you Rodolfo!
8:20 "A way outta no way" LOL!!!
Thanks. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
good job
Hey man amazing video great tips!! I was just wondering how do you make a living out of photography and how do you get your clients and how much do you get paid?
Great content. Keep it up!
Good stuff. Cute model :)
Thanks!
What metering did you use for this shoot, spot vs. center weighted, etc. I have found one or the other can drastically affect exposure.
Very nice video. For those watching and learning photography. Be mindful of the "dead arm" poses. They rarely look flattering in imagery. ;)
What are your favorite filters in the VSCO app? Loooove all of your work!
+lilangelwendie hey thanks love. My favorites that I am always drawn to are. A6 (Analog), B6 (Black and White), C3 (Chromatic). In these images I used the C3, but I toned it down a little and added some contrast and sharpness.
Always happy to find another black photographer! New subbie. I can tell I will learn a lot from your videos. lol I love how you do all the poses to show your model lol!
+Aleasha Love awe thanks love. And I mean that in the ❤️ way not your last name. Lol
nice tutorial theree
Nice
I am curious to know why you use live view when you have a D750 with loads of AF points with the OVF. Is your next camera a mirrorless?
Hey, thanks for your videos. I really enjoyed them as an amateur.
I got a Nikkon d5100 with 18-55 lens that I keep to 50 most of the time.
My question is: how your unedited Jpeg can look that great?
What setting do you use (except aperture, speed shutter and iso)
Many thanks
Hey thanks! I put the setting of the images right next to them on the left of the screen like @7:20. My camera's color profile is just set to standard if that makes any sense to you. But if you were in the exact same situation with the same lighting as me. Your images would look exactly just like mine. Knowing how to find the best light and getting proper exposure will give you the best results no matter what.
Thanks for your answer. Will work on my exposure and settings 😉
Another dope video. On your unedited shots are those jpegs out of the 750 at standard settings or RAW files?
+C.O. Jordan JPEGs at the standard settings.
No doubt. Keep doing ya thing! Your videos are fun to watch and as a beginner I've picked up a lot of useful tips from you. Much respect.
+C.O. Jordan thanks man! Also please do me a favor and share this or any video when possible to help spread awareness! Tryna get my views up!
As you should! I will definitely do so.
d800 vs d750 in 2018?
which would you suggest
Hey PhotoMeIke, do you use auto focus all the time? or do you use the centre focus point and focus, recompose and then shoot?
I do both. It just depends on the situation really. I either select the focus point via the control dial on the camera or i focus and recompose using the center focus point.
PhotoMeIke thank you so much for the quick reply appreciate all your advice! Thanks man and I followed you on Instagram just now ahah, been binge watching your videos. Thank you!!
Hey no problem!
Feel like I wanna be friends with this guy.
🙋🏾♂️ Party over here!
Question: when you shoot in front of business like you do in the first part of the video... Do you talk with someone or just go for it? Also, shooting inside a cafeteria (the typical window photo) have you tried it ?
+kanipeople21 sometimes. It depends on the place and how much of a production it is. But most of the time I just go for it. I just make it quick and try not to be a disturbance. No I haven't tried shooting in a cafeteria yet.
U just osm sir can u give d750 nikon settings please
First and foremost I love your pictures and your videos they have been so helpful for me as a beginning fashion photographer. I noticed that in your final pictures that you show they are all shot in JPEG. Why do you choose JPEG over RAW? Thanks for the videos and please keep them coming lol :)
+Kahlita Michelle hey thanks. I do shoot in RAW. But once you edit and export the photos they all end up in the JPEG format. But by shooting in RAW I get more flexibility and range when I edit the images. But to be more specific you maybe referring to my "unedited JPEG" images that I post. I post those because it would take me to long to edit the images for the video. So I just post the unedited ones instead. Lol

+Erica Fonseca hi!
Yo, you trippin the shutter with your middle finger! Never seen that before...not a bad thing...
do you take the walking shots on manual or auto focus?
+Patrick Cazer auto focus. I either do continuous auto or I do single shot auto. But it's all auto focus.
How do you get enough light shooting outside in shade (during golden hour) if you don't have a lens where you can open the aperture really far? I'm trying to do a shoot outside in front of a corporate building, to show a pair of slacks that I'm selling. I want to shoot out of direct sunlight, but I'm afraid it will be too dark because I don't have an expensive lens.
You should be fine even without an expensive lens. In the shade during golden hour. ISO 400 should provide you with plenty of light even at f4 or 5.6
Thanks!
What picture style do you used? its look like neutral or flat.
+khiem bang luu you mean on the video? I used neutral. If you are talking about the photos. That a totally different subject
Photomeike i mean on photo its look like u use neutral or flat picture style
Did u used kelivin are other any
what is the fstop that you normally like shooting at?
+Adeel Ansari as low as I can go on a lens. But I usually stay around @f2 cause sometimes I'm moving when I shoot and I want to make sure I don't botch up the focus to bad.
Photomeike fair point. one follow-up question when you look at your pictures on the laptop or the big screen do you notice a clear difference in sharpness compared to what you were looking at in the camera monitor and if so what do you do to try to compensate for this
in some photos i see u shot at F2, and 1/320th with 125 iso, wouldnt it been better if u shoot at F1.4 and a faster shutter speed since ur shooting natural light or else what is the point of havin a 1.4 lense that u will not use
Well in my opinion 320th was a fast enough shutter in the situation that I was in because I wasn't shooting any super fast moving objects. The reason for f2 was simple. I wanted a sharper picture aka more stuff in focus. There is a time and place for f1.4 and it wasn't there.
Thanks for your reply :)
no problem!
Jay from American's next top model
will be mad you stole his stroll walk.
😭😭😭
Do you only shoot jpeg?
Nope. I either shoot JPG & RAW or just RAW..
Phenomenal video. Thanks for posting.
Posing-Me-Ike new tittle.
😂😂😂
Ur account girl I also use Sony a6300 for videos
For md 2:30 looooOL
I want to ask why no flash
Because in this video i was focusing on shooting in Natural Light! Which is why i called it a Natural Light Tutorial
I enjoy this dudes videos 👍🏻
Thank you!
as a male photographer myself i've learned you gotta just go in on giving women posing tips ....lol aint no room to be manly or cool when its time to get the shot....sometimes i be like yo someone come take a picture of me! sheez lol im out here killing the angles
nice video..learn some new things...lol
that intro was a bit creepy tbh
Shes beautifull. But not photogenic🤐
Idk, I think for the most part they all came out really pretty just like her, there were a couple that look like resting bitch face, but honestly that's kinda in rn so maybe that was the point. (Not hatin bc I'm also cursed with resting b face as well lol)
She is just uncomfortable in front of the cameras she is not a model but he got her to laugh, which was excellent.
Bad photographer
+ a lot of free time = TH-camr
horrid composition
