how about if you can't afford a reflector right now. i am not getting my reflector until Septmeber and i have schedule shoots next week. i heard you can use a poster board. is that true?. will it have the same impact?. thanks for this tutorial!
ReplyDeleteCanon 70-200 f2.8 is sharp enough at 2.8...:) That softness comes from post processing.
ReplyDeleteHi there, have you heard about "PhotoSFXart" (google it)? There you will find a nice free video explaining the way to create better pictures. It made it easier for Daniel to take pictures that have that wow-effect any time you take a look at them. Perhaps it will work for you too.
ReplyDeleteIs that river down stream from a land fill?
ReplyDeleteDepth of Field and Lens effects.

where is this
ReplyDeleteHey, have you considered "MagicSFXphoto" (just do a Google search for it...)? There you can watch a nice free video featuring the right way to make fantastic photos. This made it possible for Matt to shoot pictures that leave you with that jaw-dropping-effect when you take a look at them. Hopefully it helps you as well.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Anyone with insurance and a brain will be fine. And yes assistants can make a world of difference, but sometimes they just aren't possible. Instead of saying "You should get one to protect yourself legally anyway", he should've shown techniques for using the location itself to bounce or getting artistic within the given contrast. This guy should NOT be teaching. And who wears loafers to an outdoor photo shoot?
ReplyDeleteTwo big things wrong here; On camera flash is never a professional tool, stupid comment. There are plenty of situations where OCF can give you some nice added fill or an artistic look, even in a studio. You also said get low to avoid burn out, but this also makes your subject look extra fat and if you have women, they will hate the portraits. Also, I never trust a photographer who dresses up for shoots, it tells me he's compensating for a basic image by trying to seem professional.
ReplyDeleteYour images look SO SOFT... why shoot wide open? Could've stopped it down a bit..
ReplyDeleteGirls are crazy. Period.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to agree. I hate to and hate to say it but it's wise. You may disagree but, things can and do happen.
ReplyDeleteAn assistant to protect yourself legally? What a sad thing to say!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget the color saturation, contrast, vignettes, etc.
ReplyDeletelet's be honest, we all clicked because we saw a got girl in short shorts!
ReplyDeletesad to say my skills are so much superior pics and angles. there're much better way to make do with lighting like tweaking the settings, etc. Long story
ReplyDeletewhy u used ISO 400 ??
ReplyDeleteJeff Smith has the most information you can actually learn from. Learn from his mastery, from controlling small lights setups in the studio & also learn from his vast experience of working with people who are over weight and the thin kind. He runs a studio where his customers are normal everyday people.This video presentation like most video presentations shows what can be achived. His books have given me keystone information that will be the basis of all my portrait & full length pictures.
ReplyDeleteGood info! Looks like you're at Woodward Park
ReplyDeleteGreat video! When you mentioned the TTL flash you stated its used to fill shadows. So is it not okay to use the Speedlite TTL during the shoots that are in sunny bright areas with no trees. For instance is it okay to use Speedlite TTL flash mode for a beach photo shoot?
ReplyDeleteGreat shooting my friend the girls look great:)
ReplyDeleteHey jeff do you think as a photographerI should even bother getting external flash for my dlsr? or should I just light my environment another way always?
ReplyDeleteThe thing you need to know is that a RAW picture isn't compressed, which means that the photograph that you took still contains all the information. And because the photograph still contains all the information you have way more options in editing the photo afterwards without losing any quality to your picture. A JPEG is a compressed format and you don't have a lot of options when you edit it afterwards. You'll directly see loss of quality in your picture...
ReplyDeleteummm not putting replys up
ReplyDeleteShe has sexy legs :)
