massive respect to photographers who are willing to share info and teach people! Cheers Nick.
How do you back light like that without getting the subject in silhouette? thanks! great video
i got ya haha, great photos though, i want to shoot a wedding one day, im making a wedding video with a friend of mine, but i enjoy taking photos more than videos
haha thats what I thought as soon as I heard that. Hopefully that was just from the nerves of making the video. I know I’ve made silly mistakes like that when a video camera is in front of me. Also, not sure why you would use f/8 in that situation? Why would you want the details in the leaves outside the window? Sounds like he just shot in auto and then read off the metadata… Hopefully I’m wrong.
Thank you for your creative ideas and all the information – great advice.
Nice!
Place the bride and the dress in front of a window..Bam!
Yeah, I know. It is just funny how you can miss something, then when you see it… you cant see anything else. 😀
Not complaining about your style. Not even a little bit!
If I lived closer I would offer to assist for free, just to learn from you in person!
😀
you can retouch the leg
Really liked the pic with the bride/groom under the arch. Loved the lighting…
And then…. I noticed the leg of the light stand. Now I cant see anything else!
Drats!
He’s the spit isn’t he?! It’s not him though cos he didn’t mention Percy Pepper or Suzi Salt.
Nice shots, but that AC unit in front of the window kills that photo. Pinning the curtains at the bottom would have hidden it and you could have gotten artsy with the shot. Or at least drape something over the unit. I’m not going to suggest cropping it out because we all know that defeats the purpose of the shot in the first place. Anyway interesting work looks like you have fun.
utilize till the cows come home. i love it
yes, I can finally see it there, thank you
sloppy mistake!
can you see videos on our site, we use a different video player? just click on the link in video description. Let me know
Dear @LearnMyShot , due to some really stupid regulations here in Germany, videos with music are sometimes blocked for me to view. Could you maybe try not to use any background music? Because I would really love to see the video after this for instance. At the moment I can’t.
I love your tips, thank you
actually thought this was ainsley harriott the chef for a second. that would have been weird….
Thats cool !! Check out my videos for amazing products
Generally these shots are done before reception starts, often during cocktail hour. DJ crew is generally testing their rig at that time. and if you ask nicely they should be happy to assist you. Or you can see there the light is falling and position your subject in a proper spot. This is not something to be used at every event. but something it might be fun to take advantage of ,when the opportunity comes.
how can i put the dj light behind the light?????????????
teaching is not a profession it’s a passion; How to make effective presentation!?
I like the style.
