    Jessica you have single handedly inspired me to learn photography. I admire how you have evolved in such a small period of time. You are a lovely person I think,because you share your craft so freely for other people's benefit. Thanks for inspiring so many of us.

    Jessica, just started watching your videos today. It's encouraging to watch someone who had the drive to be self taught and go for what they want. I took photography back in high school and have just recently been itching to get back into it. Watching your videos is stoking that fire again. So Thank you. Currently I have a canon rebel xsi (I know it's an older model).

    The depressed look is in and really popular.
    This should say something about our culture and how the people feel. People like what they can relate to (just saying).

    • @ajs6036
      @ajs6036 8 лет назад +50

      +Michael Hartman No. For portraiture it just looks better. If the model smiled like in a group photo it doesn't give the picture any redeeming art qualities. The "depressed" look, as jessica calls it, gives the viewer a sense of wonder and mystery. Smiling is just smiling, plain and defeats the purpose of portraiture.

    • @jayj1268
      @jayj1268 6 лет назад +3

      True lol. The whole moody look is in right now. Smiles are typically edited bright and vividly saturated. Photography is a mean for interpretation.
      For Alec, a smile can say a story though. Why are they smiling, what got them smiling, etc.

    • @kiricamel
      @kiricamel 3 года назад

      @S Tra OP is not wrong though... even if numberwise it hasn't changed (which i have not researched but you might have?- regarding your comment)..it still SEEMS like more people are depressed (or saying they are depressed) because more people are talking about it since it's not a taboo topic anymore. It seems to be in focus a lot and also it seems like it has triggered a trend where young people might feel more likable and trendy if they are not happy and smiling in their pictures. (It's not that we're not allowed to smile like in the beginnings of photography) it's just not 'cool' anymore to smile. That alone for me points to society getting more sad/ hopeless over the last century. Sadness can only be a trend if people are sad.

  • @Ladywrip
    @Ladywrip 7 лет назад +1

    Wow! Thanks for all the great tips! I would have neeeeever thought to try that "hand over the face trick" (to see where the sunlight cast shadows on your subject)... it seems like such a common thing to do when shooting outdoor portraits, but being a beginner I would have never thought of this on my own. Thank you so much, Jess!

When you're doing portrait sessions, do you usually keep you shutter speed and ISO consistent throughout? Also- what lens do you recommend for starting portrait photography with for beginners?

    Hopefully our paths will cross...
