I would have picked Sal's except for that metal thingy on the ground being so distracting. Love the negative space in his shot. Yours is excellent too and I love the B&W treatment. Both excellent shots and I appreciate that you both used the same (old) gear.
When Sal directed her head sideways on the white wall I immediately said "YEAH!" I totally dig both shots. I love B&W so much. But those bright red pants and that top just popped off everything and I miss not seeing that 4 quadrant one in there. I'd love to see that one and Sal's negative space one printed too. Great set!!
I would have picked sal’s close up shot or the one where she’s looking down to the right I am still a sucker for black and white plus her poses she killed it. Please bring her back again for another shoot.
I've been so focused (no pun intended) on my 9to5 that I haven't touched my camera in forever and haven't watched any photography content. I'm sitting here while working on a spreadsheet (zzzZZZZzzzz) and this is really causing that itch to start up again. Keep it coming. 👍🏾👍🏾
I really love both , that black and white it’s a killer; however in disagreement with some of you I love the fact that Sam’s picture still show the metal piece in the ground. That metal gave the piece a different balance and it is not a negative space any more. Love it.
I have to go with Sal's photo, but your shot is great as well. I just love the color and the pose of his shot a bit more. Great job by both of you. Your model is stunning as well.
Closest contest yet! 2 different styles hmmm? I like the B&W... everything was right on the image. Sals is good also. It really comes down to personal preference. Not bad work on an old clunker camera.. Great job guys..... I love it!
Sal’s got your number on this one, Vanessa-even though he self-sabotaged by not listening to you about the unreliability of all but the center AF point on that 10D.
I liked Sal's for the non-standard open space (or logo space for a big customer) but then you took it to b&w for the subtle tonality and on matte paper. Super! you win!
I really like VJ's print very much! the black and white and her expression is really cool! Don't worry Sal second is ok behind VJ's print!!! still nice composition on your pics too! Cheers!!
I think you won, Vanessa. In this case I would say up close and personal is better than full lengt, strong standing pose against the wall. But for a double spread in a magazine, with text, I would go for his picture.
Now this one was fun great model and collaboration. So cool to see the old gear and seeing how far technology has come in cameras. And she reminds me of me she said keep that focus point in the middle lol it’s a add thing I do the same thing loved the final shot I really want that printer.
@@VanessaJoy yea it is I watched reviews on it a while back see you use it helping me decide.especially seeing the black and white great shot by the way.
I didn’t hear a buzzer…😀😀😀And… Vanessa says “Each photographer can shoot to their heart’s content….”😎 The absolute take away here… Look at that beautiful print with a 6 megapixel camera ….Stunning..
I pick the B&W shot by a hair. I just love the shot being up & close to the model. I do like Sals shot in that it is different. It would make a great horizontal book jacket cover.
I have to give the nod to Sal's wide shot, but both of your shots are excellent. I really love this series; you two made me laugh a lot. I do love watching other photographers work, especially when there's creative chemistry happening.
Very inspiring video and this proves that any DSLR with a cheap 50 mm can do the job perfectly Well I do have a Canon 30D and I still use it for my Street Photography….
I’m going with you Vanessa. I like the black & white, but would also like to see it edited and printed in colour. There were some close ups of Sal that I preferred to the one he chose and also the one where he talked about negative space. I really liked the one of his where he was using some of the harder sunlight with the model looking up into it.
Hi Vanessa I really enjoyed watching you both work on this shoot. It was pretty easy for me this time to pick the photo and that is yours it just looked so good to me. Being Black and white was spot on and the way it filled the whole frame was brilliant. Loved it...
I thought yours Vanessa for this one. I love black and white and I like the up close pose. I did like Sal's but the only thing I didn't like was I thought the red could have popped more it just seemed a bit dull on the print. Just my thoughts. I do love the composition on Sal's a lot though.
As always it’s never easy. I love the black and white, but for some odd reason I see the color version in my mind. While the pipes may be a distraction on Sal’s, the rest is a very strong image. I’m giving a soft edge to Vanessa’s.
Oh my....this is maybe the hardest challenge to decide. Sal's color and pose are so beautiful as expected. I prefer the close up images best, Vanessa your image is sharp, clear and stunning in B&W. Winner...Vanessa Joy.
Yours (based on the final prints)! I do wish you had access to an 85mm 1.8 with the same composition and keeping the color. Sal could have won but the exposure, color and focus were off. I enjoyed this showdown, especially the light trash talk.
Great show once again thanks, both images were great perhaps Sal shaded it. I had one of the cameras with a 3.5" disk it was a Sony Mavica it was 2mp!!
It's so funny how the 10D is a lot of people's first camera. I got lucky that my dad won it in a poker game in 05 and gave it to me when I was a kid because it was "too complicated" 😅❤
The 10D was my first DSLR. I still have it, but haven't used it for quite some time. My daughter was using for a while. Even though it's old and slow now, I have a lot of photos from it that I really like. Image quality really isn't that awful until you start comparing it to today's cameras.
I used to photograph with such black and white films Kodak Pan-X (32 ASA), Plus-X (125 ASA) and Tri-X (400 ASA). That's why I going with the one on your right and my left. Just because I gave up on photography, does not mean I can't appreciate good photography. To bad I didn't buy a used Canon 50D or 60D. Perhaps a Nikon D700 or D800.
@@kevcleaver Mine too. I think a floppy disk held about 15 or 16 photos. I bought mine in Singapore, on the way to Australia...that's a lot of floppy disks for a 2 weeks holiday!
it depends on the situation. sometimes the model dont know exactly what your vision is and sometimes get confused on the direction. you should always ask at the very least but sometimes you get caught up in the moment and just do what needs to be done.he was just guiding her knee, nothing funny.
I think this is the first time I didn't think it was close. Vanessas shot I think was so much better, B&W was definitely the way to go with that image.
I still use my Pentax *istDL that I bought in 2005 it is a 6 megapixel camera that now sells on the used market for $ 20.00 .I leave it in my car and use it if I see something worth photographing. I have it on spot focus for quicker autofocus . what makes the camera viable is photo editing software without editing software the camera would no longer be viable today.
Sal gets my vote Vanessa, i felt that the pictures you chose for your self would have looked better with a tighter crop if you want to maol it to me i can show you what i mean . that said there is room for improvement with Sals selection
I love B/W. That being said, did Sal edit his photo or did you? I would like to have seen Sal’s photo printed the way he talked about editing it. Either way I still like Sal’s as the winner.
Nope! Still didn’t learn anything, managed to listen for about 60 secs before I started getting distracted by your beauty and humour! One day I’ll learn to focus 😜
I liked both your photos.. Two different angles. I think I like both equally.. The one thing that sways me more towards, Vanessa's is the fact that it looks more classic at the same time modern & sultry.. I also like Sal's but I feel that the stainless steel on the floor took away from the photo.. I would have edited that out.. it's one thing to mix the models slick look with the sidewalk but another to see construction materials on the floor.. Just took too much away from the photo in my humble opinion..
I vote for Sal. I'm not biased at all.
lol no, no not at all
Hands down YOURS Vanessa!
Aw thx ☺️
I would have picked Sal's except for that metal thingy on the ground being so distracting. Love the negative space in his shot. Yours is excellent too and I love the B&W treatment. Both excellent shots and I appreciate that you both used the same (old) gear.

the red is so gooooood
@@VanessaJoy I almost want all of my talent to wear those pants for every shoot 😂😂
Vanessa killed it for the win!
The model won. You both have style. Amazed at how the black and white looked.
She definitely did 😂
I would have picked sal’s close up shot or the one where she’s looking down to the right I am still a sucker for black and white plus her poses she killed it. Please bring her back again for another shoot.
The black and white of you vanessa is the winner.
I've been so focused (no pun intended) on my 9to5 that I haven't touched my camera in forever and haven't watched any photography content. I'm sitting here while working on a spreadsheet (zzzZZZZzzzz) and this is really causing that itch to start up again. Keep it coming. 👍🏾👍🏾
Definitely Vanessa’s. The BW makes it pop, the composition is great, and the model’s expression grabs my attention. Great video Vanessa and Sal!
I gotta go with Vanessa, I love the Black and wite plus the crop, the pose, the lighting it's all awesome.
I like Vanessa's final shot. Love the black and white.
Vanessa’s B&W is awesome!!
Thx ☺️
I really love both , that black and white it’s a killer; however in disagreement with some of you I love the fact that Sam’s picture still show the metal piece in the ground. That metal gave the piece a different balance and it is not a negative space any more. Love it.
It's interesting in a good way.
good observation!
I really love both of the prints. The model did a awesome job and the clothes with the red pants. Awesome sauce to you all. Great job.
Thanks 😊
@@VanessaJoy You are very welcome.
I have to watch Sal video channel again too when I have time. Thanks for recommend 50mm prime lens. May bring it next time at an event as a backup.
You should!
Can’t separate them this time… both striking!!!
Sal hands down!!! Best photo...:-)
Both are great but I love the Black and White....
By far my favorite episode. Sal is a riot. We need round two, Vanessa!
Haha we absolutely should!
I love the B&W, but I loved the color MOAR! Her skin tone looked amazing in natural color.
I totally agree!
Sal smashed it with that wide shot!!
he did!
I love her outfit!
I have to go with Sal's photo, but your shot is great as well. I just love the color and the pose of his shot a bit more. Great job by both of you. Your model is stunning as well.
Color worked great with her outfit!

😂
A Joyful win for me.
You're the winner, Vanessa! Love the framing, pose, and tones
I love it when the comfort level allows for light ribbing. 😂 I can't choose a favorite. I love both! 😍
I liked Sal's for the non-standard open space (or logo space for a big customer) but then you took it to b&w for the subtle tonality and on matte paper. Super! you win!
That matte paper is gorgeous
I really like VJ's print very much! the black and white and her expression is really cool!
Don't worry Sal second is ok behind VJ's print!!! still nice composition on your pics too!
Cheers!!
Thanks 😊 Chelsea killed the expressions
I think you won, Vanessa. In this case I would say up close and personal is better than full lengt, strong standing pose against the wall. But for a double spread in a magazine, with text, I would go for his picture.
Love both styles
Both are nice images but I like your b&w image best of those two.
Now this one was fun great model and collaboration. So cool to see the old gear and seeing how far technology has come in cameras. And she reminds me of me she said keep that focus point in the middle lol it’s a add thing I do the same thing loved the final shot I really want that printer.
It’s such an affordable printer too!!
@@VanessaJoy yea it is I watched reviews on it a while back see you use it helping me decide.especially seeing the black and white great shot by the way.
Gotta go with Sal on this one.
I don't have a favorite this time I love B&W but I love Sal's pose and composition.
Maybe with our powers combined???
i¨m blown away that bnw print is wauuw , Vanessa i choose yours
aw thanks!
I didn’t hear a buzzer…😀😀😀And… Vanessa says “Each photographer can shoot to their heart’s content….”😎 The absolute take away here… Look at that beautiful print with a 6 megapixel camera ….Stunning..
heck yeah!

We definitely had fun!
People don't like to look small in pictures, Sal shoots wide so clients have to buy bigger prints. Good way to make money
Vanessa, I like yours because I can see the model better and she has a great pose. Plus I love black and white!
Aw thx ☺️
Very inspiring video and this proves that any DSLR with a cheap 50 mm can do the job perfectly

The color was so pretty too!
Both are amazing! You both chose very strong shots. Gotta give it to Sal on this one! that color pop and great use of negative space gets me!!!
love me some negative space!
I like yours in B & W and give it my vote although I also like Sal's.
Black and White. Always. 🤛
Bamm!!

trash talk is always good haha
Vanessa for the win!! Sal didn’t edit out the item on the ground, that was unfortunate. Love the black and white tones that the Canon printer captured
Nice printer, right?
You have nailed it this time :) I am simply in love with BW photography and your shot is amazing.
Sal takes it with the color on that white wall.
so good right?
Sleeveless beautiful , the b&w is my choice
Love yours, the pose and the b&w.
thanks!
Tough choice. But I’m going to have to go with Sal’s based off the final images chosen.
his tells such a story!
Great show once again thanks, both images were great perhaps Sal shaded it. I had one of the cameras with a 3.5" disk it was a Sony Mavica it was 2mp!!
Fun!
It's so funny how the 10D is a lot of people's first camera. I got lucky that my dad won it in a poker game in 05 and gave it to me when I was a kid because it was "too complicated" 😅❤
Haha nice
Vanessa for the win let’s go!
Thanks 😊
These prints look outstanding for a 6 megapixel camera!!!
Right?!?!
I equally like them both.....Good Tie
Thx ☺️
I remember those cameras that took the 3.5” discs. They were considered the cream when they were out. For all of 3 days
The 10D was my first DSLR. I still have it, but haven't used it for quite some time. My daughter was using for a while. Even though it's old and slow now, I have a lot of photos from it that I really like. Image quality really isn't that awful until you start comparing it to today's cameras.
Mine too!!
Fun shoot. I prefer Vanessa's final photo
Can’t decide… you both killed it! 👍😊
I get what Sal was going for. And I like those shots. But I’m a sucker for B&W. And that image was awesome! VJ wins! Love these videos!
OMG!!! This is the hardest choice thus far. I love both but I'm going to have to give Sal the nod. I'm kind of impartial to negative space.
I used to photograph with such black and white films Kodak Pan-X (32 ASA), Plus-X (125 ASA) and Tri-X (400 ASA). That's why I going with the one on your right and my left. Just because I gave up on photography, does not mean I can't appreciate good photography. To bad I didn't buy a used Canon 50D or 60D. Perhaps a Nikon D700 or D800.
Ahhh…the Sony Mavica…with a built in floppy disk drive. Still got it!
my first digital, we used to have some at work too. How many shots per disk was it. Also had the mini cd one that followed
Haha fun
@@kevcleaver Mine too. I think a floppy disk held about 15 or 16 photos. I bought mine in Singapore, on the way to Australia...that's a lot of floppy disks for a 2 weeks holiday!
I like Sal’s final print better. I love your pose, just wish that you printed it in color.
My favorite was the one from a Sals extra photos. The one of her knee bent and hair pulled back.
Love this!
Until recently I was shooting with a 9 year old D3100 so Old Gear was me. Now shoot with Z6. Loved the shots but the B&W was killer! Sorry Sal.
Such a cool series, keep it going!
so many more coming!
just like the photos
I think Sal violated one of the rules of shooting a model; never touch the model.
it depends on the situation. sometimes the model dont know exactly what your vision is and sometimes get confused on the direction. you should always ask at the very least but sometimes you get caught up in the moment and just do what needs to be done.he was just guiding her knee, nothing funny.
Love this series you are doing,my vote goes to Vanessa
Thanks 😊
I think this is the first time I didn't think it was close. Vanessas shot I think was so much better, B&W was definitely the way to go with that image.
aw thanks
Sal's style, tho, is 🔥🔥🔥
Isnt it?
@@VanessaJoy he may not get to say booty back that much longer in this society, but man he knows how to get the pose he wants.
@@derbagger22 I think it’s good direction 🤷🏻♀️ as a woman I’d prefer that vs “tush” or “rear” or even “butt”
@@VanessaJoy agreed. I thought it was direct but not disrespectful in the least.
I remember the Sony cameras that used the 3.5" floppy discs.
Haha those were the days
@@VanessaJoy even before that.. I remember when our office got an Apple QuickTake camera.
I gotta go with Sal on this one. It stood out more.. BUT your still the BAD ASS Vanessa
Thanks 😊
I’m torn, on one hand I love Sal but Texas has adopted Vanessa and we gotta look after our own!!

hehe

"if you don't look closely it's in focus" - me choosing pics for my IG gallery
I love B/W. That being said, did Sal edit his photo or did you? I would like to have seen Sal’s photo printed the way he talked about editing it. Either way I still like Sal’s as the winner.
He did
Black and white was my medium when I started in photography…..Vanessa wins here.
Vanessa’s 💯 👌🏼
Tough choice, but I'll ride with Sal on this one. #round2?
Maybe!
Sal picture sells the red pants, but I rather the Vanessa composition
Sal
Nope! Still didn’t learn anything, managed to listen for about 60 secs before I started getting distracted by your beauty and humour! One day I’ll learn to focus 😜
