    My passion is shooting in 💯 natural light! I was a pro photos 10+ years with my Canon and worked with models and magazines, then switched to iPhone 15 Pro Max and still shoot (mostly) the same except now I also work in still life (my home studio) for my gallery shots. I love the fact that you do open shade with natural light! I think that is a hard craft to master but so well worth it in the end and far too many photographers either can’t do that or look down on it… shame isn’t it! I subscribed to your channel and requested all so I can keep up! Excellent work! Keep it up! If you’re ever in Key West Florida please hit me up for some truly amazing places to shoot! Take care! 😊

      My settings don’t affect your photos. Camera settings are situational. So me shooting at this exposure means nothing when someone else is shooting. Learn your camera. Learn exposure. Learn how to make photographs that speak without words. Shoot aperture priority. Learn what the perfect exposure looks like and how to achieve it. I’ll be making a beginner playlist soon. Subscribe.

    Thanks for sharing this. It's great to see such lovely images coming from using natural light. If you don't mind, may you share your aperture and iso settings, and why you chose them? Also, do you plan the poses ahead of time for such outdoor shoots, or does the location determine the pose you instruct your subject?

    • @stevecarty
      @stevecarty  9 месяцев назад +1

      No need for that. My settings don’t help you. Shoot aperture priority. No higher than iso 1000 and use a 50mm

    Hey Steve morning,
    I have been weaned onto your content over the last couple of months and I must say it is enjoyable insightful and a genuine learning experience. I noticed from the stats at the end of this video that we are shooting with the same equipment. Can I ask you please can you tell me what was your dialled in settings for picture one and picture two, you have mentioned that it’s untouched and I really like the End result and also did you use any kind of indie filter on your lens?
    Hopefully I haven’t asked you to divulge any of your secret formula and I look forward to your response.

      @@premeviews Because you already have lights on hand, start working on lighting with the lights you have. Even low power continuous lights are good enough to learn lighting patterns and how you prefer to light your subjects. As you get more comfortable setting up, lighting, and transitioning through looks, buy more powerful lights and keep growing. One other thing to mention, purchase at least one 5-in-1 reflector for modifying the light as it is an inexpensive addition for creating the best light in various settings.
