1. turn off the lights 2. place the model near the window 3. expose for the highlightes and underexpose a little more 4. shoot wide open to bring attention to the model 5. have the model's face turn in the direction of the light when possible, or bring her to a dark place of the room and have her face the window 6. keep your subject in good light, it's the key don't do much in post prod, adjust white balance and exposure when necessary
I loved the moody pictures. That's definitely a favorite style of mine and one I need to work on more. And that has to be the best Squarespace promo I've ever seen.
Off camera flash can be used to great effect for "moody" portraits too. That way you can recreate the lighting anywhere; window or no window. In fact I would argue that with OCF, you will have much more versatility.
I love your moody photos and video. I have a question for you: while working in manual mode for them, did you use spot metering to determine your start exposure?
I guess that in order to lower the exposure compensation the camera must be in Av. because Manual mode doesn’t let you lower the exposure compensation.
Great guide to moody portraits. Only thing I disagree with is the need for natural light. This is definitely achievable with strobe or small flash as well as natural light.
0:15 You can't shoot both? One might argue they're no rules in art. As a wedding shooter, I shoot what's available or shots I've discussed with my client and ones that they love. When I shoot for commercial clients, I work with creative directors or head of marketing to capture whatever style they need. I think a majority young photographers need to step outside the box and not be afraid to show a bit of it all instead of thinking they have to achieve one look. Love your videos!
Great video as always. I do have one question to make sure I understood correctly. Are you underexposing one-stop? or are you compensating one stop from the meter reading? Does it make sense what I am asking? Thanks!
At f1.4 how do you get so much in focus, so close up? I need to stand like 6 feet away with my f1.2 85mm and even then the depth of field is so shallow, I miss some detail because of it. Thanks if you answer this :-)
I don't feel I am either airy or moody. I feel my photos are true to life, I adjust contrast, curves but I try to keep my colors true to what I see. I do LOVE both airy and moody photos but every time I try it, I feel it isn't me.
do you want a bright and airy tutorial, too, or what?
Mango Street Want PLEIIIZZZZ
Could you do "artificial light vs natural light and which is best" please
Minimal photo sounds great
Yasss!
Obviously!
"A window is perfect for that because they come with most houses" 😂 I'm so sorry for all of you without a window.
Not a guarantee in NYC or London. lol
The Squarespace marriage ad is back!!! I was just thinking about how it's been missing it in my life.
1. turn off the lights
2. place the model near the window
3. expose for the highlightes and underexpose a little more
4. shoot wide open to bring attention to the model
5. have the model's face turn in the direction of the light when possible, or bring her to a dark place of the room and have her face the window
6. keep your subject in good light, it's the key
don't do much in post prod, adjust white balance and exposure when necessary
Loved the video, and that was The Best Squarespace ad ever!
This is definitely my jam. I've been enjoying the heck out of your presets too. they're a fantastic starting point for editing.

BEST Squarespace PROMO, you made my day :P THANKS
Liked that Squarespace ad so much better than the last one lol
this is our old ad from last year and it was a tough one to top :)
Yessss finally, a video on their iconic ® shooting style 😃🙌🏻
This entire video is a mood..
Love it! How about nighttime photography :)?
I love your moody photos and video. I have a question for you: while working in manual mode for them, did you use spot metering to determine your start exposure?
I'm a light-and-airy kinda guy but this was very insightful
this has been one of my favorite videos so far! thank you!
Thank you Mango Street. Educational as always. .love it!
I love this format, very useful and simple. Great job :-)
Helpful video for newbies as myself.
Always love your videos, I learned a lot.. Keep sharing guys.. 👍
Love it, exactly what I was looking to learn. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for helping with this video!! I’ve been stuck in a rut trying to figure out the best way to do it!
never skipped the squarespace wedding ads
1:24 wow that looks amazing
Y'all are talented people including the model as well ❤
Awesome video! I really enjoyed it!
best ad ever
Hey I wanted to ask you guys why you shot at iso 500 and 800-1000 shutter speed instead of dropping both the iso and shutter speed?
Love that ad read 😂😂😂
Great Video!!! I’m trying to up my photography game and I really like moody photos. This was such a good tutorial. Thank you.
I truly love you guys and the inspiration you give me. Thank you so much.
In love with your subject
No one can beat your sponsorship ad😂😂😂👍👍
Just watched this, now I'm about to go try it 😎
Great video! Which lense or lenses you have been using in this shoot?
24mm, 35mm, and 85mm 👍
White theme lightroom tutorial pleaseee i hope they see this
I guess that in order to lower the exposure compensation the camera must be in Av. because Manual mode doesn’t let you lower the exposure compensation.
when you're feeling the moody vibes but all your clothes are bright ;_;
Turn them dark in PS
That can still work
that can be really cool tbh
jg. jg. How ?
Ahahahah lost it when you said surrounded by all our friends 😂
What lens(es) did you guys use for this shoot? Great work as always!
Kevin Tablizo sigma 24 1.4
What would be the cheapest camera and lens I could get to achieve this look? thanks
This is helpful!!! Also your camera is fire!!!!! I mean awesome.
Hello! Is it possible to take these kind of shots using a timer?
I may be in love with the model
Good stuff 👍🏾
Yes for moody portraits!
Amazing vid 👌🏼
Very inspiring!!!
Another great tutorial!
Yeah! Am feeling that.
Great guide to moody portraits. Only thing I disagree with is the need for natural light. This is definitely achievable with strobe or small flash as well as natural light.

Great tutorial, what lens did you use?
Do you use exposure compensation or just choose a faster shutter to let in less light?
we shoot in manual mode, so we normally just select a faster shutter.
Great works🤞😀👍🎬📽️📸
I need to be in _that_ mood as a photographer as well
Is there a difference between adjusting exposure stops on camera or post ? Why not adjust the exposure I need by varying the the shutter Speed?
I want a room like this really.....
Excuse me as I go take some moody pictures 👌😎
It'd be nice if you added the focal length you're using guys!! 🖤
Great job on your thumbnail!!!! It's perfect.
What lens do you use for photo in this video??
Great video as always. I do have one question to make sure I understood correctly. Are you underexposing one-stop? or are you compensating one stop from the meter reading? Does it make sense what I am asking? Thanks!
where can i found those pictures?
a video i really needed
Is there a reason you shot at ISO 500 ? Is that the native ISO for this camera ?
I assume that they needed a High ISO because
1) They're underexposing their shots on purpose
2) Have filters on
Where is the link for the pictures... I need a wallpaper 😆😅
What lenses are you guys using
i love ur content
At f1.4 how do you get so much in focus, so close up? I need to stand like 6 feet away with my f1.2 85mm and even then the depth of field is so shallow, I miss some detail because of it. Thanks if you answer this :-)
a wider focal length will have a different depth of field even if the aperture is the same as a tighter focal length.
Nice one guys. Looking forward to practice some for my upcoming insta grid. And yeah love the wedding ending xd
What focal length were you guys shooting at? 35mm?
Some useful suggestions by Mango Street. Why is 50 mm not your favourite lens for portraits?
check out our "best portrait lens" video we posed a month or so ago - we go into a little more depth there.
@@MangoStreet surely. Thanks very much for your response 😍
Super coooool😍🖤
someone pleeaase tell me what that music is, i love it! great video btw, will try it when my battery charger arrives! :)
Of course I'd love this post
What lens shot those. I see the other settings but not the focal length
remember Edward Hopper
Hello there!
Why you left behind Stocksy?
What vocal length or lens did you used?
I don't feel I am either airy or moody. I feel my photos are true to life, I adjust contrast, curves but I try to keep my colors true to what I see. I do LOVE both airy and moody photos but every time I try it, I feel it isn't me.
love it!
you guys are awesome learned a lot from you thank you
LOL, That AD
Can u use iphone 11/11pro for this Moody theme and loveee lovee the square space ads in the end.
use whatever you got, champ!
What does exposing for the highlights mean?
Linux user here, couldn't follow along as I don't have Windows :(
i use arch btw
Do you guys use flashes at all? I've been practicing the Rembrandt lighting with my flash so I'm just wondering.
mmhmm: ruclips.net/video/_DvYegArI-c/видео.html
You guys really love jasmine. haha
definitely. we are also really shy, so.
Any moody Instagram profiles you recommend?
plot twist: the "squarespace add" was the real wedding vows :) lol
nah, but you can hear the real ones in here: ruclips.net/video/f-dme5X-q5k/видео.html
Just wondering, is your viewfinder broken?
you sound fun to be around!
What a world we live in ...
What lens did you use?
id say it's either the sigma 24mm or 20mm f1.4.
