Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the photographs. I couldn't agree more - the model was fantastic and the landscape was indeed breathtaking. Those elements certainly make my job as a photographer much easier and enjoyable! 😄 I appreciate your support and feedback, it really means a lot. Stay tuned for more content like this. Happy shooting!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos. It's a lot of fun to create them and the positive vibes from viewers like you make it all the more worthwhile. Music plays a big role in setting the atmosphere, so I'm thrilled to hear that you like the choices. Stay tuned for more, and as always, keep sharing your thoughts. Your feedback fuels this channel!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the video and especially appreciate your compliment on my perspectives. It means a lot to me, and I hope to continue bringing content that you find valuable and interesting. Thanks again for watching and for your thoughtful comment!
🔴📷 Thank you so much, Leica! It's an honor to be recognized by a brand that I respect and admire so much. The Q3 has been an amazing tool in my creative journey. Looking forward to capturing more beautiful moments with it!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I completely agree, light plays an incredibly vital role in shaping a portrait and the creativity of the photographer is key in capturing unique, compelling images. Adding to that, I believe the connection between the photographer and the subject is also an essential aspect of portrait photography. This often underestimated component can truly make or break a portrait. When a photographer is able to establish a rapport with their subject, it helps in bringing out their genuine emotions and personality. These moments of authentic expression can take a portrait from good to truly extraordinary. Thank you again for your input. It's wonderful to have these discussions and share insights about what we believe makes a strong portrait. Happy shooting!
Alessandro, do you want to hear something really funny? I was out shooting streets with my friends last night and two of them were just talking about how much they love using 28mm now. Then I came home and saw your video. What timing. About your question... most vital element for me is the light. Assuming the photographer has an idea of what they're doing. Back to the 28mm lens debate, It is a very versatile lens. It's killer in streets. The distortion is not too bad for portraits either. Most have a very close minimum focus distance too, so you can do many things with that focal length especially if it's relatively fast (2.8). I have not had one for a long time, but all of this talk about 28mm lenses (from you and my friends) kinda makes me want one!! XD Of course, lots of awesome advice, AGAIN, this video for composition and interest. Very cool watching you work, moving in and out, up and down, left and right... as you check composition, lighting, background elements and such in your frame. My notebook is filling up fast. Thanks again for a cool video. Adding bloopers at the end was funny. More singing models please. XD
Hey, that's some awesome timing indeed! The universe seems to be pushing you towards the 28mm side, doesn't it? 😄 Totally agree with you, light plays an incredibly vital role in photography, it can completely transform a scene. The versatility of the 28mm lens is exactly why I'm hooked on it. It offers an interesting mix of wide-angle view with minimal distortion, perfect for both street and portraits. That close minimum focus distance can open up a whole new world of possibilities. And there is also the digital crop feature of the Q3 that is really interesting even if I am not using too much. I'm really glad you're enjoying my videos and finding them useful. I hope notebook will get thicker with more tips and tricks 😄 Haha, the bloopers and singing models are definitely a fun twist. Will try to add more of these. Keep shooting and exploring with whatever lens you have. And if you do decide to go for the 28mm, I'd love to hear about your experience. Happy shooting!
Thank you for your comment and for sharing this journey with me. I'm equally excited to see where this new approach leads. The Leica Q3 has opened up a whole new dimension in my photography, and I can't wait to explore it further. I hope you'll continue to join me in this journey. As always, your feedback and insights are greatly appreciated. Stay tuned for more adventures with the Q3, and happy shooting!
Absolutely! It's that fleeting connection and the play of light that truly transforms a moment into a lasting photograph. Thank you for recognizing and appreciating that magic. Your comment means a lot. Keep capturing and cherishing those fractions of a second! 📸✨
Really enjoying your videos so far, love this video maybe the most with the images coming out of the Q3. I'm on day 2 with it. I'm going to experiment with glimmerglass1 to cut the sharpness a tad. Are you using any filters?
Hello, thank you so much for your support and for sharing your experiences with the Q3. It's great to hear that you're enjoying it and finding my videos helpful! The idea to use a glimmerglass filter to subtly soften the sharpness is an intriguing approach, and it could lend a unique aesthetic to your images. I'd love to see the result. As for me, I typically don't use any filters with my Q3 for my street and portrait photography except an UV filter. I find the sharpness and clarity that the camera naturally produces to be one of its strengths. However, I do occasionally use a neutral density filter when shooting in bright conditions to maintain control over my aperture and shutter speed. Keep experimenting and finding what works best for you - that's a significant part of the joy of photography! I look forward to hearing about your ongoing experiences with the Q3. Happy shooting!
Thank you for your kind words and suggestion! I'm delighted you enjoy my photos. The editing process can indeed make a significant difference in the final output of the images. And yes, I'm glad to inform you that I have plans to create a video tutorial explaining how I edit my Leica DNG files in the near future. Stay tuned to my channel for updates. Happy shooting!
And is this truth, actually its a zoom lens. Because you have this crop functions (windows) and with the 60MP pixels you can crop to like 50mm or 70mm and thats the same like using a 50mm or 70mm lens. Am I right?
Thank you for your kind words, I'm really glad you enjoyed the portraits! Your suggestion about exploring studio style settings with strobe lights is actually something that's been on my mind for a while. I absolutely agree, it presents a whole new realm of creative possibilities and it's certainly a part of photography I'm looking forward to diving into. In addition to that, landscape photography is another genre I'm keen on exploring and sharing with you all. There's something truly magical about capturing the grandeur of nature in a single frame. So yes, exciting things are indeed on the horizon for this channel! Stay tuned for some diverse content and new adventures in photography. And as always, keep sharing your valuable feedback and suggestions - they really help shape the content I produce. Happy shooting!
These are great photos! Not easy to pull off in this mixed lighting. I like what I have seen from the Q3 portraits but $6,000 is way too much money IMO.
Thank you for your kind words about the photos! I totally understand your viewpoint on the price of the Leica Q3. It's true, it's a premium product and with that comes a premium price tag. Leica is renowned for its impeccable build quality, excellent optics, and the unique rendering of its images - these are some of the factors contributing to its cost. However, I absolutely agree with you that one doesn't need a high-end camera like the Q3 to take great photos. Excellent images can be made with more affordable gear too. It's all about understanding and making the most of what you have. After all, creativity and understanding of light and composition are far more important than the price tag of your camera. For those who are interested in premium gear but are conscious about the cost, buying second-hand is a fantastic option. You can often find excellent quality equipment at much more accessible prices. In my case, as a professional photographer, having a high-end camera like the Q3 can be necessary. Not only for the outstanding image quality it offers but also for the reliability of the brand and because it doesn't loose value that much as other brands do. But again, everyone's journey in photography is unique and what works for one person may not work for another. It's all about finding the right balance for your individual needs and aspirations. To underline this idea, I'm planning on making a video soon where I'll be using a camera from 2012, a ten-year-old model, in a professional photoshoot with a model. I want to showcase that amazing photographs aren't just about having the newest gear, but about skill, understanding, and creativity. I believe this will be a fantastic way to demonstrate that the age or cost of your equipment doesn't limit your ability to produce stunning images. Keep an eye out for that video, I'm really excited about it and I hope you'll find it informative and inspiring. Thanks again for joining this conversation!
@@theactofseeing Thanks! Makes sense. Yes, Ive been a professional fashion/portrait photographer for 19 years now. Ive shot with or owned tons of cameras from all of the brands. Leica, Hasselblad, Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fuji, Olympus, Panasonic etc...I usually own more budget friendly gear though. Ive actually had most of my published work done with cheap cameras and lenses. Had a layout in Muscle and Fitness magazine I shot with a Canon Rebel T2i and the $75 Nifty Fifty. Also had shots published in Playboy (non centerfolds) and Maxim with a Rebel T3i but also with the 40D and 5D series. I went thru a streak not too long ago where I owned a Sony a7r IV with GM lenses and then a Canon R5 with a couple RF-L lenses but I just didnt notice much of a difference from those same lenses on my lower end Sony and Canon cameras, especially since most my work these days are for websites and social media. I just did a shoot for a modeling agency with my Canon R10 and the RF 50 1.8 that everyone loved. If I ever got into weddings full time I would probably get higher end gear again but I just dont have any use for 45-60 megapixel cameras for social media. I do love the look and aesthetics of the Q cameras though and I enjoy watching what others create with them. Might rent one just for fun for a few shoots 😊
I completely understand your perspective. The 85mm focal length has traditionally been revered as a classic portrait lens, providing beautiful subject isolation and that creamy bokeh many photographers love. It's an iconic choice for portrait photographers around the world. However, photography is as much an art as it is a science. For me, moving to the Leica Q3's 28mm focal length wasn't about dismissing the qualities of the 85mm, but rather embracing a different approach to portraiture. While the 85mm excels at isolating subjects and creating dreamy backgrounds, the 28mm pushes me to think more about the environment in which I'm placing my subjects. It's about capturing a wider story and context, making the portraits more environmental. Using the 28mm, I find myself having to be more deliberate with my compositions, considering both subject and setting to craft an image that speaks volumes. It's challenging, but therein lies the appeal for me. It's a tool that prompts a more thoughtful approach, and that's what I was looking for. But, like all things in photography, it's deeply personal. What works for one may not resonate with another, and that's the beauty of this craft. There's no one-size-fits-all, and I love that we can all find our unique voice through different gear and techniques. I hope this response helps you convey your perspective in a respectful and understanding manner.
Thanks for your comment! Indeed, as a photographer, I'm always exploring new perspectives and techniques, like choosing the 28mm lens for portrait photography with the Leica Q3. If you have any specific thoughts or questions about this approach, I'd love to hear them! 📸
Hello, thank you for sharing your perspective! I couldn't agree more, the model's attitude and the intensity of their gaze can indeed bring a portrait to life. The way a photographer frames the subject to emphasize these aspects is certainly crucial. I'd also like to emphasize the point you've brought up, indirectly, about the connection between the photographer and the subject. This connection is what helps draw out the model's attitude, intensity and authenticity. As photographers, the more we empathize with our subjects and understand their personalities, the better we can guide them to express themselves in front of the camera. This rapport not only ensures a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for the model, but it also allows us to create more meaningful, expressive portraits. Photography isn't just about capturing a moment, but capturing the essence of the person in that moment. Thank you again for your insightful comment, it's wonderful to have these discussions that deepen our understanding of the art of portrait photography. Happy shooting!
uhm. Yes. Some creative fashion style shoot, ok. But if you make a true „portrait“ means face and shoulders well framed, you‘d get so close that you run into distorsion. There is no real way to replace a 75-135mm equivelent for a clean portrait image.
Thank you for your comment, and you make a very valid point. The traditional portrait focal length of 75-135mm equivalent indeed produces less distortion when taking close-up portraits, such as a head and shoulders composition. However, the premise of this video is to share my personal choice of using the Leica Q3 as my main camera in a majority of my shoots. It's not about suggesting it as the ultimate solution for all situations, but rather illustrating how one can utilize a single tool in a variety of contexts, and still get remarkable results. Additionally, the Leica Q3 features a brilliant 60MP sensor that allows for significant cropping while preserving excellent image quality. So, a tighter crop such as a head-and-shoulder portrait is still very much possible. Additionally there is the digital crop feature that allows you to crop the image in camera simulating a 35mm, 50mm, 75mm and even 90mm. In the end, photography is a very personal journey and what works for one person might not work for another. The key is in experimenting, challenging conventions, and finding what truly resonates with your creative vision. Thanks again for your input, I really appreciate the dialogue!
Digital B/W will never be pleasent to see. It is sooo far away from Film and the look of the fim photos. Would never spent so muach money on a digital cmera to shoot in B/W...never ever
Hey, I appreciate your viewpoint and it's great to hear different opinions! Film photography, especially B/W, has a distinctive, timeless charm that many photographers adore, including myself. By the way this video is not about B/W but about my personal choice about gear. As for investing in a digital camera to shoot B/W (anyway mine is not a Monochrome), it may not be everyone's choice, and that's completely okay. After all, photography is a very personal journey. Everyone is free in this journey, and what works for one might not work for another, and that's part of the beauty of it.
Stunning photographs, a beautiful model and an incredible landscape.
Nicely done.👍

did you shoot the video with the Q3 also?
No I made the video with a GoPro on a tripod and a Fujifilm XT-4 with the 23mm f-2 lens (35mm equivalent on full frame)
