Great photo shoot Ike! I love the edits. Your video with N-Log using the Pani V Log LUT looks great! Keep it coming brother. You are showing people the capabilities of Nikon right here. Love it!
She is absolutely gorgeous and you made her and her mom even more happy on her graduation photos. I gotta admit, the silent shutter saved you in that library; the regular shutter click sounded like it echoed in there! I'm glad campus security didn't bother you; college campuses are pretty laid back, but the larger schools can get protective Loved the portraits, expressions, and locations
Great photos! I enjoyed watching this shoot. The composition was great, lighting and posing were great as well. I have to dive into my Capture One and color grading, those edits were amazing. Keep it coming Ike.
I've known for ages that you were a master with light - but now I appreciate your skills on a different level. The way you use shapes and lines is ... just wow. Fantastic Ike.
This is amazing work Me-Ike .... I love how you took control of the situation and showed how to rectified it. The subject was amazing. She should be featured as a future model on this channel. She was so natural.
She has a beautiful smile. I love your videos. they have really helped me control my photography better. I will admit I have tried to copy some of your shoots because they was so awesome.
This is pure magic! Thanks for being the most honest cause those little things such as spotting a mistake and telling us how you managed to correct them, helps a lot! Amazing content! (:
Great minds think alike, as soon as she leaned on the rail outside the library, I was like ohhh, that's the one and you did not disappoint! Great work as always.
Awesome video! I amazed at how you did this during this time of the day. I have to learn how to color grade my videos. Thanks for sharing, and I can’t wait until your next one.
Man i love the footage and pictures of the Nikon ,of course you are one of best on the RUclips's in pictures. Does it have a time limit on video? I shoot Panasonic now because of the non recording limit.
Once again, a great video. I like the photos, the setting, and the interaction with the crew and model. By the way, I know she'll print this one at 7:44 because it's flawless and it doesn't get much better than that.
Gonna take your advice about the Nikkor 28-75mm 2.8S. You haven't steered me wrong yet. Another great video. Time for the Hot Springs Shoot with the Z9.
Thanks for demonstrating HSS on the Z9. I'm still waiting on mine but I've watched almost every video on it in preparation of receiving it and no one really touches on HSS (especially since it doesn't have a mechanical shutter). Do you have to change a certain setting for it to work on the z9?
Thank you. And no it works just like every other Nikon. As long as your flash setting is in Auto FP Sync or whatever it is. It works the same as every other camera up to 1/8000th I believe.
Greetings from Hertfordshire, England, Ike. First time for me to see you on RUclips. Lovely portraits. The Nikon Z 50mm is so sharp! I particularly like the shots you've taken crouched down and angled slightly up. Creates a very pleasing perspective. I guess I would have liked more of the building behind blurred out to make your scholarly subject pop out even more. Great video work too of course. Bravo!
Hi! how are you? i am hesitating abpout going to Z9 (or Z8) because of the IQ vs the d850 and Z7ii....do you thinks is in the same level? the stacked sensor has a somehow more artificial look..what do you think about that? i guess you tried both..thanks!!!
I haven’t compared the two. But if you are looking for the ultimate picture quality. Then I think the D850 will have the edge because the Z9 is built for speed and so image quality suffers because of it. But I have no complaints. If you watch my videos. I always include the RAW files for you to see for yourself!
So when shooting outdoors with a speed light, do you get permits? New York City is a bit confusing with their permit rules. Not sure where you are in the world, but wondering if you have similar restrictions.
Is that a shine spray your spraying on her? Were you adding the shutter noise in the video on the shots in the library, since it should be a quiet camera being mirrorless. Good shots Ike.
Ike, I know this is an older video. So I’m not sure you’re still checking the comments. If you are, can you clarify something for me please? On Westcott’s website, they say the Z9 is only compatible with the FJ 400 and the corresponding trigger in manual mode. So I understand that to mean no TTL. What about HSS? Given your shutter speeds here, I am assuming that works fine shooting with the Z9, correct?
@@Photomeike I’ve been shooting with Profoto strobes for about 8 years. But I’ve been considering buying into a different lighting ecosystem and looking at Westcott. This video, and your response to my question, was the final contributor to my decision. I ordered the FJ400 yesterday. Thanks.
@@Photomeike I own half a dozen Profoto strobes and don’t plan to get rid of them. If the FJ400 is solid, I may expand the system. This is more of a test purchase for something reliable that is not quite as expensive as the Profoto line. I have two of the Profoto A10s as part of my kit. It’s the model that replaced the A1X. Very good on-camera/off-camera small strobes. I haven’t used them on-camera since I acquired my Z9 bodies, but I have used them off-camera. Profoto plays really nice with the Z9.
I’m glad you asked the second part. Very observant. The screen is the Atomos Ninja V recorder that’s what allows me to record my EVF so you can see what I see when i shoot. The reason I had it facing the model was because in the library I couldn’t talk very much. So I wanted her to be able to see herself to help her pose. Also because I had the camera on silent mode. She could see the screen flash and know when i was talking a photo.

You know the shots are fire when Ike does a dance!! My guy brought the fire and Mommy approved..that’s a “W” in anyones play book! Good work man.👏👏
Her energy is great man. That makes sessions that much better.
Very much so!

Hey Me-ike ! I gotta say , this girl has a light up the room smile , and appears too have a great sense of humor . As always great work .
Most definitely! Thanks!

This is pure magic! Thanks for being the most honest cause those little things such as spotting a mistake and telling us how you managed to correct them, helps a lot! Amazing content! (:
Thank you very much 🙌🏾. I appreciate your support Diego!
love the creative and positive vibe you create while shooting. really lovely.
Content always fire, but what I love is the Street Fighter "PERFECT" every time!
Great minds think alike, as soon as she leaned on the rail outside the library, I was like ohhh, that's the one and you did not disappoint! Great work as always.
Exactly!! Thanks
Awesome video! I amazed at how you did this during this time of the day. I have to learn how to color grade my videos. Thanks for sharing, and I can’t wait until your next one.

Man i love the footage and pictures of the Nikon ,of course you are one of best on the RUclips's in pictures. Does it have a time limit on video? I shoot Panasonic now because of the non recording limit.
Great pictures and edits! What were you spraying on the model's legs at the start of the video?
Mannnn! Now that I know the library is back open, its time to go do a shoot! Loved the video as always 💪🏾💪🏾
I feel inspired Ike. That was fire 🔥
Appreciate that bro!
Once again, a great video. I like the photos, the setting, and the interaction with the crew and model. By the way, I know she'll print this one at 7:44 because it's flawless and it doesn't get much better than that.
This is why you are my dude!! Pure Bomb!!!

This is now my favorite video!!!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
THIS is just an inspirational work, keep on it
Thanks so much for putting these videos together. How do the z9 files compare to the d850 files.
I haven’t compared the two. But if you are looking for the ultimate picture quality. Then I think the D850 will have the edge because the Z9 is built for speed and so image quality suffers because of it. But I have no complaints. If you watch my videos.

Photo-Me-Ike Thanks for the details. I'll look at the raw files. Keep bangin' out quality content. 💪🏿💯
That one before yal dance was 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Wow.... Love it Nikon Z9 better way than anyone....
Great work using natural light.
Thanks William!
Fun shoot as always!
Thank you! I had a great time!
You killed this shoot bro , colors look good
Thanks man 🙏🏾
Love all the OFC photos the best! Gang Gang!!
Of course you do. Lol thanks man!
So when shooting outdoors with a speed light, do you get permits?
New York City is a bit confusing with their permit rules. Not sure where you are in the world, but wondering if you have similar restrictions.
I’m in Seattle/Tacoma and I never get permits.
That was 🔥🔥🔥 as usual
Thanks a lot man!
Is that a shine spray your spraying on her? Were you adding the shutter noise in the video on the shots in the library, since it should be a quiet camera being mirrorless. Good shots Ike.
Ors Olive Oil spray! And thanks a lot!
Straight fire fun and educational.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thanks
How beautiful and photogenic is this Model??? Great light, natural and off-camera flash.

Yes. I never shoot TTL with OCF so I didn’t even know that TTL didn’t work. That’s odd. But yes HSS works just fine.

Yessuh Ike dope shoot/video bro
Thanks Taye!
Great images.
Dope photoshoot!!
Love the z9! Wish I could justify the price. Lol just have to stick with my z6 for now
always brilliant
I have two questions, what brand of external screen is the one you are using and why is it facing towards the model?
I’m glad you asked the second part. Very observant. The screen is the Atomos Ninja V recorder that’s what allows me to record my EVF so you can see what I see when i shoot.
The reason I had it facing the model was because in the library I couldn’t talk very much. So I wanted her to be able to see herself to help her pose. Also because I had the camera on silent mode. She could see the screen flash and know when i was talking a photo.
Beautiful👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The goat
Alright Ike, I see you homie
FIRE 🔥!
Awesome work!!!
Freekin Gorgeous!!!!!!!!! You R The Man!!!!!!! ThankYou For Inspiring Me!!!!!! :) :) :) :) (4 Smileys Is The Best)

Good stuff, bro!
Thanks man!
How do you rate the video on that camera from 1 to 10? Nice work?
Easily a 10! Files are gorgeous and easy to work with! Sharp but not digital looking to give a film like vibe.
amazing work
Thanks Ryan!
Great shots bro!
Appreciate it!
