Appreciate the feedback and glad it was useful. Cheers!

Thanks Chuck! Glad you found it valuable.

Absolutely! It's a big country though, whereabouts are you looking?

@@JohnSansomPhotoThanks for replying 😊 in Tampa Fl.

Thanks!

Nice one! Glad I could help.

Thanks for watching!

Hi Steven. Thanks for your kind words. It's your portfolio, so you are in full control of how you design it. There's no "right" way to create a photographer portfolio. All online book creation services provide you with features to fully customise as you need for your images. It is a fair amount of work to do but then so is anything in life worth doing. Best of luck with it.

Hey! Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Hi Katie! Thanks for your comment. Me? Probably not because I'll have my concentration face on most of the time :-) All joking aside, whether it's smiling, laughing, crying, anger, joy or any emotion, what I believe matters most is that it feels natural and authentic for your shoot and subject. The atmosphere that you create with your team and model plays a role in the mood you create on set for working with them. When a smile is spontanous and happens naturally, its a wonderul moment. Here's a beauty photograph that I just love and it all happened very organically: www.johnsansomphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/JohnSansom_Leta_11309.jpg I hope this helps!

@@JohnSansomPhoto Thank you, just one more thing. Would I move from pose to pose immediately or would I pause in one pose before moving into the next or would I wait to get told what pose I have to be in next xx

@@katiecrostoncooke As with most things in life, it depends. An experienced model will often change pose after each shot (listen for the camera shutter click or the flash ready sound, as a their prompt). Every photographer is different in their approach, just like each subject/model is a unique individual. If you are a new model the photographer should provide you with a lot of direction, support and guidance. If everyone on the team is new and just starting out, take the lead and start a conversation before you begin about what everyone is expecting. Communication is key to a succesful shoot. It's a team effort!

@@JohnSansomPhoto OK thankyou, I am a new model and I have my first ever shoot in Birmingham on Wednesday xx thankyou for the help

@@katiecrostoncooke You're welcome. That's wonderful news, I hope it goes well for you. Please remember to follow Social Distancing rules for everyones safety! Specifically, if the photographer needs to break the 2 meter limit they should wear a mask. Also, no hair stylist, makeup artist or fashion stylist, should come anywhere near you without wearing mask and gloves. (It might be a good idea to take some disposable masks along with you, just in case.) If your photographer is not familiar with the current shoot guidelines in response to Coronavirus, point them to Association of Photographers (AOP) website where there are comprehensive guidlines available freely for reference - www.the-aop.org/coronavirus-guidance Stay safe, have fun and good luck!

You're welcome!

Cheers!

Hey, thanks for your comment. You're welcome! How's learning Photoshop going? What creative projects are you currently working on?

@@JohnSansomPhoto lt's going okay, not working on any specific project, just try to shoot as much as I can, to get better at it.

@@Abel2670 good stuff! Same. I always try to keep on shooting regularly. Athletes have to train and practice often and it's no different for creatives.

Thanks for your comment! Nice one! Glad I could help.

Awesome! Glad you found it helpful.

Not sure I fully understand your question, I think you're asking - How many photos should you include in a portfolio? I'd suggest around 30-50 images but it really depends on who the clients are in your target market.

You're welcome! Got a question or something you would like to see in a future video, drop me a message.

Awesome! Glad to help. 8 hours editing, ouch. What were you working on?

You're welcome!

Thanks Steven!

Life is short right :-)

You're welcome! :-)

You're welcome!

Thank you Rigoberto! Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them in the next video.

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any more photoshop questions.

Thanks Sherwayne

Thanks Sherwayne. I'll be in touch with you shortly.

You're welcome! Glad you found them helpful. If you have any questions you'd like answered in a future video, drop me a message. Cheers!

Cheers Tim!

Thanks for your comment and kinds words, I appreciate it. You can find some the images from this shoot on my website here: www.johnsansomphoto.com/advertising/

NP! Straight to the point right! I don't do patience :-) How's learning Photoshop going? What creative projects are you currently working on?

Thanks! I appreciate it.

You're welcome!

Hey! Thank you for your kind words. Looks like I missed your question somehow, sorry about that. The size I went for was the Large Landscape.

You're welcome!

It's a photo book from Blurb.com so you can find all the pricing on their website. The layout I designed myself using Adobe InDesign. Blurb often run discounts it's good to watch out for those.

Hi Lisa. Good question. If your image has a non-uniform background, i.e. lots of unique visual content, then you may need to look at an alternative method or performing a composite -using background substitution. It really depends on the individual image and i'd be curious to see what you are working with. Yes, I do offer image retouching for select clients. Feel free to send your image over (using weTransfer for example) and I will take a look.

Thanks! I appreciate it. Look out for more BTS coming soon
