  • I can't believe it's been a year already on CZcams! It's been so much more fun and interesting that I ever anticipated. Over the year I've released nearly 60 videos, with my intent being to release at least 52.
    The channel exploded to me in early June when I shared a simple OCF explanation video featuring Maddie...the same model as in this video.
    I went from 800 subscribers in early June to now over 7,000. Amazing!
    I'm looking forward to next year and all that it brings. I'll be releasing a Podcast too. You should be able to find it on CZcams initially as well!
    Thank you all so much for watching this year and I hope you choose to stick around for Year 2!!!

    I found you a couple days ago and I've just been binging your videos. It's giving me motivation to get out there are start working with people. I've always been extremely shy and introverted so I've struggled with asking people to model for me. You showing your thought process and how you interact with your models has given me some confidence to get out there and ask people to model.
    Thank you so much for your videos! I'm excited to see you grow your channel!

      Thank you so much! So check this out. I would also consider…if you’re struggling to reach out to models…this still involves reaching out. But start building a group of models you can go to frequently. This will eventually lead to having a group that knows you and vise versa! That helps!

    Great content. Found you when I searched for help with lighting. You’re in SA, too! Also, I know Maddy’s dad Mike. One of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

    I really appreciate your live shoots - you get right down to it, with a good balance of showing the process & sharing the edited photos. I've tried watching many other photographer's portrait youtubes and honestly most are irritating - too much talk & not enough action. I'm looking forward to what you will produce in 2024 - congratulations!

    I like you because you are a photographer who also posts CZcams videos about what you do. Unlike others who are CZcamsrs that do some photography. Just keep photography as your main focus (and not CZcams) and I will keep watching.

    I started my photography journey over a year ago and I found your channel shortly after I started....LOVE THE VIDEOS and the instructional content is top notch. Your videos are easy and fun to watch. I cannot wait to see what 2024 holds for you and actually inspires me to start my own youtube channel.

    Congrats on the growth! Good idea with bringing back the model who blew up the channel.
    I actually like that you don’t have a lot of cinematic b-roll. That can get distracting and overly long quickly. Focusing on the teaching then demonstrating by shooting is where it’s at.
    I’d love to know what was that wheeled base thing you used to move the c-stand around? C-stands are great for stability but are a pain to move on location. So it was cool to see you roll one around so easily.

    Awesome channel and hope all the best for you! One thing that would be nice to add to your videos is flash power settings when you show your camera settings.

    • @J.Allen_Photography
      @J.Allen_Photography  Před 7 měsíci +2

      Thanks for watching! Yeah I used to add the flash power, but it will vary so much for other people depending on so many factors, that I started leaving it out.
      Maybe I can show that sometime and why it varies.

      Thank you!
      The flash power. In some older videos I was adding it, but it will vary so much from user to user that it just doesn’t make sense for me to add it.
      Depending on flash power, distance from subject, size of softbox, and so much more. Thats why I decided to start leaving it out.

  • @briandowns990
