As a side gig I worked at a local college at a photo technician. The teaching staff tried to get me to teach the students lighting, production, darkroom etc. I refused I was there to be a technician and I wasn't sharing my recipes. It was mainly because the college teaching staff were useless and clueless, one being a former sports teacher the other being a former English teacher that did photography as a hobby. Yes the innocent, naïve BTEC students were being taught by hobbyists! They were trying to sub contract their job onto me so they could sit in the office drinking coffee, chatting and drawing the big salaries. Anyway once I'd clocked what was going on I just did technician stuff, they didn't like it ! So yes keep your workstyles and secrets to yourself.
This sounds eerily familiar.
I have done the exact same thing multiple times. The leaches will always leach
Really like this format, I'm doing busy work whilst I watch you do busy work haha. It's kinda like a photographic 'mukbang' or something
BEST video I've seem from You so far, nothing like you being yourself. Honest, humble, simple and practical. Keep It going.
Really good to see a CZcamsr be honest about wanting to protect their trade secrets on lighting - it’s your IP 💪🏻.
Great videos - thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏
I really like that the little pauses in between aren't edited out.
Hi Scott, really liked this format, it's like spending time with someone who shares the same passion for photography
Glad you enjoyed it!
Reality based point:
The part about making more money doing Photography or CZcams.
- In the LOG RUN, is there longevity in CZcams, Eventually (possibly quite quickly) you'll run out of ideas, or if you're not actively shooting commercially you'll loose touch a bit too.
- Actual photography is always needed.
So yeah, keep up both.
Love your videos, mate. Everything amateurs should know but can't be bothered learning and you give it to 'em right between the eyes.
You’re really good at this! Thanks for the content you produce! 🙏🏻
Awesome vid! After binging the rest of your video's last couple of months, I like this format a lot! Thanks
Big fan of the format. Especially since it's able to cover a range of small things across many different topics but all great info!
loved it, please do more!
Enjoyed this format, fun and instructive.
Hey Scott, I loved this format. Relaxing and a great watch as I have lunch.
Another great and practical video. Many many thanks.
The video format is dope!! Keep up the great content!
Retired museum director here, toying with the idea of pro photography. Just sold my whole Canon R5 kit for Fujifilm xT3 job with good glass. You have a genuine gift of teaching, thank you for sharing insights of your profession. And... I certainly hope someone has established some portraits of your fabulous form, very statuesque you are. Carry on.
lot's of interesting insights. Keep it up.
Glad to hear you had a chance to relax man. This video reminds me what I love and hated about being an assistant+freelancer. Organizing gear, cleaning kits, prepping for a shoot, that was all so calming (side note: a good assistant would have totally noticed the battery issue IMO). But I hated being over worked, which eventually caused me to burn out and leave the industry for a 2 year hiatus. Switched to being a staff photo/videographer, and while doesn't give me the crazy creative rush freelancing used to, it completely helped my work life balance.
I can related to this very much
Hair is looking great
I agree with everything you talked about. Its a good casual feeling format the odd jobs work and Q&A type ramble.
I enjoyed this "stream of consciousness". No idea what all the stuff is for or what all the people on one of your shoots are doing, but your joy about your work is infectious. Your streams have extra value because you are facing and solving practical and business issues every day - don't give up the photography.
Really liked this!
Watching this while putting away all my studio gear after a shoot, very appropriate, there's something very catharctic about goung from shoot chaos to tidyness
great video and found it oddly relaxing listening to Q&A while watching you label your gear haha! Always love the honesty in your vids and interesting with the mix of creative and business in your videos
This format is great! Bit long (as you said) but actually really relaxing and informative. You answered a couple of questions that I’ve been asking in my head so enjoyed that very much.
I don’t think I’d watch these length videos as often, if that’s all you did, as often I come to CZcams when I’m having a break from doing other things and have found I really enjoy a 5-8min video. But enjoyed this tonight instead of watching telly so thanks for that 👍🏼
I like this new format.
Great Video . Thanks
I use silver/grey gaff tape, it sticks and stays on better, and sharpie friendly.
I enjoy your shorter videos. This info was interesting! I did other stuff while listening. Thanks for sharing!
wow, I'm amazed that the hair grew back. gives me hope. ☺ I wonder if needs to grow back in a certain time frame or something..
Haha great thumbnail. I clicked this video just to hear 28:25
But I'll be adding this to my watch later to digest the info.
I do like your shorter videos very much. I can watch them anytime. I do like this longer video also. It has a lot of information and is peaceful to watch. Information that doesn't seem like I'm in a race car. I can't afford Broncolor, but love the lights. I did just get a FujiFilm GSX100S and was interested in what you said. I love commercial photography, but currently do portrait type work. I live in a huge wine producing area and would like to provide great winery product shots. I love your information. The best part is the real life, honest comments you make. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
content is nice, like a podcast type, wouldn't mind if it was longer, you are an inspiration sir :) , cheers from Greece
I love the raw truth from this guy.
Thanks!
24:27 i know i asked this in a another video that you should it off but how do you connect that to lights, I know this isn't a tutorial channel but I thought you maybe showed how to do connect lights to it, 31:33 where do you get them batteries from? I do like this format as well as ones you do like the one you did yesterday
I like this format! It would work great as a live Q&A as well. If it's not too much hassle to setup your YT camera rig for live, then it could save you the editing.
What is the battery pack you connected to the stand please?
Loved the video I watched all the way through. I was just wondering if you could explain why you were going to use a nikon for one shoot? I wasnt sure if dirty reason is because you needed to match the color from the brand or a different reason.
going to bet there's a lifestyle aspect & color has to match between sets. But Nikon seems an odd choice for Scott.
Regarding the Fuji I would guess that you have more flexibility with your lenses due to the larger sensor (you gain on the wide-angle side with the Cambo Actus). Higher Resolution you could get with some FF models (like from Sony), or with a Phase One, but the Fuji GFX 100 seems to be a good option for a reasonable price.
wish my hair would grow back! great vid. cheers.
Nice video! Where do you get your used gear from. Want a c stand avenger etc. but can’t find any on eBay
I get Avenger C-Stands from B&H in the U.S. Adorama also has some good C-Stands. I like the Avenger C-Stands best, but do have some Digital Juice versions too. C-Stands are hard to find used since they last forever.
Hi, can you do a video on why you hate Mirrorless evf? Very curious considering nearly everyone says otherwise
Now I'm curious to know the many dirty reasons to use a Nikon... Loved this format, btw
Ive used both as long as i have a viewfinder in ok an lcd screen only design doesn't work for me'
…but isn’t it a joy being able to see so much detail with high res?
re: 100mpx editing: (it's probably a PEBCAK issue) I recently upgraded to a gfx100 as well and have found I need to be much more careful in photoshop with my masking due to the space between some auto-masking and inversions leaving nasty spaces. Otherwise, agree with all the other benefits of the upgrade
I'm 100% with you on EVFs. They are abysmal to have to use for composition.
Is it the refresh rate? Is it buggy? Im just curious. Ive never looked through one of those.
I dont think so, its just a worst representation of real life.
I ditched Fro. He's just a loud mouthed new gear promoter. I've learned so much more watching this channel. Your lighting tutorials are just incredible! I also cannot stand mirrorless viewfinders.
Fro has been insufferable for almost as long as he's had a platform.
Having worked for both Jaguar and Jaguar sport, I can fully understand why clients don’t want unsolicited personal around.
Is this a Groebli in the background?
Can you share with us the computer equipment you use? My wife uses MAC and she is looking to replace it, possibly with another MAC, but Just the stand for the screen she is looking at is £1700!!!!
Very listenable, keep format. Some people can speak well on camera and some cannot.
A Sunlite takes that much time to make?
Assume it only takes a few hours, but they need enough orders to turn the machine on to make it cost effective
Friend of mine is selling his Softlighter for dumb cheap....but Ihave no-where to put the monstrosity.
I want one, I have the sunlight reflector base and love it, I just need the top part but they are like hens teeth. And when I do find one the shipping to Australia is extortionate.
You will know Bri at the flash centre.
you bought the wrong Fuji camera. The GFX100 is he one for you, not the 100S. the EVF is on a different level and you can get an EVF attachment to give you greater viewing angle flexibility
I'm just here predicting that gaffers tape leave its sticky residue everywhere 😅
Based on the clothing you wear in your videos I assume you keep the studio rather cool. Or perhaps freezing 🥶
It’s usually about 22 degrees, but my heating it loud so I turn it off when filming audio haha, by the end of the days it’s pretty cold
@@TinHouseStudioUK I follow quite a few pro photographers to which you are near the top. 👍
Funny you mentioned not sharing light setups and techniques. the music industry is the same.. many people give away what makes them money cause they have no business going and they are desperate or attention online. I have the least engagement on my socials, but every local photographer follows me and I start to see them tailing my clients and taking my ideas and benefiting off them. I have a real unique life, and I think the mentality is a narcissist one online now days. If I say I grew up In Hawaii, nobody cares, they want to go on vacation there and have everyone watch THEM in that island...) One lady actually asked me technical questions, took the tools I found and profited off it. All they do is party, and take ideas. I stopped sharing so much, because if it doesn’t have hot girls or models, and flexing money, people don’t care on social media. People don’t want to know you unless your successful, rich or are a hot girl.
Thumbs up from me.
I stayed to hear about the hair transplant.
It took me 6 months before i could stand an electronic viewfinder. I still dont love it, its too digital. My D850 still feels wonderful over my Z9
Glad its not just me!
Switching from optical to digital viewfinders may be difficult to get used to for some, but I'm a video guy and have used electronic viewfinders for over 40 years. It's just a way of viewing an image. So is the image on Capture One and the computer. The electronic viewfinders are much better today than the early low resolution ones. Now that I'm older, I do miss the large viewfinders of the Hasselblad medium format cameras. I could see the subjects expression in the viewfinder. I can't see that much detail in the smaller viewfinders of 35mm cameras. But, then I'm used to the 5 or 7 inch viewfinders of broadcast TV cameras. I think it is just something to get used to. Does anyone remember the ground glass of a 4x5 or 8x10 view camera?
@@sidestreetvideoproduction7278 yes, during the 80s and 90s i lugged around 2 suitcases. One was with a sinar F1 5by 4 camera, bellows and lenses and the other filled with about fifty darkslides.
Mirrorless cameras have an element of the 'Emperor's New Clothes' about them, largely for the benefit of the manufacturers! Ever was it thus!!
Sir I hv a question for all photographers when relocating to a another country, how will one pack c-stands and others. For example one might be relocating to south Africa.
alopecia
So what u show, is not what u do 😮
Click bait (I came to learn about the hair transplant)
YES YES YES, EVFs are awful. so many pros to mirrorless, especially for weddings but EVFs ... god awful.
AI, over the next 10 years, will change photography unlike anything else that has happened since the invention of photography. Is photography doomed? No, but 10 years from now you won't recognize it.
