Is it bad that I’m more impressed by the video of the model than the photos themselves? 😆 the dof, the contrast, the clarity, the way the sun hits the camera but nothing changes image-quality-wise these are more impressive for me 👏🏼👏🏼
Great work and great model. Thanks for telling me about how a low aperture can sometimes only make the iris in focus with a longer focal length. Never knew that.
Hi! First off, anyone who's willing to devote their time to helping others is awesome! Thanks for putting a video like this together, you explaining depth of field relative to how close you are to the model seems to often get overlooked. A few bits I'd like to mention, please don't take these negatively, you're awesome! You mention not shooting at your camera's widest aperture, you meant the lens right? When you're showing the example of you shooting multiple photos, the second photo appears over text I could not read? Not sure if that was just me or what. Looks like some footage was shot in higher frame rates and to me that gives the video a bit of a less professional look. You obviously know what you're doing when it comes to photo so not sure if maybe it was a stylistic choice? I see a lot of folks shooting using the rear lcd as a viewfinder, and you mention having atleast one point of contact to your body; are you really able to get sharp images like that? I'm genuinely curious, not trying to troll or anything. I struggled getting sharp images when I was starting out and quickly found the 3 point of contact method was the only way I could get consistent results. Thanks for taking your time to make educational videos! Have an awesome day !
5:55 This is the tip I needed! I run into this problem a lot and it does seem to happen when I'm really close to my subject. Thank you, will try this out!
This was one of my first videos from your channel. I immediately subscribed! Your teaching style was very good. I particularly liked the way you put the points in order. Well done.
Thanks so much for this -how to-. i think its a great lesson for beginners! and big thanks for releasing your raw-files. i just edit alot of them :) makes so much fun! Alex
Wow thank you from a newbie trying to learn her nikon d3400 and get into taking pics in manual 💕 I just SUBSCRIBED Not because you asked...FINALLY I found a youtube video that breaks it down so I can clearly understand and go out practice with these settings...thank you so much and God blessed 🙏
at 3:35, the left image iso100 seems to be slightly out of focus, so actually the iso5000 image turned out somewhat better. But of course we get the point :)
Great vid ! Could you do a start to finish on how to use photoshop editing part ? I’m new to this and tried shooting yesterday and pics were garbage lol .
9:54 maybe you don't know, but if you hold shift the "open image" turns into "open object" and you open the pic as an advanced object in PS, meaning that if you double click on it you can later come back to the original camera raw file and keep changing settings there. Otherwise you can't and are forced to start all over again in case you forgot to change something
Nice video. Are you hand holding an LED panel at @6.20? Wouldn't that also mean you can still get a good level of exposure at a lower ISO and have increased contrast straight out of camera?
I’m not sure why it isn’t talked about, but I typically don’t care for low aperture lenses for portraiture. F2.8 is more than enough and sometimes too shallow to get sharp detail.
I do use both z6 and z7 the 85 1.8s is amazing sharp, I have the 105 1.4e and is one of my favorite, but I would like if he can provide raw files to see if the lack of sharpness that I notice is my resolution or something else
My best tips is to shoot in burst mode and use smaller aperture like F/4. You may sacrifice your shallow depth of field and not getting that much blur but if your photos aren't so sharp and often lose focus, then what's the point of taking photos? Don't be afraid to experiment with the aperture. You don't have to worry about very shallow depth of field if your composition is good. There's a lot you can do than just only use widest aperture all the time.
I think in this shot you were holding the camera too high, this having the effect to make a bigger head and less hips, witch gives an impression of not being true to gravity and the way a human body works and articulates. I agree with everything else and the advices you give in this video, and the picture is otherwise beautiful, with colour in the background and a huge demonstration of the DR of that camera. As for post sharpness, I prefer to copy layer and use the shake reduction filter (even when there is no shake to reduse) and use that layer at a % I adjust only by looking, or localise it to several areas. I like that you did not overdo it. Sometimes softness is sweet too. Sharpness or softness is a question of INTENT, and story telling too.
get some portable stand lighting gear a soft box or brolly . learn how to ballance your lighting after exposing for the backgroumd . BooOOOOooom game on
Hi I am wedding photographer in Mumbai. When shooting moving subjects during wedding event. when I view the pics they are grainy and also tried to reduce the noise in photoshop I don't get satisified result. Tell Where I am wrong.
If you're images are grainy, then most likely you need more light. It sounds like your compensating with higher ISO or by pushing exposure in post. Since your photographing moving subject I would try not to compromise on shutter speed, but lower shutter speed could help and you may like the motion blurred result!
And if you wanna to achieve proper scooter speed and law ISO you have to have a good lightning. All in all if you don't have good lightning all that what you mentioned you cannot achieve.
This is a really nice video. Your model is pro? She very much acts it, either way. Her reaction to your asking her to drop a button was funny. Your retouches are well done, though you lost me on the eyelash/brow edits, as I didn't see enough difference to warrant them. Your content that I've seen is well rounded, if a bit rushed, and has great depth. This one vid taught me quite a bit, actually!
Thanks for the critique, I try to keep the videos fast-paced to keep them interesting, but I've heard a few times that I talk a bit too fast, so I'll work on that
Bach Photography 'talk fast', yeah, 'talk too fast'...? I don't know about that. I hit the back arrow if I miss something or want to hear it again. Far more important is consistent audio!👍
I really enjoy your videos, your models are beautiful as well but I can't see thata your lens are really sharp, not that sharpness are the most important but you mention that A LOT, in your videos
Sorry about that! Step 1) Use the laso tool to make a selection of the place you want to keep sharp 2) Press SELECT -> INVERSE 3) FILTER -> BLUR -> GAUSSIAN BLUR 4) Move selection a bit and repeat
Your ISO point is not correct. Higher ISO allows one to increase shutter speed. There is enough range of ISO between the two extreme you said. 100 to 5600. 400 to 800 ISO today are normal and they produce sharper image.
@@BachPhotography How you get a sharper image when there is LOWER light? And a flash may not be appropriate or available? The issue is which ISO range? Image with a slight grain is better than a blurred image. And a sharper image can be had by increasing the ISO, thereby gaining higher shutter speed as a distinct possibility, as an enabler.
@@vimalneha unfortunately, some cameras don't do well in a high ISO setting. Especially, camera that already crop and doesnt allow alot of light in. As a beginner, most people are shooting with older model but good cameras, but also do not do well with high ISO settings. Of course, sometimes you have to sacrifice some high iso and grain in some cases. However, in this video there were no reason for him to use high ISO which is why he made those suggestions, I'm sure. Alot of new cameras, have the ability to do amazing in high ISO settings.
I just realised that some of the photos at around 1:55 got messed up during editing... Sorry about that!
When I first watched I thought it was how you did the video - I think it worked hahaha
Good choice of location, Docklands

I didn't know about raw plugin until i saw your video, always used lightroom, thanks a lot for another great informative video.
Excellent videos. Very well spoken and professionally laid out in a clear and concise fashion. Thank you sir, masterclass.
Probably the most usable video I have seen. Worth subscribing.
Amazing video. Great tips. Thank you very much 👌🏻

Excellent tips especially shooting in continuous mode due to camera shake.
Loved your video. You’re well spoken and easy to listen to when learning. Thank you 🙏
so much informative!
around 6:20 you are using your phone above you camera, what for?
It's really helpful. thank you
very nice, simple and clear!

Would you please provide the link to the portable LED light you're using?
Love your videos man this one is another banger.... But the thing you Kept referring to as eyelashes.... Are eye brows 😂😘
well thought about content and structured really well and easy to follow. Just gained a new sub :)
gOOD !

Yes you could do that but the LED makes it easier to edit later :)
Amazing lesson ....just you missed the focus sistem...Thanks!
Whats that continuous light you were using called?
Wonderful information! Are the photo edits you mentioned only available when shooting in RAW?
I don’t use Lightroom but very informative, subscribed !
Thanks for subscribing :)
I’m not sure why it isn’t talked about, but I typically don’t care for low aperture lenses for portraiture. F2.8 is more than enough and sometimes too shallow to get sharp detail.
What’s the best time to shoot on a sunny day for the softest light?
Golden hour 5-7p
You are my hero.
The new Nikon Z Lenses are ultra sharp wide open ..Love them ..in the past I agree with you ..stopping down a stop or 2 for sharpest results
Peter Betts there are some amazingly sharp lenses out there these days, the sigma art series is another great set
I do use both z6 and z7 the 85 1.8s is amazing sharp, I have the 105 1.4e and is one of my favorite, but I would like if he can provide raw files to see if the lack of sharpness that I notice is my resolution or something else
She is amazing.
Are you from the UK and if so do you teach photography on day tutorials?
Great tips for sharper images! You had a model who enjoyed her work as well...can I ask where the photo shoot was taking place?i
As a local, I can tell you this was around Docklands in Melbourne

Roger Newport thanks for letting me know
Do you have any tutorial on how to shoot in golden hour and the the technical aspects?

what are you holding there at 6:00? is it a mini reflector?
Its a Yong Nuo YN300 LED light, link in description I think
Reakil good seajstikon thankes
As a professional Im in love with the model. Truly gorgeous.
Which lens did you use for this shoot?
settings?
Very nice video 👍👍
Thank you Singhanagat :)
Which one is sharpest aperture
Jaga Jaga depends on the lens but normally about F6.3
Can you use the sharpening tool non destructively? If yes, how?
Check out frequency seperation!
Great vid
Thanks Serge!
How did you get so much sharp with just 1.4?! What sensor size do you shoot?
And btw ;), best vid on the subject till now! keep it up, excellent job!

Figured it was hate it when that happens thanks for the tutorial
I really enjoy your videos, your models are beautiful as well but I can't see thata your lens are really sharp, not that sharpness are the most important but you mention that A LOT, in your videos
It might help if the model would stop blushing and be still as well.
this is what my uncles eye sees when he have hangover
Her hair looked better washed out as it was. Much more natural. The local contrast looked fake against the rest of the image
Je ne comprend pas pourquoi les jambes coupées a une si belle fille un 50 mm sinon rien
Dude your model is absolutely gorgeous. I kinda forgot why i click on this video for a second.
I didn't understand how you did the blur background effect 11:10-11:20. You did it too quickly.
Sorry about that!
Step 1) Use the laso tool to make a selection of the place you want to keep sharp
2) Press SELECT -> INVERSE
3) FILTER -> BLUR -> GAUSSIAN BLUR
4) Move selection a bit and repeat
@@BachPhotography I am wondering why you move the selection around and why it's so loose around the subject. What does that accomplish?
first take a very "sharp" model, then a "sharp" photographer and endly any camera with a "sharp" lens ;)
Sharpest aperture? Don’t you mean lowest so more light will go in?
im getting really distracted by the model haha
I want access to the hot models
I could shoot those legs all day
