    Two of my favorite photographers together!
    Funny story, I started taking Taylor Jackson's classes over youtube/patreon and stuff when starting my business, then he randomly popped by me when I was working a small kiosk in a Las Vegas mall. A few years later I'm happy to say I have been paying all of our family's bills with just my wedding business, over 300 weddings done. This stuff is so awesome. Thanks for the content man, you helped change our lives.

    I enjoyed this! loved the comment where he said "If i'm not saying anything, assume that you're doing what I want you to do." I had trouble explaining that to people before or I usually explain it later in the shoot. Doing this straight off the bat will put them at ease.

    I'm a new subscriber and damn....it feels like I should be paying for a lot of your content. Incredibly useful information that doesn't feel like a rehash of the same topics other channels churn out ad infinitum. Sam got some fantastic shots. Great stuff.

    Love this lens, i have the sigma trio of f1.4 lenses and the 18 to 50 f2.8 i have no native lens at the moment. Use it with the XT2 and XT3 for portrait shoots and wedding photos and videos, i love the price quality ratio you get with the sigma lenses. The 18-50 is an awesome video lens, slap a variable ND filter on wnd your good till it is dark, then switch to the 1.4 primes

    Tip: when you try to position your models on the border of the shade, but like a few centimeters from this border, ask them to look at their shadows and move back until they disappear.
    Also when you want your model to have the sun directly in their back, ask them to turn their nose in the direction created by their shadow.
    Simple, foolproof methods, you explain it once, then you just ask to "disappear your shadow" or for "nose to to shadow" and it's done :)

    Pretty easy to handle bad light when you can direct your subjects. Would love to see how that Sam Hurd guy handles bad light during ceremonies, where half of the people are in direct sunlight and the couple is in the shade.
