Awesome video Tommy. I definitely learned something!

[@_tommykuo]

Awesome! Thank you Mitch!

[@fengwang3389]

Great tips! What I noticed in the video is that you check the LCD screen quite often. Sometimes the model continues to pose, only to find you stop shooting. I assume look at the LCD screen after a serie of photos would keep the flow going.

Great video man! Learnt a few things

[@_tommykuo]

Glad I could help! Thanks a lot man

[@christinawilson8085]

Is this on Summerhill Rd? 🤣

[@melodiesoflifeee]

Thanks for sharing! I love your stuff. Can I ask what is the purpose of the model moving into the photo? Instead of posing from the start? Particularly with the turtleneck shot
Edit: nvm I noticed you already responded to someone else who asked the same question!

[@_tommykuo]

Good question! It's all in the details. Some miniscule movements in the clothing, fingers, and hair give the photo 'life'

[@domstevens2851]

Thanks Tommy, I'm curious about how you have the model move into the pose just before you take the photo as opposed to having them stay in final pose for longer. I assume this is to make the final result more natural? Do you find any issues with this? i.e. focus not being dead on, unintended changes to the outfit e.t.c.?

[@_tommykuo]

The idea is to create movement in the photo, and the best way to do that is to actually have the subject move. I don't have focus issues if the movements are small and calculated
