    I'm doing a rainy muddy winter shoot tomorrow, with a beautiful senior high school senior who looks just like this girl! I have been worried sick about the weather - but now I'm excited to take gorgeous photos. I always write jokes on my hands for when I want a huge sparkly smile. I love your poses and how you are bringing out the beauty in this subject. Thank you for this great inspiration!

    "I'll just leave it right here cuz we're just going a couple steps"
    Proceeds to walk an eternity away from her bag lol.
    Where you shoot must have zero crime. In most places if you went far from your belongings for even 5 minutes, you'd never see them again.
    Great vid, though. It was great seeing you interact with Jasmine. You genuinely seem to love shooting and that's great to see. Great stuff.

    After watching a previous video when you used the reflector I tried it on a shoot, but the sun got filtered through the trees. I do see the benefit of the handle for sure. Brought it to the next shoot, but my off camera flash did what needed to be done. But I will keep the dust of the reflector now :)

  • @boostedmaniac
    @boostedmaniac Před měsícem +1

    Please show the images longer than 1s!! It’s hard to take in the details when it’s flashed by so fast. I could pause, but I feel like I need Nintendo reflexes to catch it. Other than that, thanks for the BTS!

    Love this idea! QUESTION : Do you do senior shoots' year around? When do you do most shoots?

    • @HopeTaylor
      @HopeTaylor  Před 9 měsíci

      I do! I'd say there is a bit of a "slower" season in the winter (Dec-Feb) and the peak of summer here in the South - but the most popular times are spring (April/May) and summertime before their senior year!

  • @TorrancePollard
    @TorrancePollard Před 8 měsíci +2

    Thank you for sharing this video Hope.
    You’ve got your sessions nailed down, less than 40 minutes and you did the intro part.
    I do have a couple of questions…
    Do your sessions always go that fast?
    Seems like I shoot a lot longer cause I’m afraid I’m not going to give the client enough images.
    About how many images do you take and about how many do you edit?
    Thank you.

    • @HopeTaylor
      @HopeTaylor  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Thanks so much for watching! These are great questions.
      1. My sessions do not always go this fast! Typically, they are closer to 1-1.5 hours long. This client only had 2 outfit changes and we ended up having to move it around multiple times due to bad weather, which is why we did our best to work quick!
      2. I take anywhere from 500-800 images at a senior session and typically deliver 80-120 final images.
      I hope this helps!

    Hi! I watched some of your other videos when I found your channel. Just wondering how come you used a higher shutter speed here compared to 160 I think I just saw in another video? (with 250 ISO)
    Obviously, different settings for different environments but is it because tthe wind movement of the trees or to bring down the brightness? Just trying to get an idea on the jump from 100-160 to 800-1000? Thank you!

    @captaincook6283 Před 14 dny

    I don’t mean it bad but I’m really surprised that people actually pay for that it looks like an iPhone picture no background blur just minimum retouching and artificial positions which many people may consider not being represented by but apparently there is a market for that in your area :)

    • @HopeTaylor
      @HopeTaylor  Před 14 dny

      I can assure you that the Canon R6 and L series lenses do not create images that look like an iPhone and absolutely have background blur and retouching :) thanks for watching!
