Alright, welcome back to I guess another video I haven't posted in a bit but tonight we're actually going to be taking engagement photos. It's going to be a lot of fun So I'm taking two lenses with me a Sigma Art 351.4 and then the 7200-220. I love starting with the 7200 and then putting on the 35 once my couples are kind of warm up. So we're going to be doing it kind of more in a green area, lots of trees forest than we might be going downtown after. So I'm going to show you all of the scenes tonight. Just a casual video showing you how I caught these photos and just everything about that. So let's go take off, take some awesome photos at their clients. I'll see you there. Alright so for this scene we are out in a park and we have a backlit scene here with beautiful sun coming in. Now I'm exposing further skin because we have shadows in the background. We don't have a bright skyline, we don't have bright clouds or anything so you can really afford to expose correctly for your camera. So I'm focusing on her eyes and for the beginning of the show I'm saying hey guys talk about what you're excited for for the future or I'll ask a question who proposed for obviously most of the time for the camera photos. But what I mean is like what was the first thing that was going clear in your mind when you first met? Who said I love you first? And this really gets some talk between each other, giggling, remembering why they love each other because most of the time they've been dating for two years, five years, eight years, so they kind of forget about the beginning stages. So I like to kind of play 21 questions and then instead of them talking to me, they're talking to each other about my questions and then I lightly engage if they are talking to me. Now with these photos I'm zooming in around 85 to 200 and I like to get nice and close and get as much compression and these are kind of some of the photos that we're overlying here and yeah. Better yeah I love that. Awesome maybe you can kind of post-posed you guys you guys this great side just for relaxing in the moment. Alright for this one I'm zooming in 135 shooting to those trees that are just above them and frame them between the hanging leaves. I really like doing this in a lot of my photography. I love to be a tad creative and I've had motion blur in front and then you still are very up close and personal in your clients. Motion's not like a big wide shot. I'm not shooting a 35 millimeter standing that far back. I'm whenever I do landscape photos I like to be pretty perfect with the semi-200. I really get that that feeling that compression of the scene but still like boom popping and then if I shoot with 35 I like to get closer and then have more of the scene coming to the camera so that's kind of the difference there. You can take a look at each other. See both like Scotch, people, beer people, wine. So the difference here is that when I was shooting with my 35 millimeter up close it was kind of only capturing the shadows. There was very boring plain photo. Nothing really popped. There wasn't a lot of big pop of warm pimps in the sun. However when I backed up, put out my 7200 I was shooting through these trees and if you look closely there's like a more orange yellow looking leaf text like turning color to the fall. The rest is green. When I put that on the bottom of my frame the left the frame. As the sun hits it it looks like a magical glow and if I make that the frame the bottom left the photo the top left the photo. It adds a beautiful element to this scene where as when I was shooting with my 35 millimeter up close there's nothing possessing the photo. There's nothing creative. There's just a boring nice photo of them to look at the camera. Still beautiful but when I come up here it adds more of a style to the photography and I really enjoyed a lot more. That's kind of what I'm looking out for and it's good to do a balance of both because sometimes you're trying to want that boring photo that's even lighting for the bridge for a moment that for printing that night it's really important to add as your photography to add more style which I'm always looking to do a balance of both. Love it. Now you guys can face each other. Now if you're left hand you can hold either his neck or his chin and kind of snuggle into him and then you can wrap up with your hands around your hip. Just your left and you can lower a little bit. Yeah just like that. You got me a little closer. I go ahead to forehead. I need to close your eyes for a second. I want you to imagine 20 years from now if you're a beautiful family or beautiful phone you're amazing together. You can hold up your eyes and go in for a second. So for this scene I got them sitting down but you can tell it in the five little prompts I tell them to do. I'm allowed to get a lot of versatile looks but then just even 30 seconds. So I say look at each other. Both look to your left. Both look to your right. All right now just Aaron you can look into your eyes or right now you lean into your forehead as she's still looking into the sky. Now look at each other and that's exactly each other. You can tell that if you do that you can get a lot of different emotions going on and a lot of different looks in a short span even though it's one sitting down seat. All right so now we are going to be adding some movement into our photography. It's lots of fun to your clients dancing around. So I talked to this little prompt where they do two steps going for a twirl on my pacing stuff. I mean do three steps and then they go in for a hug. It's not going to go and I tell them to go creative but it's just a premise and this always that's been bigling. Having fun it shows movement, it captures energy and it's not just them standing in a field. It's them having fun together and it shows off their personality as a couple. Now we're having the last bit of sun before it sets next to this amazing sun before we're heading to the photos, adding comic crafts and add a really good to where the sun is going to highlight and get a lot of the black darker. So I really blow and always a nice tip is focus on their eyes with the sun literally behind their and then hold the focus and then move and let the sun peek in or behind them. If you go on continuous focus mode sometimes I can help or to single depending. Go between the single and you like better. It is going to be challenging. If you want to pick your up for this but not this one, the sun is coming up. The bad stuff where progress is when you become better photographer you'll be able to do it. But yeah I had awesome something to do with this next and I thought it was a solution. I'm more of a person. I'm a vertical photographer so I find I love shooting my camera for photos like this. Now we're shooting more sun-set photos but now I was shooting for some of the green and parts of the tree to add elements to the foreground and shooting at 300 every day. I just put it there and it's going to look like a 70 and then tomorrow I'll watch out. Really? We got it guys. I don't do a lot of these with the standards but smile at the camera and I've done a lot of human career except that is too cliche but it actually is kind of important to do it at least twice throughout the shoot especially if there's two outfits because the worst is on a wedding day you don't have one nice let's look at the camera and smile it's nice to have that especially with the dogs it's going to be their family photo and they go bonkers for it and you know it might not look hith and pull in your Instagram feed it's awesome to include. Loan be hold that I've now used some trees as foreground so having that be really frames nicely and then there's another bee angel left. It's really fun to be creative in shoot movies and you can really learn new composition especially with the variables in like the 70 to 100 or 24 to 70 now I love my 70 to 100 and 85 would be great or 135 I like to use more perceptions but yeah as you can see tonight I use the 70 to 100 quite a bit. you be sure to join the only look Facebook group as well because I have posted a lot more beyond the scenes and more free presets awesome content there and I want you guys to be able to get that access so join below it's the first link and if you guys have any questions drop them below I had a lot of fun on this shoot it was fun to bring just two lenses I've been doing that a lot for my engagement shoots and it's really fun to go between the two and if you guys have any questions I'd love to answer them drop them below any questions about gear settings how they edited them and kind of what I said during the shoots or anything else you desire to see on this channel I'm excited to be posting more sharing more I've had a lot of time to reflect on what I want to be sharing on this channel I'm excited to post more and so I'll see you guys in the next video feel free to subscribe and like if you're new around here to do like to have good time good vibes and coffee especially which my buds go get so without further ado take these you guys and I'll see you in the next one
