I've been watching your videos all day, they are amazing! One of the best photography channels I have ever found on yt! Your imagination, creativity and knowledge are at an all time high! New subscriber here! Can I ask you what tripod you use? I saw you also use it for the RB67, the head is very special, the Slik AF2100 tripod head, I had never heard of it! How do you find it? And what do you use underneath the tripod? I would be very interested in that because I am also looking for a good tripod for RZ67 and 35mm. It would be a great help to me if you answered. Thank you in advance

just binged your channel and love your work and content <3 would love a video on how you built your brand and market yourself to do this full time - thank you!

They look underexposed. Next time use lower shutter speeds or open up your fstop by 1 to 2 stops.

I came here to say the same thing as @blackmind0 Sandbag on the tall leg, make sure it doesn't touch the ground, and C-stand arm in-line over the tall leg.

"A shoot I did just the other day." - may similar shoots continue to find you this year and beyond! It's so comforting watching you work your magic!

Beautiful work Ejatu! Saw some of these on IG they came out fantastic 🥹🙌

Great work Ejatu, as usual. very interesting content and photo subjects. is it hard to get the picture sharp? and what do usually use to focus the lense? when doing selfportrait? I know sometimes one can get a blurry selfportrait, but that can be used as a aesthetic resource. I've always been afraid of selfportrait (beside of cellphone selfies). I need to try and practice it more. Thanks for sharing your knowlodge. Greetings and love from Chile

😍😍😍😍😍😍

Loved the video, pictures turned out so nice! Could you tell me how you meter your shots outside and how you rate your film? :)

Gahhhhhh lee the ones of him on the rock with the storm rolling in behind him

When the photographer reads the assignment ❤📸

I think I saw 10 videos of you today and all of them were wonderful, relaxed, inspiration for my eyes and also not unimportant for me, because English is a foreign language for me, you speak a very "nice" English, if you can say so. The speech melody reminds me of the videos of ian hippolyte. you talk totally the same way... best regards BM.. :-)

some weight on the stands leg would be cool.. :-)

..you did a great job...congrats ....a nice place to work....🙂

I shoot almost exclusively on film. By not getting to see the image on the screen, I can avoid getting too perfectionistic with it. Also digital is extremely frustrating to me because of all the menus and stuff. It just bogs me down so much. Even the menus on my later nikon film camera (F70 I believe) are always in the way. I'm sure there are digital cameras that solve this issue but nah, I just want an aperture ring and a shutter speed dial. I'm really lucky that I bought my Nikon FM2 on a whim at this flea market in France. I didn't appreciate it enough when I got it but now it's my most trusted companion. Put a Nikkor 50mm f/2 on there and it's an absolute joy. When I got the Nikon, it came with this Vivitar 200mm tele lens which I rarely use but oh my gods does it feel great when I do. It's not what I'd call a good lens, nor a bad one. But a lens that big with metal consteuction makes your camera feel like a weapon. I have taken some pretty great pictures with it but it's an awkward focal length. Usually if things are far away, they're too far for the 200mm but otherwise it feels like most things are too close. Anyway, 50mm is my thing.

Great video, very useful. Thank you! 🙏🏾

This is stunning, I love the fashion editorial type shoots 🙂 How do you go about styling each outfit? Im interested to learn more about editorial prep, e.g working with a stylist vs sourcing the clothing independently x

Great year! 🎉

So lovely as always!! Would love to see an editing tutorial if you get the time :-)

Hi Ejatu. The shots of Preciuos in the headscarf with elements in the scarf matching her hair were very clever, those small details again from you that make a big difference. If a picture is good, its good, regardless of whats shot on. A wonderful session with the usual excellent styling and a model you work well with. Laters.

Hi Ejatu. You had a good year in 2024 and took a lot of images to be proud of. I liked seeing the pictures in this series at the end in print with nice layouts to go with them. Enjoy the rest of your week, laters.

Hi! Do you have any tips for shooting portraits in the winter? It’s very snowy here and I’m intimidated.

lolol the narration in the right channel throws me every time but please don't ever change it! i love your videos having such a signature

Nice work. And using the light stand to focus on seems to work. I am just not a fan of those backdrops. They are so stereotypical and have been used for decades.

I am strictly a film Schooter. It looks like your film camera has some light leaks. Doing a film vs digital is like comparing apples to oranges. You should compare the same medium on 2 different cameras. Example. A dslr to a mirrorless. A manual film camera to an automatic one. Digital cameras work for you with their histograms and white balance and raw or jpeg photoshop etc... It is a computer. Film camera you have to make them work for you.

question, do you add to your final product? like yk

love you work

This audio 😭 sorry for shouting

love the second look and the shot at 8:59 ! nailed the comparison side by side

Really love your work!

oh yeaah !!

love this!

This was also such a great day!

It’s meeee 😂❤❤

I love the indoor flash shots and the individual portraits outside, so nice!👏

I love the energy in these frames you captured My favorites are the detail shots, and the shots that really lean into the motion blur Those really put you right in front of the subject Incredible work as usual, Ejatu

Nice work and congrats on the mag. Long live film. It's all I schoot.

I loved this episode! The editorial style fit you so well!

Great video as always Ejatu! 🙌 Love these photos, hope you’re having a lovely 2025 so far! 🫂

Sooooo awesome, congrats

As a photographer, I forget how diverse our field of work can be and that there’s no need to limit myself to just one thing if work is coming from all directions. It feels so refreshing to see content from the different things you do :) Very inspiring!

Such a great video! May 2025 be even greater!❤

amazing. thank you for sharing. Really love the editorial work.

Always love seeing your process! Do you know where I can find a cable release cord like yours in the uk?

What a year 🙌

Wishing you more success and joy and meaning and purpose in your work.

Wish list

Love to see how far you've come. Keep it up. 💪🏾

Great shots and cool video. Keep up the good work.

What kind of tripod is it?
