5 CRUCIAL Photography Tips From Celebrity Photographer

[@kennymcleish]

I love hearing about the human element of portrait photography. How you build rapport, what direction you give, how you vary your approach on a long shoot vs a five minute one, what you talk about, what you avoid.

[@fredandharryborden]

Thanks again for the comment. We hopefully have a video coming out soon where I assisted Harry on a shoot and we get to see him in action which could cover some of this. But will defo make a separate video as well. 😁

[@joedlafferty]

@@fredandharrybordenlook forward to that!

[@harleyjaffar]

Thank you so much for making these videos, they are so incredibly helpful. Also that’s one of my favourite pieces of music, so thank you for that too.

[@fredandharryborden]

You're so welcome! Thanks a lot for the comment and support 😁

So much credibility here! So generous to share your hard won experience at the very highest level of the profession so freely and clearly for everyone to benefit. Thank you.

[@fredandharryborden]

So glad you enjoyed, thank you so much! Plenty more videos on the way 😁

[@martinlawrence8427]

Great advice...your channel is a hidden gem...destined for a much wider audience!

[@fredandharryborden]

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed. We hope so!

All this is REALLY GOOD advice. Building a database is essential. Often either you need to put your fingers n a shot while you are working on a project or someone might ask you if you have anything. You need to locate the image witin a reasonable time without having to turn your huse over to find it. - Loving your videos. keeping me on my toes again.

[@fredandharryborden]

Definitely. Get started early with it and it makes it a whole lot easier

[@MarlonSardini]

Love the content. The advice about backups is crucial, and is by no means limited to digital images. Your hard drives WILL fail in one way or another. Always follow the 3-2-1 rule, have 3 copies on at least 2 different media and 1 offsite.

[@johnupper5225]

It is preposterous that your vids have so few views. Keep it up, and the world will catch up.

[@fredandharryborden]

Means a lot thank you! Glad you enjoy the vids...

[@bala1000mina]

Very much appreciated Harry for sharing your precious tips with the world! very helpful for me! God bless and good luck!

[@fredandharryborden]

Glad it was helpful!

Another great video, I’m really enjoying the channel. Fred, any chance you could ask Harry what binders he uses to store those negatives. I’ve yet to find one that fits perfectly in a Kallax unit like that. Ha.

[@fredandharryborden]

Harry begun using A4 binders but it didn't make sense since it didn't fit all his negatives' sizes. The ones featured in the video are cheap knock-off "kenro ring binder negative holders"!

[@KevinRusso]

That's a really literal take on the Robert Cappa Quote. I believe he meant to really know your subjects, and understand why you are there making the images. Have some skin in the game.

[@hartgetzen7867]

😊Another perfect video. Good music choice, too. Thank you! Most valuable channel I watch on KZbin.

[@fredandharryborden]

Wow, thank you!

[@ddimento8790]

Another great video. Especially appreciate the tip about "graphic simplicity" in the Robin Williams image. I find sometimes with shoots that the complicated idea falls apart. Keep the vids coming, they're a fantastic dose of inspiration

[@fredandharryborden]

Thanks a lot! We have plenty of videos in the works. Trying a few different styles as well in the coming weeks!

[@SandroLendler]

Thanks for sharing.... keep them coming 🖐

[@fredandharryborden]

Thanks! Plenty more on the way!

[@alasdairmcleod]

This is really good. THere is a lot of information in a short video.

[@fredandharryborden]

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed - we tried to cover things we haven't seen from other photographers on youtube, as well as being less reliant on fancy gear.

[@stuartbailie810]

Good work Harry. I'm enjoying the videos.

[@fredandharryborden]

Glad you like them! Thanks :)

[@harryborden]

Hi Stuart, great to see your comment. Would be lovely to catch-up at some point? Such wonderful memories from our NME days! & loving your work too, X

[@izuix5629]

How to be present when it feels the camera separates me from the moment?

[@audioupgrades]

I wish I had catalogued my negatives earlier. I used to be able to remember everything about each frame so I never bothered writing anything down. Now, a few decades later, most of those details are gone.

[@fredandharryborden]

We are glad we have such a comprehensive catalogue. We probably wouldn't be able to do this channel without it!

[@sadshoe]

love it!

[@fredandharryborden]

Thanks! 😁

[@ChrisWhittenMusic]

Great. Yes, useful 👍🏻

[@fredandharryborden]

@@ChrisWhittenMusic thanks Chris. Thought of your channel when I put the McCartney pic in 👍

[@ChrisWhittenMusic]

@@fredandharryborden rare as Paul usually demands all the images belong to him, not the photographer.

[@fredandharryborden]

@@ChrisWhittenMusic I will have to ask Harry how he navigated this. He mentions in our Martin Scorsese video that he often refuses to sign anything that hands over the copyright to his photos so maybe this was the case?
