Fall Family Photoshoot | Canon EOS R5 + RF 85mm 1.2L Lens, Natural Light Pictures, Behind the Scenes

[@AnthonyToglife]

I don’t think “papa” was digging your energy lol. Maybe a good idea to learn names?? Great editing on those images though, loved the color!

[@SergeyBidun]

:-)

[@howie4life]

I was just about to say the same thing. It wasn't disrespectful, but there is something uncomfortable with hearing things like "bring this boy closer" and the clicking like you are calling an animal. Good job on the images though.

[@CherryandTrevor]

Lol, good video none the less 📸👍

[@GoldenAgeless]

Lol

[@qh_ent]

Yeah tbh names are very important. You can make some ones whole day y’know. But your directing/posing and composition is 💯. Location as well

[@lisawilliams1750]

Awesome job keeping the kids engaged. Love the before and after images.

[@SergeyBidun]

Thanks a lot for your feedback! It's truly crucial to engage kids as much as possible in order to achieve great results!! Have a great day!

[@Hussein22]

This is brilliant!

[@jaym5938]

Daddy's like, "My daughter is not a horse..." ;) I'd be interested to see your editing workflow. Showing before/after is appreciated.

[@SergeyBidun]

Sometimes gotta do funny sounds just to get kids attention lol Here is one of my editing videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnW7goSqlJmXhsk

Beautiful!!

Thanks a lot!

This is a great photoshoot 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@SergeyBidun]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@jonoy4375]

R5 + 85 F1.2 great combo

[@brucemacneil]

Gorgeous family - lovely photos.

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you so much.

[@btecww]

Good energy and engagement

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you, this family was super sweet and fun to photograph!

[@hurleygreen927]

GREAT FAMILY IMAGES! i'M A NIKON GUY AND MY FAVORITE LENS IS a 24-70mm zoom, but also have a 55mm macro lens that I crop 1.2x for an effective 85mm perspective! Thanks for the video, and the moody music adds to the video! Thanks for this.....

[@jonoy4375]

Hi Sergey, when you took family photos of 4 or 5, were you using max F1.2 aperture? Will F1..2 have too shadow DoF?

[@rockiemoments5066]

Wow such an amazing job

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you so much 😀

[@royottaway9434]

Excellent , I'm sure the family will love them .

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you

[@99ReasonsY]

wooooow incredible pics , hmmm now am thinking RF 85MM F1.2 IS my next buy, that is if i can deliver great shots and ideas like u

[@SergeyBidun]

I really love shooting with this lens, and I think you will enjoy it as well!

[@99ReasonsY]

@@SergeyBidun i bought the r5 and rf 85 f2, so i will test out the 85 f2 lens , it will not have same background blur and allow wider aperture as rf 85 f1.2 , but will be fairly ok if outdoors or sunny day, i guess, Also i got some dissabilities, so the 85m f1.2 might be too heavy or cumbersome to carry, hense my decission to go with the budget f2 version. in future , if i really like the f2, and want more from it, then il will sell it. and go for the almighty f1.2 version. i also got the rf35m f1.8, and the rf 15-35m f2.8, waiting to unbox and review. my next lens will be rf 70-200m f2.8, but that will be after i have mastered my other rf lenses. i know the rf 70-200m might also be heavy , so il leave till later.

[@beataszlauer7295]

This was awesome!!! The colors are to die for

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback!

[@anatoliybidun7955]

Nice family

Great job.

[@SergeyBidun]

Thanks a lot!

[@MzAboutFace]

How are u shooting f1.2 using a 28-70 ? I need to know this magic! Anywho great video and great shoot!

[@ozarksdigitalcreations9254]

This video was awesome. I am just getting in to photography and doing a Father's Day photo session with my wife's side of the family today and currently only have a 50 and 85mm and I love the compression of my 85, so thank you for this!

[@adybe9055]

Can't wait for next video. You make it so fun to watch. Your Always happy! Good videos

[@SergeyBidun]

You are so kind! Thank You.

Great work as always. Your style inspires me. Beautiful family.

[@gvilla6638]

Great photos! Beautiful family! What photo editing software did you use? Thank you.

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you So Much. I use Lightroom and Photoshop.

[@onlysublime]

Great job and beautiful photos! I want the r5 so badly! :D

[@SergeyBidun]

You should!

[@garendemacia2543]

Love it bro.

[@whosyourbrad]

Daym!! Awesome work, I love the photos near the river and your colour is super nice 🔥❤️. Great work mate

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you So much.

[@Kingsevenheaven]

Awesome !! do you usually shoot a little bit under expose for ambient then brighten the subjects up on Lightroom ?

[@jeffarredondo]

Beautiful family and photographs!

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you

[@victoriakomorowski7066]

your work and posing is absolutely amazing! you're absolutely nailing it. may I please get to know which presets you're using or what you do for editing? thank you much - keep rockin' ;-)

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you so much Victoria for your kind words. I just have my own simple presets.

[@francesssillah919]

I wish you were in Pennsylvania to take our family photos so ver awesome

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you so much, maybe some day :)

[@TaeRiches]

Very beautiful ❤

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you! 😊

[@DaveSincere]

This is very nice. My question. How long would you say this shoot lasted? Mine seem to last forever - 3 Hours, I need to shorten.

[@vxiong9325]

This video is so well done. I'm new to photography and just bought a budget setup (Canon Rebel T7 + Canon 85mm 1.8) to start. :)

[@SergeyBidun]

It should work for starting

[@BruiserFL]

Wow...you have inspired me. Nice work!

[@SergeyBidun]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@R0dan]

Very nice work. I just got the RF 85 and I am absolutely amazed by the quality.

[@CORNBWEAD]

Question!! I need help! When you took the family photo with all 5 of them and you shot it at 1.2 aperture. What auto focus did you use and who did you focus on to get all the people focused

[@SergeyBidun]

Here is the Video where I’m explaining how I shoot at 1.2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqnLd4CAeN9roZI

[@kalboJeff]

Awesome shots and edits. What software are using for post and do you sell your presets?

[@SergeyBidun]

I'm using Lightroom and Photoshop for editing, and no I don't have presets yet.

[@vyemamedia]

how were you able to get sharp images for group photos while shooting at 1.2?

[@josecarlossobrinhoensaiosr904]

good night sergey again another beautiful essay congratulations for the work, could do a tutorial of the edition of used, i am a fan of brazil, excellent

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you! i will do later when going have enough subscribers

[@3-piece129]

Awesome pictures. Do you use eye auto focus? If so, whose eye do you focus on? Why risk some softness in the focus at f1.2, why not go to 5.6 or so?

[@SergeyBidun]

Yes i used eye autofocus. if you pose correctly you will have all in focus in 1.2

[@3-piece129]

@@SergeyBidun thank you. I will need to practice more.

[@robynguo3433]

@@SergeyBidun Can R5 focuses on all faces or one person?

[@alissabarty7312]

How do you achieve that beautiful vibrant colour? Great work!

[@jannylan8229]

Nice photos! I noticed that the pictures turned brighter from original colour, did you use Lightroom to post processing them?

[@SergeyBidun]

I use Photoshop and Lightroom for processing my images.

[@ChecoElBailador]

Beautiful work Sergey! I live in Sacramento as well. Would you mind sharing the name or location of the park? It’s awesome.

[@LaGrizz]

Did you ever find out the name of the park? I would love to know too, please.

[@analvysreguera7604]

The video that you did showing how to shoot at 1.2 contradicts yourself. In that video you say that the two girls cannot be in different focal planes because one would be blurry. In this photoshoot you shoot all the pictures at 1.2 and they are clearly not in the same focal plane. Could you please explain how you did that? Who did you focus on ? I would really appreciate your answer since Im a beginner.

[@imagebyoscar]

You really shot these wide open at f/1.2? All their faces are sharp and they're standing at different depths, that's really good!

[@SergeyBidun]

Yes I'm

[@LifeSurfingDude]

he is shooting at a longer distance, hence plane of focus has a greater range. if he was doing headshots with entire family, that's where you would see faces out of focus.

[@CORNBWEAD]

@@LifeSurfingDude when shooting at a wide open of that low, what do you recommend on AF? And who do you put focus on to make all faces clear??

[@JTR...]

Would like to see how you edit this picture

[@SergeyBidun]

I have quite a lot of editing videos on my channel already. Here is one of them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnW7goSqlJmXhsk

[@jagphotovideobk2168]

I like your job man. Simple but beautiful. There’s beauty on simplicity. God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ Amén. May God allow you to grow your business for his Glory Amén

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your kind words! Blessings to you as well!

[@carlososorto1270]

If you had pick btw this lens and the 28-70mm. Which one would you pick for portraits?

[@SergeyBidun]

28-70mm more Universal!

[@williamc4353]

I have the same setup and when shooting wide open it seems unless they are perfect in a line someone always gets a little soft.. I fix that by shooting 2.2-2.8 but never can get a group at 1.2 it seems :(

[@CesarPerez-ig2xf]

this is literally what i was thinking. there is no way he is getting tack sharp group pictures at 1.2

[@beezus0566]

For larger families (15people) could an 85mm be used and still be in focus ?

[@jvazquez109]

Out of all the pictures you took how many were blurry -due to no IS? I ordered it but having second thoughts on a 3k lens with no image stabilization.

[@SergeyBidun]

Maybe 10% -15%, this is my most favorite Lens. This lens depends on photographer skills.

[@joegowac4617]

What is the phone on the camera ? Are you running an app ?

[@Terry-jf2nt]

One question, when you shoot a group of people with RF85 at F1.2 aperture, how do you control the focus point?

[@SergeyBidun]

To get a group of people in focus, I try to position everyone at the same distance to the camera as much as possible.

[@Terry-jf2nt]

@@SergeyBidun Thank you for the reply. I am planning to turn into a full-time portraint photographer.

[@chrisjohnsonfilms]

You not using 28-70 much anymore?

[@SergeyBidun]

I use All my Lenses. For Senior and Portraits and Events, I use 28-70mm 2.0+ 85mm 1.2; | For Family Maternity and Kids I use 85mm 1.2 + 70-200mm 2.8

[@CORNBWEAD]

With eye auto focus and shooting a family portrait who’s eye do you focus?

[@SergeyBidun]

Here is the Video where I’m explaining how I shoot at 1.2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqnLd4CAeN9roZI

[@skbpharmd]

Is it possible you could overlay your camera focal point.

[@ZackCrain]

How is everyone is focus at 1.2, usually have to do f/4 just to make sure with more than 2 people

[@gibsondude07ify]

My thoughts exactly! I'm trying to figure out how 1.2 got everyone in super sharp focus.

[@CountRegis]

Maybe try bringing bright or noisy/musical toys instead of clucking at the baby like she’s a bird or something, and learning names would go a long way to improve your client experience. Great pictures though

[@SergeyBidun]

Thanks for the tips!

[@dewkyimba8051]

Can you teach us how you edit your photos

[@sherylW315]

Your work is fantastic… but learn the kids names!

[@SergeyBidun]

Ok, thank you

[@user-eu2me4bp7j]

Agreed! Especially considering you have their info beforehand and they are paying a lot of money for the shoot.

[@jasonm129]

This is nice!!!! How the hell u learn that sound to get the baby attention lol

[@SergeyBidun]

I try different toys and techniques! and this one works well for me. :-)

[@lenylsonluan]

I have the camera but I don’t know how to edit like you, whithout edit doesn’t look like that is professional camera :/ there are some videos of you editing in this way?

[@SergeyBidun]

I have One Video you can find it in my playlist. New editing videos i will create when we reach 10000 subs.

[@Miamifilmkings]

Do you have a lut

[@SergeyBidun]

I don’t have yet

[@marknelson1259]

How to get everyone in a focus in a group photo ????🤔

[@marknelson1259]

In*

[@Soulreaper066]

Look into hyper focus tables.

[@agnieszka2991]

Thanks so much for the review, very helpful! For those that might have any additional questions, I recently found Canon chat very useful, they can be found here: www.canon.co.uk/canonlive/live-chat/?. Thanks again for great content!

[@kaydawgy1999]

Why are you shooting 1.2 when there are 4 people NOT standing in the same focal plane? Only 1 ir 2 of them will be in focus

[@alexhall9450]

This is an interesting point. I wound nt have the guts to attempt This .

[@aznycts]

one more thing you don't. Kkkkkkt that's for Horses ...

[@catiewesty]

I really wish you took the time to learn their names”this boy” isnt ideal./professional. Sorry I stopped watching all the way in the beginning.

[@SergeyBidun]

Thanks for leaving your feedback, and I do agree with you. I'm pretty horrible with remembering names, and especially when I get in the mood of shooting, all the names just fly out of my head lol. I do appreciate your time.

[@catiewesty]

@@SergeyBidun your images are beautiful! Maybe you can say something like little brother big brother or a little sister big sister that way it doesn’t just come off like “this boy”. I’m pretty bad at learning names to especially when I’m shooting but at least I like to make them feel more relaxed when they hear you calling their names.

[@aznycts]

You don't call your Client Boy and Papa . that is unprofessional . less talking will help.

[@SergeyBidun]

Thanks for your feedback.

[@HR81PR112]

your constant giggling made me extreeeemely uncomfortable just watching this video... and i would think that learning the names of your clients even just for the shoot is basic respect and courtesy. Don't even get me started on the clicking as though the clients are horses.

[@na-zu2ey]

Honestly my family would smile because of the clicking! It's only offensive if you think you are a horse in your own heart.

[@josephphotography4127]

In reality how much details can u possibly get from ur subjects shooting at F 1.2?

[@SergeyBidun]

Not sure exactly what you meant to ask? About what kind of details are you asking?
