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

[@AudaryaisticPhotography]

Very nice family pictures. Love the two cute girls conversing with each other picture.

[@truthhurts167]

Love the interaction with family! You give what seems like a stress free event for singles and groups. Learning and entertaining time!

85 F1.2 has great Bokeh for full body portraits

[@SergeyBidun]

Yes for sure, I love shooting with that lens!

[@Natashaskitchen]

Sergey, those are some really beautiful photos, I love the backlight and the greenery 👏🏻

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you so much Natasha, it means a lot to get feedback from you :) If I ever get a chance, I would love to take pictures of your family!

[@LtDeadeye]

Your results are stunning! The gradual fall off on your close ups is what I’m after but when I get that close with my 50mm and 135mm, they distort the face. When I back off, the 135 gains that cut-out look, but at the expense of a gradual fall off. When I back off with my 50, the bokeh is diminished. I want an 85 f/1.2 now.

Great photos and great to see everyone keep motivated till the end ...... the younger kids are, the faster they usually like to do something else 🤨🤨

[@SergeyBidun]

O yes. Kids always kids.

[@luisserrano8551]

Beautiful family....amazing images

[@SergeyBidun]

[@jarquin76]

[@SergeyBidun]

Hello Salbador, thank you for your comment. You can get in touch with me via Instagram @bidunportraits for more info about photography mentoring that I do.

[@annharrison1701]

So enjoyable to watch! I will be taking photos this weekend with a mom, dad and three children. Won’t be shooting at 1.2….still get messed up where to focus. You have it nailed!

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you so much for your feedback! I hope your photoshoot went well! :)

[@louisjeanjunior8832]

Shooting at 1.2 and have everyone in focus, that's amazing, but what is your focus point when they're not placed in a straight line.?

[@b.krayeski]

super helpful for my photo shoot. I really like how you posted your settings! did u have to lighten the subjects in LR when u were shooting with them in front of the sunset? thx! great job!

[@shoaibliaqat4180]

Great video Sergey. I have a question if you don't mind, how did you managed the depth of field at such wide aperture for a group photo. whenever i try this one or the other person goes out of focus. Thanks

[@jonoy4375]

The secrets could be multi faces are getting closer and parallel to camera. However, on F1.2, I just worry individual faces are not in perfect focus if look at zoom in.

[@kenuwhoknew]

Nice! What were you instructing the girls to do at 11:00?

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you! I told the younger girls to look on the girl that's sitting, and they just started laughing so hard. Turned out really awesome shots!

[@sandialdridge7599]

Great job Sergey. Are they your family? I don't think the youngest girl was feeling it that day. I asked you in the last video but do you use any photoshop actions for your warmth or do you just warm them up in Camera RAW?

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you, yes it's my cousin and his family :) I only use Dodge and burn and frequency separation actions, and the rest of editing I do manually. You can see my whole workflow in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZrTe6xsYpaMkNE

[@sandialdridge7599]

@@SergeyBidun thanks Sergey!

[@mayer7196]

How did you get everyone in focus at 3:32? They are not lined up, there are two layers of people, front and back.

[@NiazMahmood1977]

RF 85 mm f/1.2L is too expensive. I can't afford to buy. Did you try EF 85 f/1.2L with EOS R camera? I am thinking to buy a used one for my R6.

[@SergeyBidun]

No I haven't tried shooting with EF 85 1.2L with the R5 camera. But between EF 85 and RF 85, I really like RF 85 lens.

[@nobodyspecial946]

I have same gear R5+85mm 1.2 but I don't make such great photos due to my editing sucks!

[@SergeyBidun]

That's a really great setup, one of my favorites. So just keep shooting and practicing and you will see improvement!

[@enriqueoutdoors]

Love it! Do you have a video editing your photos?

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you so much! yes I have a couple editing videos on my channel, here's one of them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnW7goSqlJmXhsk

[@volodymyr.mksmchk]

Ha, I was a bit confused after hearing "в рядочок" and then Sergey confirmed that they were Ukrainians)) Радий випадково наткнутися на земляків на ютубі! What was the location?

[@mattdee23]

Great shots, what was your metering setting at? spot, evaluative etc...

[@christinajules9290]

Another amazing session!! Would love to know roughly how long it takes you to edit each image for a session like this?

[@SergeyBidun]

I do my best during photoshoots to minimize any retouching during post-processing by choosing the correct spots locations, educating on outfits my clients, and other details. Some images take only 1min some take 30 min, so it depends on each image. Here is my work flow Video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZrTe6xsYpaMkNE

What preset are you using?
