Can I just say, the quality of your videos are top tier. Please keep sharing!

[@DavidShoukry]

Really appreciate that, Andrew, thank you!

Wow .... your work is stunning! I discovered you at Instagram 4 weeks ago. And I'm so happy that you have a KZbin Channel too. I'm just wondering where did you found all this beautiful backdrops! Keep on with this channel ..... waiting for your next video!!

[@DavidShoukry]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment! The backdrops are made by Hand Painted Backdrops here in the UK. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Mike-bn7kr]

I have enjoyed your photography for quite some time. I really wish I could get people to do photos with me so I could practice more.

[@DavidShoukry]

Appreciate your comment, thank you. For getting the job done quickly (and without you having to worry about directing people) I’d recommend paying a professional model. You’ll get your images easily and it doesn’t need to cost a fortune.

[@NickDelDuca]

This is amazing! I've never thought about building depth in my small studio the way you are doing it here. All of my images look flat by comparison. Super excited to try this out!

[@DavidShoukry]

Much appreciated, thank you 😊

Great video, top notch content and would love to see more like this.

Hi David, I just discovered your channel. I absolutely love your work, it's very much the atheistic I love! I absolutely love the way the Fujifilm GFX camera you use renders such beautiful colours. I do miss the Fujifilm system so much, I used to use the XT2s for weddings. Now looking at obtaining the GFX system to do creative portraits, it's just the price is stopping me a little. Thank you for your insight about why you love this camera especially coming from a working professional photographer.

where did you buy these gorgeous apple boxed and wooden chair/ladder ?

[@DavidShoukry]

Hey thank you 😊. I got pretty much all of it from Facebook Marketplace.

[@enguerranzandonaimedia]

Beautiful and great information, thank you!

Appreciate it, Enguerran, thank you!

[@qaiszureikat7146]

From where do u get furniture pieces like these? That red chair is fantastic

[@DavidShoukry]

Most of it is thrifted, purchased secondhand or from Facebook Marketplace.

[@qaiszureikat7146]

@@DavidShoukry i wish i can find these stuff, especially that red loveseat..i can’t find it here in dubai or on eBay

[@qaiszureikat7146]

Also if its not called a loveseat please correct me to make my search easier 😅

[@tkaemendez8428]

random question David...what eyeglasses are those? love em want em! appreciated

[@DavidShoukry]

Glad you like them! Sure, they were from Zeelool. They sent the frames over and I had my prescription lenses put in them.

[@KillaTuba]

where do you get your different sizes of canvas from?

[@RobJorg]

my shooting area is 4 by 4 meters. for portraits i think i can manage. i do love your videos David and your style. i do have a question. i have a sony A1 for video and moving subjects and i cant keep my eye of the Fuji GFX 100S with a 45-100mm lens. nice alround lens for my portrait aspiration and kinda work. what is the reason why you havnt made the move to the Fuji GFX 50S II or 100S ? i hear that on the 100S AF is faster, ISO performance is the same as the 50S 2 but the 100S has a more recent sensor.

[@DavidShoukry]

That’s a ‘cosy’ space! Yes, the 45-100 is an awesome lens. I haven’t made the change from the 50S because I don’t think the upgrade would change much about my work. I always shoot slowly so the improved autofocus won’t be much of a thing. As far as I know the 50S MK2 has the same sensor as its predecessor so the absolute quality of the photos would stay pretty much the same? The 100S is great from what I hear but the files are just too big for me!

[@RobJorg]

@@DavidShoukry i have to figure out if it is big enough for portrait work, i think so. full legth isnt an option in this space but renting a bigger space isnt an option during the learning phase.

[@DavidShoukry]

I think you’d be fine for full-length at 50mm (or 63mm GFX) in that space.

[@andydragonfisher6900]

Really helpful David - thank you 🙌

[@DavidShoukry]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@andydragonfisher6900]

@@DavidShoukry when I have the funds I’ll definitely invest in the masterclass which looks excellent. Just brought a refurbished GFX 50S and 80mm 1.7 prime so am on vapours for now, but it’s at the top of my wish list 🙌

[@DavidShoukry]

That’s a cool combo: the 80mm lens is stunning!

[@andydragonfisher6900]

@@DavidShoukry it really is - slow but as a medium format portrait lens it’s wonderful 😉
