[@PZCherokee]

The models were really working the angles and eyes. Great shots and locations and setup. Thank you!

[@lensman5762]

really good photography. I particularly love the way you use the urban Manchester, under the Mancunian Way I guess?

[@Benje]

I might be a year late 😂 but as someone looking to set up a clothing brand atm this video was hella helpful 🙌🏾

[@SophiaCarey]

Hahah I’m so glad! Good luck with the clothing brand!

[@jayme6923]

[@SophiaCarey]

Thanks for watching! Actually got an updated version of this video up on the channel now too

[@Propellerhead1]

You and Iz are my favourite fashion photographers 🙏

[@SophiaCarey]

Thank you so much!

[@lilixi1278]

AND the model did a great job!

[@SophiaCarey]

Such a great photographer

[@SophiaCarey]

Thank you so much!

[@merolie]

Thank you for this helpful video! You might not monitor this old post anymore but in case you do: I’m really curious about how you find your models and how much to pay them. I need to do a shoot like that and I just don’t know how to go about it moneywise.

[@SophiaCarey]

Hey! Sorry, I just saw this! Finding models is something I usually do via modelling agencies or my network across social media. In terms of pay, I’ve worked with models that charge vastly different rates: expect anything from £350 to £2,500 depending on the model and their agency. I hope that helps!

[@merolie]

@@SophiaCarey thanks :)

[@garethjones5068]

Hey Sophia, another great video as always, was the first location in Ancoats by any chance? I always try & figure out where in Manc you shoot 🤔

[@SophiaCarey]

Thank you! And yes it was! It’s where the retail park with Toys R Us etc. used to be!

[@garethjones5068]

@@SophiaCarey I thought so! My drive/traffic jam dwelling on the way into work doubles as location scouting 😆 There's such a range of really cool locations around Manchester for pretty much any photography style you could want

[@SophiaCarey]

Gareth Jones haha that’s a great way to location scout! Two birds, one stone! And yes there definitely are. Manchester is a great place for a breadth of locations that are in close proximity to each other!

[@garethjones5068]

@@SophiaCarey Every cloud & all that ha! I've mostly shot in the NQ or near Picadilly train station, I need to shoot around Manc again soon, I shoot street photography mainly, never had the opportunity to do a model type shoot but your vids make me really want to!

[@SophiaCarey]

You should definitely try it out sometime! I love street photography, but portraiture definitely adds another dynamic to the job!

[@alexandraboadu]

Super helpful! Loved it

[@SophiaCarey]

Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful ✨

Dope BTS footage 🔥🙌🏾📸

[@SophiaCarey]

Thank you! Katie (instagram.com/katiesedit_/) filmed most of the behind the scenes, and absolutely smashed it!

[@chelinemagsano6185]

How do you decide if you need flash or not?

[@SophiaCarey]

Hey! It depends on the lighting. When I’m outdoors I don’t use flash unless it’s really dark and there’s no ambient lighting to use.

[@chelinemagsano6185]

@@SophiaCarey Ah thanks! 🙏

[@Jetstreamhustla]

I’m looking to start a clothing brand in about a month or so

[@SophiaCarey]

Ah amazing, good luck with it!

[@Tosintonero]

Hi

[@arianjamali6183]

If only you included camera settings...

[@SophiaCarey]

They would have been different settings per photo because of the different lighting etc. I’d recommend learning to shoot manual if you haven’t already, as this will help you know which settings to use for different shots

[@arianjamali6183]

@@SophiaCarey i appreciate the explanation. Would you mind telling me why didn't you use an 85mm lens for this specific photoshoot?

[@SophiaCarey]

@@arianjamali6183 for this particular shoot, an 85mm would have been too close a crop. I needed a lens (the 35 is what I used) that would suit full body shots and shots with both models in

[@sweetstorm7652]

Hi dear, thank you for the info. You are sweet and beautiful, please get your thyroid checked out💚

Thank you, I will do!
