[@ink9100]

may i ask the name of the editing program your using?

[@FaroukMejdoub]

I totally agree, do not let perfection becomes procrastination.

[@hurleygreen927]

Appreciate this video! As a lover of street photography here in Chi-Town, I'm often shooting in late afternoon or evening light, and your video is VERY HELPFUL! Thanks.

[@tommyroberts8776]

4:22 This is the best part of the video. So true!!

[@osasenoma-owens5072]

Great video!!! I did notice something that you're doing that I'd like to point out. While you were editing in Camera Raw, I noticed that you have your color profile settings set to "Adobe RGB". If that is intentional then you may ignore this, but what I've come to notice is that when you edit using the Adobe RGB color profile, upon converting back to sRGB when saving as a JPEG, you may notice some color shifts. Those color shifts can be a bit annoying so it's always best to edit in the sRGB color space and then save the image with the sRGB profile.

Nice video. Loved the comments about shooting often. Really inspired me. Nice work!

When I shoot at night on tripod, I normally shoot at 1/40 to 1/80 sec to get more ambient light and I don't have bust exposure and introduce noise. I find at that shutter speed there is no movement in the model. Great video.

[@BachPhotography]

Thanks for the tips, I think at 1/40 it would be hard to get the model to stay still enough to stop motion blur, but ill give it a go!

[@timecapsulefoto]

@@BachPhotography just try to use an speedlight to freeze the movement 😊

[@brotherhoodexperiencellc9942]

Awesome Bro! Very encouraging. I've subscribed. I look forward to seeing more from you. Great rant. I look forward to hearing more. You got the gift. Thanks for sharing.

[@tuanhoangtruong7732]

so to shoot amazing portraits in low light is to use extra lights... thanks

[@anastasiasongs]

Oh, so glad you guys went out, your friend Georgia looks amazing! Learnt so much, thank you for your advice! (From Dubai!)

[@naralee8707]

Came here for tutorial, went back with motivation!

[@diegosolari3101]

If I may contribute with a personal opinion, consider the opposite approach for introducing less noice in the image when shooting in very low light. That is overexpose a by a third of a stop or half a stop and bring the exposure down instead of having to raise the shadows or the overall exposure. Set a higher ISO if you intend to bring exposure down in post ending up with an overall less noisier image. I am not taking any credit for this approach, I can't remember which sony spokeperson I heard it from originally, but it wasn't me coming up with it, just thought it would be something worth considering and sharing. I personally shoot with a sony a7rIII and the way the camera manages noise at high ISO is simply impressive. I am sure the a7rII isn't far behind.

[@osasenoma-owens5072]

Great technique! It is one I use as well. Another thing to note is to avoid sharpening areas of the image which contain noise, such as shadows.

Diego Solari lo entendí a medias! No me lo explicas en español? Gracias.

[@diegosolari3101]

Gus Adrian My apologies, I don't speak Spanish...

[@MostafaAhmed999]

gotta say i always look for photographers with less subscribers because definitely not just those couple of photographers who have countless number of subscribers recommend the stuff you need or at least low budget stuff.. I'm a student and i do landscape and City scape photography for fun and looking forward to start some portrait photography and use my friends as the models :D .... this Yongnuo 300 seems to be pretty cool .... i have the Yongnuo 568 ex II and it's pretty good but i was looking for something extra in case the ambient light is not helping that much especially that i don't own a 1.8 prime lens ... respect for this nice simplified video you got a subscriber!

[@BachPhotography]

Glad to have you on board Mostafa :)

[@sabrinaachamberlain]

Love the way these photos came out!

[@BachPhotography]

Thanks Sabrina :)

[@Audaucity]

Lighting definitely comes into play. Thanks for the tips 🤙🏻

[@ernestocutino370]

awesome

[@JuanCarlosHerediaMayer]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing. Keep it going.

[@ryantanakaphoto]

I like that you use lighting diagrams. That’s not something done enough. 👍🏻

[@jessemartinez2606]

How did they take such beautiful shots before adobe?

[@theresashaw08]

I like ur voice thanks fo the tips

[@LLuo-lw8le]

Are you taking those with a remote?

[@LLuo-lw8le]

I’m sorry but I am so confused. The link to the lens and then I selected Sony in the buying selections.. says it’s for A.. I am planning on getting the Sony a6400, would I be able to use that lens on it?

[@VanillaDolphinz]

Thank you so much!!! You really inspired me to get out more even at night😉

[@BachPhotography]

Glad to hear :) happy shooting!

[@jasonreviews]

i like lightroom more for coloring pictures, but photoshop is okay.

[@spoox7107]

Amazing tutorial!! Thank you!

[@BachPhotography]

Thank you for watching!

[@GoldenHay1]

this is more like a how to photoshop

[@rogergarrettuk]

very nice video and great work

[@gavinberry1796]

Might be worth following a non-destructive post approach

[@Greekgeek20]

Question- Which is cool and which is warm- 5500K vs 3200K? Thank you

[@HellbellyUK]

High number is cool (blue), low number is warm( yellow/orange).

What's the song in the background? Love it.

[@tokyoinpics9346]

I was about to give this video a thumbs down because even though everyone says content is king and you should put your maximum effort into creating it, many people at the beginning of videos say, "Oh this is just a quick video ... blah blah" which implies to me that they just slapped together something in order get something onto the net and look relevant. Luckily, for me, I stayed to hear the reasons why your model was wearing work clothes; why little makeup; choice of location etc etc which all went back to the practice thing, so in the end it was great. Business owners need to keep in the zone and be productive. It's better than staying at home and doing diddly squat. Sage advice. Good work!

[@BachPhotography]

Tokyo in Pics why thumbs down a video at all? Bad vibes

[@tokyoinpics9346]

@@BachPhotography Fine. But, do we let others know what we think isn't any good? Thumbs down is one way of doing it. Nothing worse than having to sit through videos that aren't useful/click baity etc etc. Sounds like you just expect thumbs up only. I'll unsubscribe then. Bad vibes.

[@jvyu9628]

quit messing with Georgia, she's perfect as she is :)

[@joshuasmall8229]

nice video!

[@BachPhotography]

Thanks Joshua :)

[@FaroukMejdoub]

One question: why dont you just use lightroom? Since all the work youdo is in ACR ?

[@BachPhotography]

I do sometimes use Lightroom but I prefer the flexibility of Photoshop when editing photos 1 by 1

[@FlopsyGuitarBunny]

Excellent tutorial. I loved how the final shot looked. Btw, what sort of battery does the YN300 take? and how often do you find you have to change it? You've got a new sub!

[@BachPhotography]

Thanks mate :). The YN300 has two different models that either tak LP-E6 canon batteries or NPF750 which is the one I have. It lasts about an hour on full power

[@SimranSingh-gr3go]

sir i cant find photoshop setting that you are adjusting exposure and white balance etc..

[@BachPhotography]

Madhar Desh Production are you shooting in raw? If not go filter-> camera raw filter

[@tolisthekid]

dude... you're using a 7rii an f1.4 lens and a tripod... so please don't be a snob; you can easily get your shutter down to 1/30 at f1.4 if you wanted, it would be steady and clear; what i do with a simple d5600 is up to 1/200 at f1.8 and iso 1600 or even 3200 to get ambient light for a beautifully lit& blurry background (also saves you the pain to light it up in post, adding that noise you so much hate in the process) respect you for your use of lighting but not so much for overprocessing the poor girl's skin (i kinda like some imperfections, but now that's just me)

[@BachPhotography]

tolisthekid you wont get a sharp model at 1/30

[@hiigeesus]

Speedlights will fix eveything

[@knots9119]

"so please don't be a snob" - proceeds to be an absolute cunt when describing what they would do. lmao

[@edowijaya8603]

Are you cant get more difficult to get more angle?

[@077di6]

Thank you , what flash do you use?

[@BachPhotography]

I use a Yong Nuo YN560 4

[@marquariustheentertainer]

I DONT HAVE THAT TYPE OF CAMERAI HAVE CHEAPER CAMERA CANON T5 BUT I USE THE SAME SETTING AWESOME VIDEO

[@ivanvolchek1187]

Beautiful girl

[@misobogdanov2422]

There was a lot of to begin with

[@shotbygem]

Why did you choose to keep the shutter speed that high? Hairflow? Just wondering so ISO could have been 100

[@BachPhotography]

The model wasn't staying still so it was to freeze her in place

[@MrBlack-lk6ih]

не стоит оно того.

[@GilbertTV]

very good... but you need to get a Rotolight Neo instead of that cheap chinese light..

[@BachPhotography]

Thanks! Why do you think I need a Rotolight? What can the Rotolight do that my Yong Nuo YN300 cannot? ;)

[@GilbertTV]

all i was thinking was a better quality of light & a nicer product to use thats all... hey if your happy with your Yong nuo... thats great ...

[@BachPhotography]

Always good to hear other people's opinions! Personally I've found the Yong Nuo to be great quality so far :D

[@TrentDangphoto]

Rotolight is a over priced LED tool. I have used both the cheap led panel and the rotolight and there is no difference. It is just heavily marketed by Jason Lanier
