Which Dress/shot was your favorite? What Should I ask the models next time?

[@JoshLuciano]

Hey, man! Dude, really digging your video. Keep crushing it! Really digging the 4th dress, man.

[@tedk2814]

great video Michael, I really liked Nikki modeling the medium grey? dress at 7:42. It went well with the dove grey paper and her skin tone, just perfect. both were super, thanks

[@edfran777]

That blue dress is stunning

[@MikeKing-ei4cl]

I have a feeling I should subscribe before even watching, that intro got me.

[@misterjase]

The shot on the right @5:32 is my favourite.

[@marcomark8]

I noticed one thing about you that really stands out. You have a big heart and all you do is give to the people around you. Giving there info in such a way that people can actually contact them. Not just a quick flash of their info. This video ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're a good person. Your photography is on point!

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

Thank you so much man. I really appreciate it. Those people are helping me live my dream and reach my goals so anytime I can showcase good people I will.

[@katrinsinyagina3384]

Exactly, it really pops up. Big heart.

[@jasonmedas603]

The fan is probably the most underrated piece of equipment Thanks for the DOF info really helpful

[@josephchan4198]

Looks good. Good tips on helping out at photoshoot to build rapport with other photographers and models.

[@jacquelinejackson5191]

Lovely soft lighting from those umbrellas

[@Digmen1]

I really enjoyed that Michael, thanks very much.

[@DavidBeecroftMusic]

Thanks Michael, the lighting set up gives depth without deep shadows. I'm going to explore shoot through umbrellas more. Real clear descriptions of your process and really nice results as well.

[@rhw2005]

[@skiptexan]

Can you do a video on how to set a mood board and why you need one? If not you have any recommendations on articles or videos covering mood boards?

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

That’s a good idea. I’ll add it to my list of shoot ideas.

[@JaveriaRaheel]

Loved it!

Great video bro! Keep it up! a big hug from Argentina

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

[@andrewfrost8866]

An excellent presentation Michael. Very clear, excellent explanation of the often overlooked details. And excellent images created too!! Thank you for sharing.

[@jacquelinejackson5191]

OMGod you made that look TOO simple, that first shot is absolutely beautiful, your colors are spot on GREAT!!!!! I love what I'm seeing and I'm only at 5:05 minutes into the shoot. in cases like this, I also sit down!!! ok I'm doing something right, Cool. What lens are you using and what is your distance? You are so professional giving each person their star moment.......

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

Thank you. Usually 24-70 and about 10 feet back(more or less)

[@KwokKaySzeto]

This is a fun video.

[@joseirizarry9964]

Nice job

[@chessbump71]

Hey, Mike. New subscriber here. I love your work! Checking now to see if you have any outdoor bts shoots. Keep it up!

[@africanhistory]

Good work, I just wonder if putting a light lower down to stop the shadows at the bottom of the dress would have helped. And when I say help I mean to show the dress a little better. Artistically the shots are spot on, but think some more light is needed low down. the fan really helped also. very good models and that def helped.

[@yuriajones]

These are beautiful photos. Thanks for showing your process. Any specs on the shoot-thru umbrellas??

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

Yuri A Jones thanks. They are just 86 inch white umbrellas. They were actually two different brands.

[@deloressaintj4275]

Great tips. May I ask what type of umbrella are those? I just bought two of these light.

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

Both are 86 inch. One is a Paul buff. The other is a wescott.

[@ThomasRuhlandPhotography]

Hi Michael, this is what I need. Thanks. Any links to show us how you edit your images?

[@food6175]

Could you please tell us about your AF setting, thanks.

[@allenjernigan4448]

Great video man! I’d love to know what you did for post processing!

[@rekhadamhar6962]

Yes, me too!

[@georgemonday1684]

This has helped me so much!

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

George Monday glad to help👍🏽

[@Shumbaroarmedia]

Brilliant , I was wondering about the F stop settings for this type of photography_ got it now _- cheers !

[@jjbphoto_]

Love this.Just subbed🌟

[@stevenvalinski1798]

I know I'm a year late. Only thing I thought was missing was the color passport checker. Great shots side, if the color is off it effects the whole shoot. But I liked the video. Umbrellas are underrated :)

[@misterjase]

lovely video. learned quite a bit. how do you feel about adding another speedlite behind your models ? would that add any value to your shots ?

[@Vivrancy]

The automatic flash from the diffuser, is there a wireless remote attached to your camera?

[@johnleighdesigns]

hi i really enjoyed this video showing setup and approach - would having the main light centre stage have produced too flat of an image ?

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

John Leigh yes. The mood board they sent me had directional light. So I wanted the main to be from the side.

[@lucianomanzo5824]

Great video man.! Which backdrop stand was used for this video? I want to buy one but I don't know which to buy

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

Just added a link in the description. It’s the same one I have.

[@lucianomanzo5824]

@@MichaelWrightPhoto Great, thanks man.! Keep up the good work.

[@jamesparish7234]

Hey Mike, Photomeike mentioned you in one of his vids...Great work!...Now a subscriber!..haha

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

Thanks for the sub. More videos coming soon.

[@sandpiperstudios]

What umbrellas are you using? Enjoyed your vid.

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

Martin Caird thanks. One is a Paul C buff plm. The other is from wescott(got it used for $20). Both are 86 inches in size.

[@Mikegans1]

Great video. What body was this shot with?

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

Michael Gans Sony A7iii with 24-70gm

[@Mikegans1]

@@MichaelWrightPhoto Not that I am blaming the body for the great images I really liked the eye tracking.

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

Michael Gans the Sony eye af is really good. The a9 is even faster. But the A7iii is just a tad sharper to me.

[@davidclein]

Thank you

[@delvissimmonds3224]

Thank you so much for doing this video. This is exactly what I've been looking for! What lens did you use for this shoot?

[@HazeAnatomy]

Good Vid Bro. By the looks Im guessing you used a 24/70mm or a 24/105mm.... If so what Focal length did you find you leaned on most during this shoot?

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

24-70GM and most shots were around 50mm.

[@HazeAnatomy]

@@MichaelWrightPhoto Thank You and Salute. Keep Shooting Great Work!

[@pellier08]

Can you put a link to your fan?

[@flyoverfredusa]

cool video Michael - why would you shoot at iso 200 instead of 100 ?

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

It allowed me to turn down the power on my flash by 1 stop so it would recycle faster.

[@flyoverfredusa]

@@MichaelWrightPhoto figured it would be something along those lines - keep the videos coming man, love your style

[@shadowfoxsports]

Sorry if I don't see it, but which lens were you shooting with and is this your normal studio lens??? TIA (great video btw).

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

ShadowFox Sports 24-70 gm. If I’m doing full length I use it. But I like an 85 better if I have more room or it’s a tighter shot.

[@xpy1]

Question I will be doing a shoot like your this week and the white or gray background is never smooth and I always have one side where the light is good and the other side light fall off… And I will be using a 7ft umbrella and a second Strobe …// what can I do to have perfect background as you do and light placement For the 7ft umbrella and the other strobe thanks in advance

[@reaganjilbavonmusafiri6038]

The thumb thing had me so weak 😂😂😂

[@siby23]

what gray paper code and brand you used. i love that gray background

[@MichaelWrightPhoto]

Superior Seamless Photography Background Paper, Photo Backdrop Paper 107" Wide x 36' (Dove Grey) I got it on amazon.

[@yogesh9477]

What focal length you were using?

[@stevenmeansphotography3861]

Question I see your using 2 lights and I see placement…… I have to do the same shoot tomorrow I am using a 7ft parabolic umbrella And a second octabox how should I place the lights and do I even need a second light if I’m using a 7ft umbrella
