Thanks Rose!

[@melodyhutting-anderson7012]

I'm not even a photographer, nor am I even trying to be...I just love her personality...can't stop watching lol

[@alexandragreen6253]

Right?

[@Greg.Lacoste]

yea Im a photographer and I got a lil crush on her personality lol

[@paulharrison9086]

I was interested in photography the same way you would view any other visual art. Now I'm on the technical side of it. I wanted to look at cool photos and now I'm learning about f stops and exposure and all that. I don't even have a camera

[@ohhdxijiri9509]

Samee

[@kristinkirk9511]

Lol I love that. She’s hilarious

[@AngelaCruzTube]

As a professional photographer who just had a photo printed in the New York Times, I bow down to your expertise and experience and learn something every video of yours! There’s so much sunlight all the time Where I live in Florida so I love this video thank you

[@jacket2848]

Congrats!

[@ei3554]

What’s the point of bringing up the exact publication? 💀

[@AngelaCruzTube]

@@ei3554 Because it is a gold standard publication that most photographers aspire to their entire lives and never achieve

[@ButtMacklinFBI]

@@AngelaCruzTube If you're a professional photographer, then I'm the 9th Hokage.

[@jordanbabcock9349]

LOL

[@beas4355]

I’ve started watching you 2 years ago. Now I have my own photography/videography company. Thank you for inspiring me and for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@liana4066]

thank you thank you! im a new photographer and most of my clients as of now are african american sooo with our skin tones people love shooting directly in the sunlight and so its something i've been working on to perfect, your advise was great and will apply it to my next shoot (which is tomorrow) take care stay safe!

[@hausofelysia9870]

I always avoid shooting in direct sunlight, but maybe I should just give it a go after watching this video. Thanks!🥰

[@NikkieGinger]

Hey! Would you possibly shoot with a plus sized model? I'd love to see how you capture their beauty (:

[@christinamaria6986]

Yes please!

[@honey2859]

THISS!!! ❤️

[@massetozacarias5693]

my take will be, I focus on their outfit more to be the most flattering to them, and getting to know the subject

[@-zunaid2124]

I don’t know why I stopped watching your videos. Your personality brings me back to the fold 🥺😂

[@ramongarcia6052]

I love this type of content. Thanks for the tips, this definitely makes direct sunlight not as intimidating.

[@LucianaContartese]

Glad to see a video about light ✨ All the photos on the video are just amazing, specially the first two 🤗

[@imwonderstruckk13]

The deeper I get in to learning about photography the more I realize there is to learn

[@elisedcdk5889]

Hey Jessica I’ve been subscribed to you for almost 2 years now thank you for your videos and tips, you really motivated me to try photography !! I got my own camera one year ago and I have so much fun taking portraits and filming videos ☺️

[@jacquesvermeulen7105]

Thank You For Always Inspiring Us! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@jaywhitebk]

There was a lot of gems in this video along with lots of laughs. Appreciate you for sharing. I’m happy I came across your content.

[@havennevah6191]

Yay I’m so excited for this one! Been struggling with lighting in general

[@djserious9341]

Yeah. I’ve been having issues with direct sunlight for a long time. I have only tried changing angles. The rest of these ideas are super helpful!

[@dittedyret]

Cute! " i love my shadow" Thats self loving right there : ) great video!!

[@filmpuppy]

This is so interesting as a film photographer. I would say to overexpose to preserve the details if using film. Listening to you as a digital photographer is so refreshing from a different perspective ❤️

[@MostlyCaffeinated]

It has never occurred to me (hobby photographer only) that this is opposite. But it's true. (I've DONE both many times, but never actually thought about it.)

[@aysuuuizm4647]

You should do a makeup video/tutorial(?) Your makeup always looks so good, I can’t take my eyes off of *your* eyes lol Anyways, have a good day and thank you for your generous advice!! You’re a real one for that, truly 🙏

[@SleepyMoon98]

Can you do a video about shooting at night?!?! Idk if it’s something that you do often but I would LOVE to know how you do shoots at night or with terrible lighting in general

[@srishtikote6741]

[@toomuchcreativity41lifetim79]

[@SinnerschurchYT]

I’m just a beginning photographer and can’t explain how often I’ll adjust exposure because of the direct sun. Thank you for putting this video out👊

[@svetlanagrobman3476]

Very practical and simply put advice. Great job!

[@jacquelyndolly]

I actually really like shooting in direct sunlight, its a great way to challenge yourself!

[@imwonderstruckk13]

“How low can you go? Your ISO!” 😂😂😂

[@simianinc]

My preference for shooting underexposed is to go for a faster shutter speed rather than closing down the aperture. the amount of background blur is an aesthetic consideration as well as an exposure one.

[@camillakjhr]

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has moments of wishing I didn't have a shadow

[@skttazinrx3395]

omgg jessicaa youre soo goood look at those pictures, thanks for the video

[@rishikapaul4740]

[@carisimss]

Jessica, you are so hilarious girl. I love your personality and content so much 💛

[@ElDominicanoXD]

I love my shadow it goes with me everywhere. 😂😂 I love you Jessica!

[@b991228]

You can take a shot-through umbrella with the strobe pointing at the sun and bounced as a reflector. The shot-through will shade the subject. You power the strobe to mimic the sun intensity, shadow and direction. Imagine it as a fill that has a relative size that is a huge sun. It works!

[@Me__Again]

Is that a BLONDE Azizi in the thumbnail??? Omg I’m in love 😍

[@sahelsaheli6713]

i literally cant sleep without watch at least one of your videos

[@juanquispe3494]

1:58 "Just think Peter Pan." Me: Okay, time to have a child army.

[@rickbiessman6084]

Hey Jessica, I love the grade on your portraits. Especially the one at 3:40. Is that one of your presets? I like how it’s super warm but the different colors have just the right amount of saturation.

[@dumpingclips2391]

2:50 “Peter Pan Peter Pan “ lmfao I’m freaking dying!!!

[@Sara-tp6zd]

I needed this 🌹 you look amazing btw

[@JemimasOutcome]

Golden hour is just the best 🌞

[@chaelayankah808]

Please can you make a video on affordable camera equipment to start with for a beginner who has no idea where to start and just wants to explore photography as a hobby. I love your channel and your personality, i am really inspired by your photography style to start photography. Please update us on your journey to star using film camera.

[@tymoteuszgoscinski]

Great tips Jess I really appreciate it :D

[@josuevelazquez]

Thanks @JessicaKobeissi Now I will always be thinking "Peter Pan!" and singing "how low can you go🎵 how long can you go 🎵"

[@shaziakhan7139]

Been here since the swimchick days Jessica 🙌

[@ridhikulshreshtha1195]

Hey can you show what a diffuser looks like, the price, which one you use from where and most importantly how to use it plss... Really love your work thanks ❤️

[@yuvitech4937]

Your are really a fabulous photographer ❤️ Love from India❤️

[@haleyanne86]

Such great tips! 😍

[@steinsvideos3997]

That was very helpful and interesting, thank you!

[@JEDINITE30]

Sun Position and Path is a great app on the iPhone. I don't know if it is on android. You can hold your phone up and see exactly where the sun will be based on the time and day in the year you choose.

[@nemikatyagi]

i'm literally the 2nd like!!

[@luciawilliams1602]

Me: Can't wait to shoot in the afternoon! Arizona sun: lol I'm about to ruin this girl's career These are honestly great tips and I can't wait to use them :)

[@Rabiuldoes]

Can you make a video on mobile photography..... please

[@josephdavey9593]

I needed this... mentally

[@jinsparklyeyes]

I like to take photos at the 'Golden hour' because it's just too pretty (I only take photos af mi cats, and nothing professionally, and some pics turn out really beautiful bc they don't close their eyes and their eye and 'skin' colors pop out more)

[@DarkSkinned_infatuation]

Please take another video with a beginner camera. Fan from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

[@floralacan2865]

I’m always avoiding shooting in direct sunlight! I’m gonna go to the beach tomorrow to try it!

[@Abhijitsdashinglife]

I love your videos so much

[@paolopalma4137]

Hi Im a Fan from Philippines!

[@kirabisme478]

Great video! I enjoyed filming my taking my own IG pic video and I wish I had this info for that those pics. I had to scrap too many😔

[@Moviesbyjo_]

What about white balance settings, what would you recommend?

[@laylac]

I love your shirt! 😆

[@the_most_ancient_dream1]

Love this!

[@berfine592]

[@patricshaw]

You can get the model to look into a black reflector makes it so much easier

[@luckyenigmas]

THANK you for this! this will be helping me!~

[@theresegalenkatttant]

so helpful💖💖

[@nubrinaik8985]

Omg i needed this

[@michaeltruong405]

Great vid

[@jfmilone63]

Many of the new digital cameras don't have those "f" stops and an overcast day does all the work without making funky camera adjustments

[@lecreamcakes4069]

I did newborn photography in a extremely dark room so I had all my settings set for that, then they wanted to do some family photos in white shirts outside and I forgot to change my settings and it was extremely sunny outside. Needless to say the only thing you could see in the photos were their eyes and the grass. It was scary. And I didn't realize until I was editing, CHECK THE PHOTOS!.
