How to deal with harsh direct sunlight | Sunny Wedding Photography

[@IzthatafaC]

I have my first wedding tomorrow. Its going to be full sun. Thank you for this video. I will be returning to look into your lightroom videos and sets

[@chivyp]

Hi John! Would you be able to do a video on ND filters during a shoot in sunny conditions? Thank you for the tips!

[@tomy3213]

Thanks for that

[@andykruy4540]

You are a legend John thank you so much. I really appreciate your efforts educating. You are one of the reasons why I have successfully started a wedding photography business the last 2-3 years. I hope you see this message and that one day we can connect. Cheers Andy from New Zealand

[@jbivphotography]

YES! Let’s Go!! I’m glad I could help out with your business that’s awesome to hear and thank you for watching.

The Legend is a different John :) I've just read this and had to comment! Kidding aside, totally get you, this is a cool video. Cheers

[@klenamglover2057]

Variable nd filters is a must!

[@jbivphotography]

Super helpful!

[@antwilkphotography]

[@thesyedasistersblog]

Awesome! Yes, Lightroom tutorial please 😍

[@MartinV.]

Great Video

[@jbivphotography]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@davidalan7]

that variable neutral density filter idea was brilliant, I have a wedding to shoot in a few hours outside in full sun. I paused your video, pulled out my VND filter, I tried your idea, said out loud "son of a Bi##h!" that works great! Thanks!

[@arjb.5344]

Thanks for this video

[@jbivphotography]

You’re welcome. I hope it was helpful.

[@MuseofPhotography]

I love your channel! Another photographer suggested I follow you, and your calm, knowledgeable persona and the information you provide is extremely beneficial! Thank you for sharing the wealth.

[@jbivphotography]

Appreciate it, thanks!

Thanks for the video! :) That is the most common problem at weddings. "Hey, mr. photographer, we want our couple photos right after the wedding lunch. We will be tired at the evening." Communication is the most important. People don't even know that sunlight is the worst light for portraits.

[@jbivphotography]

Exactly! Obviously there's give and take on a wedding day but the cupple really needs to understand that you know what you're doing and you're getting the best results for them.

[@shcook3711]

Omg! Righhhtt! I wish they would understand this.

[@okakafelix3644]

You should meet the equinox sun with a noon Kenyan wedding

[@horiabodeanu7641]

if you cant shoot in the shade and ur forced in direct sunlight: use a speedlight with a diffuser directly at them so the shadows cast on their face will be softer. It's still bad but better than heavy dark shadows!

[@papsny]

Exactly, but i bet 80% of people here do not even know or use flash

[@horiabodeanu7641]

@@papsny they all hide behind the "i use natural light" courtain 😁. Can't judge them but speedlight is elementary if you want to deliver in an event.

[@mina.kuskaya]

Thank you for this advice! I will try this next time. I had so many weddings at noon and I am frustrated with the outcome :/

[@katieisom3317]

Great idea. I’ve got a speedlight but I never thought about using it outdoors in full sun. I have a small wedding this weekend. Outdoors. Full sun. At noon. Yikes.

[@rifem8161]

Would love a video on wedding editing

[@jithunder827]

Thanks for this!

[@jbivphotography]

You’re welcome! I hope it’s helpful.

[@papsny]

Use the sun as a hairlight.. flash the front or use something to reflect light to the front...

[@heatherterrell5902]

Im a new subscriber and I cannot get enough of your videos. Thank you so much for all of the information!

[@jbivphotography]

Welcome to the channel! I’m glad you’re enjoying all the content. I hope it’s helping you out!

[@Mightymetalworx]

Definitely need more light room videos , I have currently been mainly using lightroom classic. But Definitely love courses on editing for wedding photography, another great video

[@anotherbwoodsproduction]

Thank you again..,, I would definitely love to learn more about how you edit in LR….

[@jbivphotography]

Awesome! Yeah I really want to put together some Lightroom stuff for you all.

[@matthewaini8096]

Would be very interested in your course

[@ladmanstudiosphotography]

Anohter fantastic vid man. Great tips for working in harsh lighting!! Definatly giving that app a try. i usually just use the hand trick lol

[@jbivphotography]

Glad you liked it!

[@malmcowy]

Really cool video, ejoyed that. I think backlit portraits are great as well. The lens quality in that situation is important, but if it works it can look magical. Could you please make a video about dealing with difficult clients?

[@agds91078]

Thank you so much for this!

[@jbivphotography]

You’re welcome. I hope it’s helpful!

[@theloneranger263]

Bro just give me chill everytime i watch your video :D

[@jbivphotography]

Glad to hear that

[@attilabodi826]

Nice to see a wedding photographer who actually knows stuff or how to use PS or Lightroom. I feel like most of them these days just take trash photos starting at 5K a shoot with no post.

[@charliebrophy6900]

Great content. Can you please share a link of where to find the adjustable indie filter for harsh sunlight?

[@charliebrophy6900]

keen to also see more content on lightroom editing tips!

[@zacharias21]

Dude please make that post processing/editing video

[@jbivphotography]

👏👏👏

[@abrahamgrc2243]

What ND Filters would you recommend? Thanks for everything that you share, you rock.

[@jbivphotography]

I've been using some by Gobe and I really like them. Check them out at B&H

[@abrahamgrc2243]

@@jbivphotography thanks bro 🤙🏼

[@socraticgadfly]

Having backlit HDR on a camera, and in Photoshop, knowing how to use Shadows/Highlights command, then judicious use of Equalize and a couple other things takes care of most such sunlight problems at most occasions. Split-level ND? I've long used that for sunsets. Photoshop works better the more pixels you give it to work with.

[@Des_Armoni]

NIce!

PLEASEEEE MAKE A LIGHTROOM TUTORIAL IM STUCK ON BRIDGE Lightroom is too complicated for me I’ve watched so many tutorials and I just give up And continue using bridge lol
