Make Photos That Bring The Viewer In

[@jimcauthen2132]

While people argue over the name of the method and some of the terminology, it's great to see the method shot and explained from camera to lightroom. Definitely something I'll have to go out and try.

[@tonnoki]

This is Brenizer method

[@markkut]

Probably one of the most helpful tutorials I have watched recently. Thank you!

[@husbint]

This is the Brenizer technique! It was popularized by photographer Ryan Brenizer.

[@codyandvictoria]

I forgot about this method! Finn uses it really well. Might give it a shot.

[@CloneDVDair]

Just Brenizer method in 2018.

[@PopSt0ned]

You’ve just inspired me to try new things, thanks!

[@joseantoniosanchez9057]

I've been doing this for years! Never did name it though.

[@dirkmcmillan5992]

Genius technique, I have used it a few times.

[@ovethmartinez]

Thanks so much for sharing this!! Seriously a game changer for me! 🤩

[@jctalk18]

It's a brenizer technique which gives a medium format look.

[@WaldoWolf]

haha, dude, it is called Brenizer Method and it's around for ages. What it does is basically trying to mimic a medium or large format "look"... but it's nothing he invented! He just calls it "15stitch" instead of brenizer method.

[@alexstrohl]

Hey I just want to show you guys how Finn does his work. I know the bokehrama too but he's got his own way of doing them

[@oleugh]

I noticed the same thing. I got it from the wedding photographer as well

[@WaldoWolf]

Totally get that, but technically it's the same method which already has a name which it is known for.

[@gottanikoncamera]

He’s trying to rebrand it so he can own it.

[@NickShaw12]

This has given me something to think about when shooting instead of just throwing on a wider lens. I will have to play with this in the near future! Thanks for this video

[@platinumcar8]

Thanks Alex, amazing episode!

[@danewetton]

Awesome Alex, absolutely loved it

[@gking3551]

Loved it Alex. Thanks for this sneak peak

[@MikeJones3]

I gave this a try with a 35mm lens and my Subject was my wife and her friend. The issue when I had was lightroom had issue stitching and the to poeple were messed up. The first attempt, my wifes leg was missing and the second my wifes friends face got messed up. Assuming maybe they moved slightly, but are there any tips to fix this? Maybe have them centered in the first shot, then all the overlapping shots, just overlap enough but not to the point where there is overlap in the subject from any of the shots?

[@david_amat]

So much value, thank you 🙏🏻

[@GingerPhotographer]

Thank you Alex and Finn - Next time I'm out with the 50 mm I'll give it a go!

[@roamwithdory]

can this technique work in a 35mm F1.4 LII lens?

[@rozbinshalu]

This one was very helpful 🖤🖤

[@connorsenkyr]

So great!

[@mibreit-photo]

Nice tutorail. But I thought he said he uses back-btn focus. So why lock in the focus by pressing down the shutter button half. For locking you have it on the back button, the rest is just shooting. Also why setting to manual when photographing the hand. With back button focus you'll be fine to just put your hand in from of the lens and take another photo. It wont change the focus and you can quickly get back to taking the next set of photos.

[@thejonathanhatch]

Michael Breitung my assumptions: Keeping the focus locked is what gives the stitched image proper cohesion in terms of focus. As opposed to taking a bunch of separate focus images. Which, sometimes "focus stepping" can be beneficial. It's likely that he has his camera set to not allow shutter activation if autofus hasn't found anything.

[@mibreit-photo]

@@thejonathanhatch sure but that is what back Button focus does already ;-)

[@Stalkie]

I think those are two separate things, right? My old canon 550 had a focus lock button on it's back that one could use in conjunction with the back button focus, if I remember correctly...

[@EspenValverde]

Really inspiring!! Thanks a ton Alex Greetings form Denmark

[@ThisDesignLife]

I saw in an interview you did with Chase Jarvis that you went from Design to Photography. Do you think your time in design helped with your photography journey as well?

[@philipculbertson55]

Does it matter the order in which the shots were taken? In other words, do you have to take the shots sequentially around the frame (counter clockwise for example) or can you take the lower half first left to right then take the upper from left to right also? Is Lightroom smart enough to figure that out regardless of the order?

[@AlexisGolnas]

Its so that you dont miss a thing. Going from lower right to upper left you dont know exactly where to shoot, its easier have a sequence. But if you do small and same movements you have a better result.

[@aurorahiraeth5896]

What a way to reinvent the wheel

[@tedcomeau2671]

In a develop of raw would you develop one and sync the remainder. Thanks for the lesson

[@alexstrohl]

Yes I would.

[@suite141]

Your audio is so crisp. Were you using lavalier mics?

[@alexstrohl]

Thanks! Lavaliers in the workshop, shotgun for the intro.

[@suite141]

@@alexstrohl you're welcome bro!! what brand/model?

[@chipsachoy99]

brenizer method?

[@KasonPartridge]

Awesome content! appreciate the tips

[@ywamdan408]

I'd love to support Alex and buy this workshop but everything I've seen from his workshops, I've already learned on my own, considering buying Samuel Elkins' workshop but so far it seems like all these workshops are for beginners

[@alexstrohl]

Well out of the workshops i've done i'd say this is the most pro oriented. Did you look at the modules on the website? most of module 2: moodboards, call sheets, shot list is very much aimed at the pro photographer. you can always give it a spin and if you feel like you're not getting enough out it you can email me and we'll make it right.

[@ewanharvey8924]

@@alexstrohl it rocks dude.

[@cyliemyrus]

Hate to tell you Finn but that style of photography isn’t yours, it belongs to Ryan Brenizer

[@looomax]

No, it doesn't "belong" to this guy I never heard of. I've been merging picture for long.

[@ISunnyChicken]

Loomax it was coined by Ryan Brenizer and is widely know as the Brenizer method or Bokehrama. True, nothing new, though a its a great trick.

[@cyliemyrus]

And who are you?

[@looomax]

@@cyliemyrus Who cares ?

What beanie does Alex have if anyone knows? :)

Black Diamond!

[@7ThrillFishing]

Hey Alex! Please have your team look into customer emails asap! Your new workshop just automatically ordered itself. I got the email saying I ordered it( which I didn't) and I'm getting charged for it. I'm sure it was all a mistake but I just don't want to get charged for it

[@alexstrohl]

Yup all fixed!

[@NateThach]

Alex Strohl >> everything

[@kunaltewari8059]

Sorry Alex and Finn. Mean no disrespect here but its Brenizer effect and one which involves locking in focus on the subject and then going in manual for rest of the frames followed by stitching in whatever software you use. You have to at least acknowledge the person who originally came out with this effect. A bit disappointed with the sort of video. You guys are much better than this

[@FrankNeulichedl]

Shaky cam makes it really feel alive ... not - and the technique has already a name ... Brenizer Method It's a great technique he didn't need to spice up the name - we are all building upon each other - acknowledgement of that is bliss
