Move Your Camera With Your Model to Get Incredible Portraits | Mark Wallace

[@adibhai12345]

No complicated terms.l or tiles. Just pure play of light and composition. One of the best tutorials I've seen in a while

[@rajpassy4154]

It's great to see how comfortable the model is around you Mark!

[@aniljoglekar5837]

thank you for sharing this simple and easy way of experimenting with single light photo shoot around the model..

[@Alex_science]

Fantastic photos! This model is unbelivably beautiful. The colombian woman are stunning!!

[@TNrick]

I always enjoy your videos. Thanks so much for posting!🙏

[@careylee5951]

Wicked shoot! Thanks Mark!

[@Bharatvarsh000]

Mark walles.....you are amazing👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@WolfQuantum]

That was excellent. Simple and exploring. Getting out of the usual, standard, and let's say it, the safe approach. All were great shots, but the ones that included the edge of the light really added a storytelling sense. On another note. We watch these photographers that most of us have never met yet end up feeling like we're on a first name basis with them. That's when the videos are connecting. This was a really beautiful exercise in minimalist studio photography. Instead of controlling the light it was more like the photographer, model, and the light were in a flowing dance. More an enjoyable thing to watch than an instructional video while giving great inspiration and instruction.

[@scorpious1957]

thank you both to the very inspirational model and yourself very captivating work

[@Strongbear2013]

Great helpful video and fantastic model. Her bubbly personality and energy reminds me of Marisa Roper from Daniel Norton's videos.

[@MrBena18]

Beautiful model and photos too.

[@RonK]

stunning photographs, amazing. Thanks !!

[@charleyl264]

A good one Mark and Karen. You have convinced me to try this, if we can ever get past this COVID problem. My studio was only used a few times last year, and then only for shoots of my family. I hope we don't ever have to face another year like 2020.

[@olive_noire]

Perfect. Great, straight to the point. Photos are gréât, model is gorgeous.

[@krishnansv4321]

Thanks Mark, love your videos! You’re an excellent photographer and excellent instructor who always explains things so well!

[@eliashernandez1748]

Great work. Love it

[@MikeJamesMedia]

I love this idea of setting up a single light and then just having fun, to see what happens. Excellent work, Mark and Karen!

[@vijaychitte6921]

wonderfully done ... she is really amazing as amazing as your concept of video ...

[@brad_in_yyc]

What a great video and amazing pictures Karen and Mark. Thanks for sharing a different insight!

[@TheSeniorGolfMan]

Great exercise Mark. It produced some amazing results there. One to try out asap.

[@kimmichiels784]

Love this video and of course it helps having a gorgeous and enthousiastic model like Karen

[@malhamishery9]

Because of you and other contributors, I just updated my my camera through Adorama. Thanks 😊

[@jean-pierrecantin3546]

Just finished (minutes ago) a photoshoot using this idea and we had a blast. Terrific results.

[@TheOlandex]

Mark - you're great. Great photographer, great teacher and I think a genuinely nice guy. Adorama is very good at choosing really good people to represent them, and that's important. This was a fun shoot and I am going to do one just like it soon as I can!

[@LuposVoice]

Great idea and pictures with your beautiful model! I like it! Thanks! Wolf

[@gregorybuzdyk6074]

awesome process showcase and pics, thanks for sharing!

[@pepe2618]

A game changing video for me. Love it!

[@trizzleseven]

Loved the dance at the end! X-D

[@b991228]

Is it the F/8 &/or lighting distance that gives you the great skin texture?

[@michaelhull1813]

Skin texture is basically shadows, and there isn't really a magic distance, because the skin is a huge determining factor. Good lighting don't fix bad skin. The f stop is going to determine how much is in focus from front to back, aka Depth of field.

[@alun7006]

Beautiful results! I really need to move around more when shooting.

[@kevinw7995]

Nice quick video, cool results, and a great exercise to try at home! 👍👍

[@silvinaslatopolsky2121]

Amazing! Thank you

[@guilhermemoura1550]

great episode, such inspiration

[@tomasvojencak]

Very beautiful video + photos 👌👌

[@LucasRafaelDesenhista]

I loved the photos of closes :) great tips

[@photonsonpixels]

Very nice tutorial, Mark. A follow up showing your post processing technique would be great also! Happy New Year.

[@michaelschmitt5413]

Love this shooting approach. I's so fluid and allows the model to be spontaneous and creative. Thanks so much for an inspiring video. I just need someone to shoot in my studio.

[@lamorimferreira]

Excellent !!!

[@adelgundyrin9309]

Great episode, Mark. Thank you)

[@gustavomonasterios6083]

I like your set up, which pro-foto trigger on the M 10 do you have? great shots

[@ferchobezaury435]

Qué buenas fotos, Mark!! lo sencillo que lograste un resultado tan artístico hace ver la gran experiencia que tienes en la fotografía! saludos desde México.

[@luistunonjr.304]

Great one !!!! I have a shoot tomorrow; I'm going to try it.

[@MikeKing-ei4cl]

Thanks Mark, thanks Adorama

[@jacek9970]

Great job.

[@jorgefiocchi]

Hola Mark! Excelentes tus videos. Son muy didácticos y divertidos. Me gustó mucho éste! Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos. Aprendo mucho con vos y con tu colega Gavin Hoey alias "SUBSCRIBE"!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Un gran abrazo desde la ciudad de Rosario en Argentina!!!

[@rochiellebevans1783]

Excellent

[@ILOVEMFEO]

was very intrigued by the concept of ''partial'' photos (chin, or shoulder, or you name it), but you ...forgot to take such shots haha! :) never mind. great video anyways.

[@johnleighdesigns]

Gosh I am so late to see this episode! With those camera settings and small softbox with a grid I was expecting a completely black background and floor

[@ivanlupi5123]

Sure, when you have a model like that. It’s simple. Great job and video. Hate multi light setups

[@shaunkelly3562]

I used to work for a commercial photographer and he used to say, "Let's go shopping!", which meant same thing as what Mark is referring to moving left, right, low angle, etc, etc or looking for different angles! ...Thanks Jim!

[@shakebake2680]

Awesome as always!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@andrewgreig1197]

Hi Mark, This is a fantastic episode, concentrating on getting photographers to move their shooting position and this is true for landscapes, travel and street as well as studio. Using the 50mm prime in this session meant that you had to "zoom with your feet". Something I noticed as Karen walked on set in the bandeau was that her loop was not tucked in, and than as the shoot progressed I realised that you just wanted a clean neckline and shoulders. But maybe there is a topic which can be explored, the tiny things which can be fixed in seconds but take minutes to fix in post. Garment loops, pony tail bands on wrists and equipment intruding in the frame, all need time to clean from the image. And post is too expensive. I cut loops off garments in my studio wardrobe but I I don't cut the hands off models.

[@Oleg_Dem_]

Awesome!

[@raydunn3501]

Hi Mark,,, Love watching you n Gavin shooting,,, best content on Adorama,,, Question: I notice you had a grid on your softbox,,, If you brought your model further forward with the Lightsource would that eliminate light spill on the backdrop,,, but maybe make the backdrop go darker or even black,,, I ask because I dont have a grid for my softboxes ,,, and also dose it matter what size and shape the softboxes are,,, Many Thanks Great images by the way and Iv'e added Karen on Instagram

[@alun7006]

That would work, yes, or just feather the softbox so it's pointed away from the background. You just have to be careful of spill and bouncing off walls etc. Softbox size does have an effect, but the most important thing is *relative* size: a small softbox up really close will be softer than a giant one far away.

[@JoePrettner]

Ahhhh Medellin city of mamacitas and models! just packing my gear!, nice tips!!

[@WHEELSRT7]

Awesome thanks so much...I can do this

[@oamyway975]

Excellent 👌👌

[@ShivamPatel0119]

Amazing simple tips🙏

[@jasonlacey5979]

Excellent..

[@igormelnikov1889]

Thank you very much!

[@sijilo]

Eye catching 👀👀😍

[@scottcjohnson59]

A softbox and grid are beyond my budget, could similar results be gained using a speedlight and umbrella?

[@charlybread]

hello, Mark, and congratulations on the good pictures. A courtesy if you can. You could tell me the model and the brand of the exposometer you used in this video. You know I have Prophoto, but my Sekonic L 478DR model can't synchronize it with Prophoto. Thank you in advance and happy New Year🤝🍾🍸

[@coconuthair]

Great Video Mark and karen. How did you decide what setting you wanted. I know what you said in the beginning, But someone inexperience like me. How would I know how to start my settings. To get this effect?

[@thehumanityoflife6460]

Just copy his setting, with the exception of the shutter speed, because some cameras can only synchronize with the monolight/strobelight at 1/125. Check the specification of your camera and write it down at about this size of font, on a self-stick label and stick it on the back of your camera to remind you. Some photographers like the background very blurry, so they use a wider aperture of their lens, like f2.8, f1.2. I also use a hand-held light meter that can read monolight/strobelight output on incident mode, as well as incident mode without flash, and reflected reading with/without flash, as well as cine (video light) mode. Some photographers don't even use handheld light meters nowadays.

[@HaiMainite]

amazing. definitely gonna try it out. thanks for that idea ;)

[@sbphotography3751]

Thanks Mark - great vid - I guess shot pre-Covid?

[@walo2k5]

Awesome!!!

[@shanec4441]

Great instruction. The strobe did not go off on some shots

[@jcblum1507]

amazing!!!!

[@TNrick]

Excellent video (as always)! Do you experience any problems with distortion with a 50mm lens when you are shooting in very close? Thanks again for posting this. 🙏🙏🙏 Very well done!

[@Sportserjeff]

Great shots, let Karen know I love her shoes! Also a tip from one old guy to another knee pads for a long session like this.

[@stanspb763]

Boy, that is the truth. Knee pads or having small kneeling pads around the studio so knees are saved from the usual concert studio floors. Getting eye level is often the most flattering vantage point. Flattery however is fine for client images but model images are usually intended for a message or expression.

[@KevyB.]

Whats this metering you're before the shots?

[@prashantpawar8969]

Awesome

[@maggiefeng483]

Love this!

[@jcsuarez8970]

Amazing

[@00Skyfox]

What’s all the stuff written on the walls of the studio?

[@luissalazar2021]

What, how are you got to Colombia , hey brother are you a resident in Colombia ? You must be having fun everyday in Medellin , good job team

[@maggiefeng483]

Love this

[@supercooled]

Mark relocated to Colombia?

[@marclavallee5113]

what is the power of the flash... manual or TTL?

[@TheBehiels]

What would happen if you didn't put a grid? Beautiful pictures by the way!
