Portrait Location Ideas for your next shoot!

[@Needacreate]

13+ minutes of really helpful and practical advice. Greatly appreciated, Omar.

[@franclaudios8744]

Hi Omar. I like when you make this kind of videos, like those about lightning. Not so many views as with gear, so, thank you for keeping on doing them! :)

[@erosario64]

Awesome video. The sample images at the different locations is a nice touch.

[@tonyhayes9827]

This is a seriously good video Omar as was another instructional video you made called `Getting Beautiful Lighting from just 3 Speedlights! Temple Shoot.' You're actually a really good teacher man and would love to see more of these. You'd be a great teacher in a photography school is what I'm thinking. You should consider it because your hands on teaching is really very good. Practical classes with you would be very popular, I imagine. I just imagine if I had you as a tutor back in photography school you'd be my dead set fave man. Love the respect you show for other people too.

[@briantafelmeyer7337]

Your clarification of asking for permission was spot on. Especially with a client (or clients parent) it’s just more professional.

[@jacquelinedowney3727]

I seriously smile during every video of yours. Thank you for being you and enjoying what you do....it shows!!! Not to mention you are awesome at what you do!!! Have a great day ; )

[@alicel8928]

‘0:58 texture. Loved that shot… and all your talking and walking it through. So enjoyable, helpful and engaging to watch. 🙏🏽

[@cheryllynn4737]

This is such an amazingly helpful video. So cram packed of great tips and adding your gorgeous photos in there so helpful!!! And it goes without saying , the comedic faces and voices. 😂. “Just shoot…and RUN!” 🤣

[@christianpetersen1782]

Interesting and useful ideas here. Thank you Omar. I suppose it’s best to scout the area a day or two before the shoot so as to advise the subjects what colours they might wear if/when strong colours are in the background.

[@dizzaydrod]

Thanks again for the amazing tips Omar.

[@TKiefer74]

Great Video Omar Gonzalez. Learning by doing and learning from your stories. Thank you. Wonderful Pictures.

[@alepirov]

Lovely video full of good shots and inspirations. Thanks Omar!

[@queeniepennington9501]

[@sidehustlers336]

Best tutorials on the net

[@denniscrommett]

This is so great; such helpful, practical advice, and a total pleasure to watch as always. Thank you!

[@yamarisdonisdujmic]

Loved all of this. I was torn between commenting on your kid asking politely (good parenting) and how awesome your eye is for seeing textures. Can't wait to use these tips with my mini tomorrow! Thanks as always.

[@sereneandhsa8801]

Love this so much! Gonna go out and find some locations to shoot. Love watching your videos, funny and very helpful 😊

[@giselesmith7795]

Lots of good ideas and information here Omar. Thanks.

[@keithsandercock1412]

Still looks like a lot of "walkabout" between locations. Loved the "shoot and run" advice. Enjoyed the video.

[@cheska9999]

Great video, Omar. Your videos are not just useful but diverting. Keep it up!

[@JUSKOOLKREATIONS1]

beautifully done, great work as always,

[@steffen3112]

Thanks once again for a splendid video - appreciate all of them them so much in my own "education programme" as an amateur :) .. Pls keep on continuing .. I need to learn a lot more.

[@malcolmevans2304]

Omar, some great advice in simple locations, love it!

[@gilbertwalker6769]

Great advice, Omar! Thanks for your videos, that you always make with a sense of humor. 👍🏻

[@WesKriesel]

Super helpful info and perspectives from a clear professional! Omar! This was a great video!

[@kenc2257]

Some very interesting, and helpful, ideas.

[@Martinez_Photos]

What a great video!

[@i18nGuy]

Very helpful. I always struggle with backgrounds and this provided some good suggestions for how to think about it and to make better choices.

[@timrosenthal46]

That was great thank you ... I can never get too much portrait shooting advice !

[@erikalemancreative]

Great video! The reviews are good but really appreciate these type of tips and example videos. Makes me want to go out and shoot portraits. Thanks! 👍

Great vidéo, thanks ! Love your work.

[@ssthapit]

Very helpful tips. Thank you.

[@peterjoseph3839]

Another GREAT video Omar! 👌👍🔝 I would like to see a follow up with your ways to set up lighting in the streetphoto scene

[@MoeMorales]

Now I have all your secrets!! Boohahaha!! The Portrait World is mine!!!! Great video Brother. Love Popup Omar lol

[@goldierush4242]

I love your work, thanks for sharing your process.

[@Pantheragem]

"Wow! Look at that guy!" "Wooooowww! Oh my gosh...." I rewound that three times. I did much laughing.

[@fetzinger10]

Some really good advice, thanks Omar!

[@ZaZupahShpy]

Man Omar, your videos always have this uplifting vibe to them!

[@BrandonBillinger]

Long time viewer first time commenter... Great video any advice on posing? I find that is my weakness when it comes to taking portraits.

[@কাঁঠালেরআমসত্ত্ব]

I guess this is a struggle of every hobbyist photographer :)

[@jokerswild349]

How do your clients come dressed and how do you find a scene that matches the color of clothing they wear?

[@zulyarturganov1163]

Great video Mr. Omar

[@cbell3408]

Excellent Video. Thank you!

[@saikrishnakorivi]

This is wonderful, Omar. Understanding the thought process of an established photographer really helps budding photographers. Thanks for the video. Cheers.

[@paulchoccyt1303]

Great video, so useful Omar!

[@jamesm9560]

I'm big into the Fujifilm system and method. I'm guess a Fuji film fan boy.

[@krazyk57]

OMG… The pop up Omar’s….😝😝😝

[@V.Madjid]

*FUN FACTS* The Model-Omar POP-UP 7 times in this video 😂

[@JK-wy4zf]

Great! Super interesting and creative sample shots. Gratulation from a german fan 👏🏻😊 Omar: one of world -wide top five KZbin channels regarding photography 👋🏻

[@bighairywheel]

Brilliant vid!

[@judylindo6874]

WOW I'm thinking of hiring you! :) Beautiful unique portraits!!!!

[@DavidVelezPhotography]

Hey Omar! Great content! I always seem to end up in a park-like setting. I've been playing catch-up on your videos since discovering you. Jersey guy as well, so same sense of humor! Keep up the great work!

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for the tips.

[@akalli]

Oh my gosh, Omar. You had me laughing hard at least 3 times during this video, I had to rewind a bit because I couldn't concentrate on what you said next. ("Omar from the future", cracked me up) Anyway, you offer such valuable information and I learn a ton by watching you. Thanks for making the learning experience super fun.

[@AllRedLFC]

Great advises Omar! 👍

[@stephenchapman4670]

Great video. Thank you

[@mishaled]

Omar, I love your videos!!! I would very much like seeing a video in the style of "a day in the life"- a shoot from the choosing the locations, the composition, the raw picture, and then the edit after (if there is any)!

[@TheDanBurgess]

Great stuff here. Also, I tend to lean on the side of permission ahead of time. I don't want to be "that photographer" that ruins it for everyone else.

[@djking9828]

Great video, 🙏

[@por925]

Very helpful thanks

[@golfgal57]

I have been struggling with finding places for environmental portraits, thank you so much, this was extremely informative and very helpful!!

[@rgwightman]

I want to come shoot with you sometime.. Great vid 👍🏾

[@Lifeof-Jo]

Great stuff. Ty

[@tjsinva]

Good ideas. 🎯👍 🥂

[@sevemiller]

Another great video, Omar. I always pick up a few tips. Love your sense of humor and that you don't take yourself too seriously. Just curious, the boy leaning against the the short concrete columns/wall on the train platform at 9:43...South Orange?

[@lavoy4]

Great advice

[@JanneRanta]

For merch you could print out that pop-up Omar and sell it as a cutout. Just call it "compositional aid". Maybe pair it with one of those composition frames.

[@jaym5938]

9:53 Can you get this saturation in camera or must post-processing be used? Great tips! Thanks.

[@jonesmatthewlee]

The doorway at 9:54 is amazing! Wish I could find a place like that too shoot.

[@vic_the_roman]

Your son is right. I scout locations often but when I shoot band EPK's or whatever "edgy" portraits , I have my small area in downtown Orlando with lots of options within a block. So, when I scout new locations , thats what I am looking for, easy access, safe and minimal walking to keep everyone involved comfy.

[@rickylee1894]

Omar has good gene in look and grey matter. Good and informative video. Keep it up Omar 🙏

[@momchilyordanov8190]

The kid at 10:10 is my favorite :)

[@alazaruz]

Genius.

[@reginabowe5132]

Great video! What would you say your percentage is for shooting natural light vs OCF? Do you take all those pieces of equipment with you just in case?

[@hkawnglumlazuk8668]

Thank you!

[@wingofwinter888]

got it! shot and run!!! LOL

[@SJSquarePhotos]

Nice video! I scout location days before my shoot, I sometimes hate that lol it's my ocd lol

[@danielschmaderer]

Montclair, New Jersey looks so much nicer than Montclair, California. Great video.

[@marcusrivera4090]

Hey Omar! Will you be getting the new 23mm f1.4 any time soon?? Haven’t seen any vids on it yet

[@outofplace321]

What lenses would you use for manly indoor events-sports with an fuji xt3? Highly appreciated enjoying your trusted and educated videos. I started fuji cause of you as i brought a xt20 with 27mm and 35mm f2.

[@ogonzilla]

Honestly for indoor low light sports, I'd grab my Sony. For Fuji I have used the 56mm 1.2 to keep ISO low. But I keep my Fuji's outdoors. 😊

[@outofplace321]

@@ogonzilla what sony cameras would you recommend? Isn't the colours a bit off then the fuji? Thanks

[@albertobeto8120]

Omar from the future looks like a cool guy

[@CrisConstantin]

Sneaky photographer…pff. And apologizing for it…ha. Great video, Omar. Just messing with you🤣👍

[@natekong3596]

Can't stress enough about arrive early. I can't imagine going in blind for any photoshoot.

[@SaharNawaz]

Was this the video shot on the zv-1?

[@dccd673]

What about holding objects? Does it harm photos?

[@p3rrypm]

So how wide were the lens you were using to get the feet and full body in focus?

[@peterw616]

Would be cool if you filmed one of yor shoots. Is that possible? :)

[@davidkeith3648]

Hey Omar, Can you recommend an online photography course that you know is good? My 18 yo son is asking so I am tapping my favourite Photo site.Yours.

[@donkey3081]

Just shoot and run! Hahahahaha i like that 😆😆😆🤣

[@CallejasMichael]

NOO I LIVE IN MONTCLAIR I WANT TO JOIN YOU ON A SHOOT AND LEARN 😭

[@djtiemens7481]

I bet the kids love you.

[@daxvolfan]

"Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" -Omar And my Dad told me this too.

[@sarapanzarella97]

I need help - I was taking pictures of a group of teenagers for homecoming - sometimes using the back button focus and sometimes not - but either way my problem is with this camera is changing where the focus is takes too long - should I just switch to face recognition? I am afraid to set the focus and keep taking pics - I am afraid if I set it wrong I will get a bunch of pics focused on the trees or something. Doesnt help that at this point in my life I need readers to change the menu setting. :(

[@ogonzilla]

What camera?

[@MatsAcane]

just shoot & run :D

[@oamyway975]

👌👌👌👌 🙏🙏
