[@chasinglightandtrails]

Excellent. Enjoyed that bts talk through. I did have to struggle through the music though, too loud in places. Thanks for the video, I appreciated it.

Good stuff Ian. I always enjoying when you walk us through a shoot.

Thank you! I learned a lot!

[@IanSpanier]

Thank you!

Great instructional video, what is the name of that dual bracket on top of the camera? And why can't you use a camera connect app to Talk to the iPad? Thank you

[@weddingbells100]

Great video, fascinating insight from a pro on location during a live shoot.

Great content! What rolling bag do you use to haul c stands? Been trying to find a decent bag for heavy gear like c stands. Thx!!

[@JoanEscala]

Lovely!

Great Video!

[@tonyw3250]

Nice work, I love the last B&W bike shot especially

[@IanSpanier]

Thanks!!

This is the best walk through I have seen Ian. The thought process in my opinion, is a much better pathway to creating a narrative in each image - what am I saying with this image and how do I achieve that with the tools I have with me.

[@IanSpanier]

Thank you!!

It was very ironic when watching your video that I was actually thinking about Joel Grimes and his shooting style. Very cool shoot and really a perfect subject in his own environment. Nice job.

[@IanSpanier]

Love Joel’s work! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Nice job! Subbed!

How many MP is the camera you use and how is the performance of the Camranger 2 with the camera?

[@charliegreen1989]

Great video Ian, need a commercial version of that notebook 😂. It’s a good job you knew the venue and didn’t take the 2 umbrellas for the stack, not sure they would have fit.

[@IanSpanier]

Thx Charlie!

[@aizen8185]

This is great stuff!! Right to the point and very interesting how to direct the subject. I have a couple questions, you mentioned in the video you’re from LA, how much would be a session like that one from a professional photographer ( anybody?). Trying to see what the cost range in the city. Second, did the subject brought the idea or it was like more conceptual photography for you? I love the R5 with 24-105mm a great combo 🙌🏻🙌🏻

How do you notate lighting positions in your notebook from a prior on location photo shoots?

[@IanSpanier]

I typically don't notate that anymore as I can tell from the angle of light in the sample image and/or I tend to light from the same general angles. Note as well, that it's a variable based on the location, my subject, etc. etc.

Very

[@BrianKilgore-b4d]

Very good show, partly because I use strobes and a light meter too. And the final shots are very good. He should have several prints. (and ther's no "a" in the middle of aperture.) -BAK-

[@AR-vf7vg]

Why ruin the music ? Not loud enough to cover you voice. (But thank You. Generous.)

[@RonMotley-t3j]

Can’t hear him over the music!!😢

[@IanSpanier]

Speak softly and carry a big camera? 😬😬
