[@dizzydaydreamwishes]

Okay, I am in love with this model. Every time Jessica showed her a picture she was so supportive and positive of the image. photography and modeling is such a genuine partnership to create art and these two show that perfectly.

[@SallyLindberg]

when the model did the disney wand thing i fell in love

[@miguelcarmona3036]

Anisa is so funny 😂 omg I love her

[@kellykade]

Right I laughed out loud. Lol

[@daniel.francisco]

And when she yelled at the sun. She's awesome.

[@wanjanjama]

"Hi I'm Anisa and you're watching the Disney channel" period!

[@rafalgelzok]

This ad is the best. "Hey, I have product for you from my sponsor. It's probably good, but I don't know what to say about it. Oh, it has a different colors! It's lightweight. Model approved. The end. Ok, now we can go to shoot, thanks God." :D

[@JashDoshi]

😂😂😂

[@shinxgowon]

ooh pls don't comment stuff like that, i like it and it's funny but it's better for the content creator if we comment positive things about the sponsor even if we don't like it. it might also help her get more sponsors and stuff in the future :) no offense

[@venom5809]

@@shinxgowon Honestly it made me actually check it out where I probably wouldn't have otherwise. lol

[@rafalgelzok]

@@shinxgowon first I want to say that I love Jessica's content and she has beautiful personality. Ok, now I can speak about my comment. I think this ad is funny as it is and I checked this company because of that. They have amazing pictures, products etc. This product placement wasn't ideal - Jessica told us about this but not used it or created environment to check how good it is. I know, sometimes they can only speak about that and it's ok. It's not ok, when creator/influencer tells us about product without opinion. For me this ad has only specs, sorry. Creators can learn from community and this is purpose of that comment. For many people that comment is funny because of Jessica's style - but new viewers maybe can't understand that. I think more problems can create haters, not constructive feedback. And I know that next time Jessica will do it in different way. And last thing... people constantly skip ads, now they watch it for sure! :)

[@SeanKimStyle]

Her personality is one of the reasons why people like her

[@michelleibay144]

When the model also hypes up the photographer 🥺❤️

I love how I'm planning on doing outdoor shoots because of COVID and then this beautiful video pops up in my recommendations. Thank you for this amazing video Jessica.

[@gordonkako]

Thank you very much Jessica. It was very refreshing and enlightening watching this. Especially that you went solo, helping us see that one can use a reflector even when they have no assistant in that particular setting. Thanks

[@PlayFactoryYT]

Honestly, the cloudy day shoots always come out fire! Am i the only one? lol

[@ROBX_]

same !

[@uchuyle6139]

Same. Many of my clients prefer shoots in direct sunlight, but I secretly just want the clouds to come up lol. Soft light is the best light

[@PlayFactoryYT]

Đức Huy Lê lol client don’t understand that the soft even lighting is better

[@kamesha9012]

Totally agree... clouds give a turmoil vibe.. that portrays a realistic view on life... The sun is overrated.

[@marydavis8012]

It's because the clouds act like a big scrim

[@photographsdaily33]

Jess I love how real you are with your photography like when you tell us you need to check the picture and adjust the setting at first :D or when you say it could come out dark on first try. I love it because I still feel professional if my settings need adjusting. Also love your photos & you're a gem

[@Latterose0922]

The part where you had to hop while holding the reflector made laugh so hard. The struggles of shooting by yourself.

[@taposimredu6601]

A female photographer showing stuffs in youtube...bless you.i just got into photoshop and im highly inspired by you. Thank you

[@gordon_kwong]

I'm pretty sure when you do an ad you're supposed to use the product. 😂

[@AlvesDarlann]

It was too bright tô use that light, it would not effect The final image...

[@nunocarneiro464]

That isn't usable outside during the day

[@rahzlave8842]

Haha, reflector comes out - blinds model 😂. You’re a joy to watch 👍🏽

[@shaneikiyasteel7073]

I was always wondering the benefits of the reflector and now I see it! I wish we got to see come cool things with the Nan Lit, but hopefully in the next one? Great job Jess!

[@potatofuryy]

Kinda off-topic, but I love this community. It’s so nice, supportive and wholesome

[@mariamellaa]

Wow she’s such a good model I hope her career goes well

[@veramartins6590]

I would love to learn about camera settings for portraits Jessica! Thank you for this video

[@thesleepione247]

with every pic the info is on the image, unless i'm misunderstanding. Unless you meant to get images like hers it comes down to how you edit the images and personal preference

[@Bob-Horse]

Vera Martins - Are you on IG? I can give you some good pointers on portraits, including using studio strobes if that helps?

[@musaesteezy5719]

@@Bob-Horseam on IG can use the pointers , you can send me the links on @studiokingcross

[@marydavis8012]

Try practicing in AV mode or TV mode on your camera. That way you can practice adjusting one setting while the camera adjusts the rest for you before you go full manual.

[@alinus4techno]

What i don't understand, is she shooting in face tracking or in a one spot metering...hmm

[@andypandy8744]

the models personality is so adorable 🥺🥺💚💚

[@kazdro9176]

Fave part of the video, watching Jessica hop around with the reflector lol. Here's me thinking I'd need to organize an assistant😂

[@lilycruz2059]

Thank you for bringing out the reflector as a beginner I didn't know it would make such a difference.

[@ninae.e]

If you don’t have a reflector or dont wanna buy one you can use aluminium paper and hold it straight 😉 (I saw this on tiktok haha)

[@beckydarrow]

If you have those windshield sun blockers those also work in a pinch!

[@michelle4762]

Just go to hobby lobby and buy some reflective card stock lmao

[@purestress2]

Or just put foil paper on a foam board

[@altarego7]

I literally just got my first reflector a couple days ago! Perfect timing for this video. Thank you very much Jessica, this was super helpful.

[@daniellelabelle7923]

This video is so helpful and I love the photos! I love these beginner type videos. I am slowly learning and really am trying to understand lighting better. I really appreciated seeing how the reflectors made a difference. I loved the mix of tips you had and you are so funny! I would love to see something for beginners like....shooting in studio, what type of light to use and affordable options for set up. Great video! Love your work! These pictures are soooooo beautiful!

[@itsjazlyn156]

I neededdd this Im taking my own senior pictures I’ve learned so much from youtube I’ve been practicing a lot and only use manual settings I’ve even got my own camera and 2 lenses and photoshop and it was still cheaper than a professional photographer, a lot of their galleries have out of focus pictures and the lighting is terrible so I’m so glad to try it out I really hope my golden hour pics turn out good! I’m learning about balance in pictures right now and poses!

[@lolypisci]

I love cloudy weather for making photoshoots 💕💕

[@therock1232100]

Thanks for this type of content. Good to see that model again. She's a lot of fun.

[@kendraa7013]

Absolutely loved this video. Some really nice pointers for a fledgling photographer (just a hobby right now), and watching her channel before bed just makes me so excited to get out there and just start clicking. I honestly can't wait to take loads of terrible pictures that way I can one day learn to take some at Jessica's level. Thank you for being such an inspiration, a good explainer, and just being super fun to watch and learn from.

[@notverifiedyetandistillnee1688]

Anisa: hey I can help you out with the reflector if u want Jessica: no honey thank you, I can handle it perfectly **Continues to struggle**

[@jottareisphotographia6100]

Thank you Jessica for sharing so much of your work. The more you share the more I learn. God bless you!!!! Greeting from Brazil.

[@unicornwitchprincess1004]

The last time I was inspired and feeling creative to do a photoshoot laying down in a field, I picked up ticks....photography fail, hahaha. Great video, Jessica, thank you for showcasing your routine, it's super helpful for us beginners. :-)

[@nikoumali]

I really love your contents, Jessica. Continue to inspire us!

[@fabianbarajas8497]

10 to 11 minutes into the video when the model starts screaming for the sun to come out I lost it. Too funny!

[@cupswithhandles]

This is actually such a great and thorough video, thank you!

[@illananunes3401]

Omggg, thanks Jessica! I bought a camera a month ago and I'm still learning this. Thank you! You're amazing!

[@aestheticlover9476]

Thanks for the tip 👍 😀 Jess The photos was good too. Stay safe and healthy .❤

[@jennifermiranda7674]

I made my own small size reflector out of cardboard and aluminum foil that is compact enough to carry around and hold when I do self shots. Everyone should make one and keep handy when taking selfies. It works wonders.

[@whosyourbrad]

Those last shots are 🔥🔥

[@MaryJoyTaneo]

I adore the model ❤❤❤❤ Jessica as always has been very informative and fun. The model added a whole new fun!

Thank you so much Jessica for sharing tips , your every videos are inspiring.

[@Bob-Horse]

I think I remember reading once that shooting from a lower angle gives the model a more powerful image and makes them look taller, not that you need that here. Do you agree with that? Jessica, you are so sweet! The only photographer to combine a photo shoot and yoga in the same session. You took some beautiful shots there, I could see them in Vogue.

[@meisong0717]

I personally prefer cloudy weather. I had just finished a wedding photoshoot with a couple. One week ahead of the wedding, I scouted out the location where the couple wanted to have their wedding photo taken. The weather was sunny and the lighting was one of the worst I have ever seen. So much harsh direct lights, and uneven shadows. But thank God that on the wedding day it was cloudy because it was right after the rain from the previous night. Oh goodness, the lighting was perfect for both the ceremony and the couple photoshoot.

Usually I yell at the sky when it first starts raining, not so much when the sun disappears. I believe that it works both ways. Make sure you use a high pitched shrill. Very nice demonstration btw.
