[@dayanagzz7340]

*Me seeing the video:* What if the place is not ugly but me? 😂

[@sabeenahsan9343]

😭😭😭😭😂😂😂

[@chappyllama4445]

Same 😂

[@nunoallas]

My dyslexia reading this "photo ideas if you are ugly" 😂

[@TheTabSeries]

the title lmaooooooo this is why Jess will forever be one of my favourites

[@fluffinn]

"Do you live somewhere beautiful with castles, gardens, meadows and mountains?" People living in Luxembourg: 👁👄👁

[@MajorMkor]

Where are all the famous Luxembourg photogs at? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Banyo__]

True story, I went to a parking garage on a day it was closed and literally snuck in and went up to the highest floor to shoot from the roof. I was waiting for my model thinking no one else was there. After 10 minutes of totally being in my own world and just taking shots of the street below as I waited, a security guard approached me and he screamed over to me "what are you doing up here, please back away from the edge!" I was thinking, I'm trouble, just snuck in here, but he was like, please back up and come towards me. I realized in that moment he thought I was trying to jump off the roof. OMG! I was like, oh, oh no, I'm just shooting down at the ground, not going to jump sir! When I went over to him, I was seriously explaining, just a photographer waiting to shoot some shots, but he explained to me that I needed to leave because apparently a person had actually jumped the month before and he didn't want that to happen again. Now I can't ever pass by that garage without thinking about that.

[@ritasevenchip5689]

Damn

[@brittssleepsaround]

I watch this lady for 2 reasons: Her voice is soothing & she gives sound advice.

[@Ελευθερία-γ5σ]

a park, playgrounds , flower bushes, textured walls, parking structures, rooftops, blue sky as a background, construction places, gas stations, trash cans

[@matthewjamil1171]

What ten heck I was literally looking at google maps 20 minutes ago wondering where to take pictures in Detroit and I couldn’t find anything!!! SO I REALLY NEEDED THIS

[@MajorMkor]

You guys have a good textured wall situation going on there! I feel like suburbs are so much harder to shoot in sometimes.

[@joshyybarker5564]

i literally cannot stop staring at the ring light in her glasses lmao

[@RaceJan]

I absolutely hate those ringlights...

[@alizetvargas]

So distracting U_U

[@yaritzasoto9729]

i think it so easy for us to just look passed places because we’re looking for the best location or the perfect one and without realizing we could have passed several beautiful places!

[@abchappell01]

At first I said, “She has got to be kidding”. But as I watched you create beauty in these challenging locations, I was definitely impressed. You are more than a photographer. You are a true artist. I am still trying to wrap my brain around that trash can location though :)

[@claudio6636]

Even though I'm quite Lucky in terms of location (im from florence in Italy) I found this video really useful, since sometimes you need to do things differently!

[@michaelrc6282]

Those are great tips. Thank youuuu. Composition is everythingggg. But it take lots of practice to develop an eye for it and your own style. Jessica you have a ton of experience. Thank you for sharing these great tips.

[@lessultanas]

Watching your video inspired me 2 locations outside my apartment door. Exactly what I needed for my clothing brand and I never thought of it before !

[@tiaradigital1594]

Loved this! Now can we get locations for rainy days? Because UK......😭

[@nicknorm4506]

I'll tell you what we don't have...amazing stylists on stand by. Sheesh, you can really shoot anywhere with the styling i'm seeing here. But also great tips lol

[@HarrisonHuber]

Going on walks and accidentally scouting locations is such a blessing.

[@trinkab]

I live pretty close to Detroit and have done several of these things (and I'm trying to figure out where these places are). I also lived across the parking lot from a water reclamation plant with like three trees between me and the sunrise every morning... I just shot the trees and plant in silhouette, and boom. beautiful sunrise.

[@kathychadwick5936]

Hi Girl, Why have i only just found you. I came across your page a few days ago and i can't get enough lol . I'm a newborn and child photographer but you are really making me want to get out with adults now. I do work with adults but only in the family images, i don't really do much with adults apart from that . You are amazing and i'm so glad i found you x

[@waretaSL]

I NNEEEEDDDDEEEEDDDD THISSSSSS OMG bc i do live near mountains but there are a bunch of building sites obstructing the view all the time so thank you so muchhhh

[@sharbean]

Awesome video. The reflection of your ring light in your glasses though... I feel. I'm blind without my glasses or contacts.

[@JessicaKobeissi]

Sorry. I was annoyed of that too. I haven't recorded in my glasses for a while so I forgot how to use my lights without the reflection/glare. I'll make sure in my next one that I avoid that!

[@sharbean]

@@JessicaKobeissi Thanks for the reply. I don't mean to be one of the complainers. Just want your videos to be as good as they always are.

[@KenyattaDavisPhotography]

Definitely can relate but I’ve learned to make my environment work. Cincinnati has a tune of parks and old buildings and neighborhoods to shoot in.

[@Beardaholick]

Thank you so much for this video Jessica! I recently started studying Film And TV Production, and the first major course we're taking is photography, you have no idea how many ideas your vid just gave me for upcoming projects since my movement around is very limited, your video definitely opened my eyes that we aren't as limited as we think!

[@lauradoesart]

My question is: do you drive around with the model to find locations, or do you do that on your own ahead of time? OR, do you happen to pass by these locations on your way to other things and make a note of them? Is it a combination of everything? 😅

[@BeautyRebeccaDoranForEejits]

For me ahead of time

[@waynosfotos]

So true Jessica, all in the eye of the beholder, even graffiti is popular, old warehouses, etc. With lighting you can do just about anything. Just a point/suggestion, the ring light is duplicated in your eyes and also your glasses, just a little distracting, maybe a softbox may work better off to the side which will will not reflect directly back into the camera. Keep up the natural style you bring to the story. Cheers I have a suggestion, in front of your wardrobe! Lol

[@lolitsfriday2822]

3 days in a row awesome!

[@emmythebun]

I live in Southwest Michigan literally surrounded by cornfields. Landscapes just aren't it around here. Only thing somewhat interesting is the buildings in town from the 1800s and maybe the cemetery. If I can't get into town though it's basically just cornfields or trees.

[@visualtherapist4290]

Can you do one for cool locations, but terrible weather. E.g. England haha.

[@medicenmouunz]

Ugly places are my favorite, I think they have a lot of personality ❤️

[@Yikkoofficial]

I am glad for this. Even though I live in the desert, I’m hoping these tips help. Thanks!!

[@CyberD011]

Omg I think I'm in love with you! Thanks for the ideas and BTW it was really nice watching you, you're really funny and amusing

[@himawariyume3233]

Thank you for this, Jessica! Amazing and so funny as always!

[@wanneske1969]

I have this wedding shoot saturday. For this outdoor session we had to look for another location as it's going to rain. We go to a glass house !

[@laurafandino9783]

Does Jessica recognize how amazing her personality is and how entertaining she is?

[@jacquelinefriel]

Love your creativity and your sense of humor! Thank you for inspiring me and making me laugh at the same time!😂❤️

[@petrakakytch4809]

... i actually live in a beautiful little town in Central Dalmatia, Croatia 😂😂😂 BUT ☝🏻 I believe this video is well needed in general. And very inspiring!

[@luanqueiros7502]

Love the tips. But here I’m Brazil it’s very stressful to take photos at place like that, because most of time they don’t allow take the photos if you are using to a job or campaign. In Most of the places you have to pay for using the location, like parks or parking lot, and it’s very expensive

[@ЛанаСветлана-н5я]

Who else wants to do the ugly location challenge now

[@isabellahanson]

MEEEEE

[@emelia333]

I would love to know how Jessica creates the fashion in her photos

[@Uniqdna]

The park has been my go to spot for clients for quite some time

[@RaceJan]

Very interesting and unconventional choice of backdrops and poses. I like that!

[@milanafemkewr4946]

I was thinking about your legendary trash cans, and you said it, is the best one

[@martamocci6095]

I love your glasses, i have 12.5 in both eyes and sometimes i feel shame to weare mine in public. you look beautiful 🥰

[@lisawilliams1750]

Thanks for the shout out to Luminar AI.....I will be pre-ordering mine! I currently use Luminar4 and love it! And again, thanks Jessica for the location ideas....so helpful.

[@sinigangnabakaa]

quite fortunate new zealand is beautiful💖 so excited i’m early😍

[@nobody-q8d9z]

idk why but the intro is hilarious. TY jessica

[@AniVan1R]

I love Jessica's sense of humor! It's hilarious!!!

[@sarahallegra6239]

This is so awesome and inspiring!! Thank you very much! I’m always shooting on a tiny budget so I’m always looking for interesting free locations so this was fantastic!! ❤️

[@michellerestrepo8934]

Jessica is really loving those red gloves 😂. Can’t help but think of pretty little liars and gloved A

[@lennybenz4281]

Would love to know how you edit the photo in the search bar! Always wanted to know how to get those tones. xxx

[@bleugaze]

This really helped me. It's stuff I already knew, but for some reason forgot about, and really needed to be reminded of right now. I get into creativity slumps when it comes to photography more ??

[@cindytorres1200]

Best intro, no need to see the rest of the video, I know it is going to be awesome as always 💖😍

[@DaisyViktoria]

So relate to this! I was like YES I live in an ugly place haha. I'm always making fantasy gowns and seeking out those hidden spots that look like a fairytale rather than a random urban city scape. It's a challenge!

[@venanciomiki]

Great ideas, thanks Jessica. I'm about to leave for a thrift store clothes session with a model and this was refreshing to watch :)

[@getoarukimeraj1702]

Please can you make a video tutorial on how to create it from the beginning step by step, Frequency separation action, and explain the data of the Healing brush tool. I follow your work for a long time and watch every one of your tutorials, but unlucky because editing is not done the same as you!

[@MattWorth]

she doesn't miss!!

[@babybumfuzzle3112]

7:41 when u doing dishes then remember that you're going to have a photoshoot w/ jessica

[@mdotbrown71]

I've definitely been on that rooftop for shoots. Detroit has so many different looks to it. You just have to search for them

[@medeaworbs6970]

Anyone else notice how that "Face AI" Filter changed the skin and eyecolour of the asian model? They have blue-ish eyes in the "After" and their skin now almost looks like they're white. In what world is that a "natural improvement" to a face? Unless someone SPECIFICALLY wants their skin lightened or their eyes changed, of course... but than that is a deliberate change from what is naturally given to that person. A "natural improvement" would be to brighten the eyes up, not straight up make them another colour!?!

[@marinvorspier7528]

jajajajaja 99% photographers who lives in an ugly city w 20 thousand gas station likes this video.

[@annettedoodles]

THANK YOU! inspiring and funny as always. needed to hear this. thanks jessica

[@NilupulieSumanasiri]

I always always take my photos on my backyard with this cracked wall. Nobody likes them Lol, but I do.!

[@lolitsfriday2822]

Wait did she delete a vid the one about the cheapest camera on the internet?

[@JessicaKobeissi]

I'll be reposting that!! I wanted to make a few changes and reupload at a better time :)

[@jylemurian]

The key is not about the place, it’s about lighting, composition, posing, and last but not the least, a beautiful model course. Without those, you can never turn an ugly place into a great photo shoot.

[@anzelo]

Loved it! the worst wall you see, it is the one you need! 🥳😆

[@cinthiamaria1547]

I live in England, which is full of all the stuff you mentioned but I’m still gonna watch and learn bish! Love ya xx

[@shariblake8948]

Parks have swings and slides! Me who lives on a small island in which the only place with those things is closed due to COVID-19 and a volcanic eruption. 🙃

[@esesmmee]

Jess you're just so funny what would we do without you 😂

[@hippietastic18]

Ayyye the z lot! One of my faves ❤️

[@lalafuentes7392]

Love this video great work Jess

[@otegauchechi4839]

[@pamelaadam9207]

[@mellie3337]

People who think about flower bushes; city planners and Jessica Kobeissi 😍

[@NikkieGinger]

just preordered the software!

[@uncre8ive]

Not me reading your necklace as ”Hasika” first HSJAJJAJAJSJJ

[@winegist8073]

1)park 2)flower bushes 3)textured walls 4) parking structures 5)the blue sky 6)ugly places

[@JuanPablo-ct4kw]

Ok this is what I was looking for

[@eumahtorres360]

I love the way she's so sarcastic about the intro

[@shaniaosullivan9020]

Can attest to the flower bush being a great shooting spot! Have been a big fan of your work for years Jessica ☺️ Just curious though if you think AI editing software like this will eventually make us photo editors obsolete?

[@Jemymah_xoxo]

😂 I was already laughing at the start of this video. I love you Jessica ♥️🥺... Thank you for this 🙏🏾

[@camuizuuki]

Honestly, your videos always inspire me

[@zoyadakhni2624]

0:12 how did u add that filters mam??😊

[@Bananaboogiebone]

jessica we have loads of Castles in England ,, U,K they are all over the place :)

[@ayeshadiwan1330]

Hey Jessica! do you have any tips on how to edit sky pictures with this angle? I find it really difficult to maintain the exposure and colours on both the model and the sky 😬

[@angelageorgopoulos9628]

I am moving to Arizona. Not a lot there

[@brenda.deandrade]

Story of my life.... thank you for this video.

[@hyunjinsamericano1450]

Hi jess. i have one video recommendation but i dont think its possible with photography ): is there a way to look symmetrical in pics? my eyes are in different positions (the other one is higher) and my jaw is so ugly it's different shape. i tried the side profile one but my face is really long and i look like i dont have any features from the side. i avoided taking pictures with back camera fot years now since i look so ugly and asymmetrical 😭pls read this thank you

[@denisharivers5908]

This helped me soooooo much!!! Thank you ☺️

[@flxwercxrpse1871]

I feel like it would only come out good if we had a camera like yours or just really good lol if i take them with an iphone its gonna look like im trying hard.

[@godsgreenearth1918]

Does anyone have any tips for shooting against a blue sky??? Every time I try, the sky is either blown out or my model is extremely dark...

[@kathrynwilkins2925]

Try bracketing your shots and exposure stacking in post, or you can take a pic of just the sky/background, meter accordingly and blend it in in post. Look for tutorials on masking, compositing and exposure stacking and that will help a lot. Otherwise if you're not quite there yet skill wise, try exposing between the sky and subject and use shadows and highlights sliders in your editing apps. Some even allow you to provide local (selected area) adjustments. Lightroom CC is a great option if you're pretty fresh to editing. Edit: forgot the easiest option, use fill flash or even a wide beam flashlight with a diffuser to light up your model. Even a reflector will help!

[@jmackultra]

Your audio always sounds so good.

[@LuisRodriguezVlqz]

The talent 👏🏼👏🏼

[@dayanagzz7340]

Hey there!☺️🥰💖 Love u Jessica. 🌙✨💫

[@anthonyarellano2413]

this intro is HILARIOUS. you should do stand up comedy

[@nawaraali5471]

Can we get a gas station photoshoot video (once it's safe to do so) 😗🙏 my mind is racing with the possibilities!
