[@GeorgiaRisa]

Always love shooting with you!! 🥹💖 Thank you for having me and see you sooooon! 🌸

[@reesepieces86]

Outdoor photography is always my weakness without flash. I am amazed at how your photos always come out great! Love seeing the process during shoots!

[@journeymoiyai3804]

I’ve been following you for a few years now and you truly inspired me to do photography to the point I finally got a camera, now I’ve just been scared to actually start but this motivates me so much!!!

[@JessicaKobeissi]

You got this!!!

[@bruce-le-smith]

dont worry, just delete the photos you dont like, no one will know. Ted Forbes at The Art of Photography has some cool videos on composition - things like the layering Jessica mentions here. I had a friend who went to school for photo and he said, you take a lot of pictures and some turn out

[@DaveMcIroy]

Which did you buy?

[@sbroadbentphoto]

I have shot with Georgia when she was in Australia a few years ago. She was such a great model to work with. It is surreal to see her pop up on videos of people I follow. Your photos are excellent. Great video!

[@Missab4000]

I always love seeing your process. These shots are stunning!

[@yunnapr6917]

you are the ONLY photographer on you tube , who actually almost on each press of the shutter shows the stunning picture. and a looot of them , not just one for each location or changing the pose. You are simply awesome!!

[@dinsdalephotography]

Always great to see you and Georgia working together! Great video & tips.

[@cassiemedina4026]

I've missed this content. Your photography is so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!

[@stylestep111]

Incredible shots, love the processing too, awesome colors! Always love when Georgia is on your channel!

[@MediaJunkiesUK]

honestly!! Jessica is such a good communicator with the model when shooting, makes an major difference in a shoot

[@writethepath8354]

These just got better and better Thank you for sharing the beauty and the knowledge

[@addie-eileenpaige6460]

Those photos are GORGEOUS!!!!

[@Br8kz]

love this! ty! I've been looking to improve my portraiture

[@lissrckstdy7855]

photos turned out beautiful! love the lens choice

[@nigelhart4981]

Great video again. Interesting that Georgia mentioned "Sniping" . I think it is becoming more of an issue now, and might be worth being the topic of a future video. Where spectators with phones or cameras start taking shots without permission of the photographer or the model. And sometimes they are even trying to get shots at inappropriate angles for the model. It needs to stop.

[@charliejg]

I think your last concern is the biggest worry of models. You don't know how the person taking the shots is going to use or misuse the images.

[@GeorgiaRisa]

I appreciate you noticing that! Unfortunately there are no laws preventing people from taking photos in public places, even though it does make us uncomfortable. There have been instances where unknown photographers have taken pictures of me during my shoots, only to later tag me or use those images on their websites as part of their portfolio. That being said, Jess always does a great job at protecting her models and making us feel comfortable and safe. I hope this matter becomes more addressed in the future!

[@momovalencia1]

In US it is legal to photograph and videotape anybody in a public place where there’s no expectation of privacy - basically streets and parks. In private places you need to ask permission. It it illegal and criminal to photograph people without their consent if there’s an exception of privacy - like through a window of somebody’s house or with a drone when they’re in the backyard.

[@Coco95Papoy]

Being more and more a concern in cosplay conventions too. Before (around 2012), peope just take pictures and whatever. Now, since 2019, people have to ask for permission for a picture. It's just the bare minimum of respect. And I like it better that wait, as a cosplayer.

[@NL0Gwenster]

How's this "becoming more of an issue" now ? I mean street photographers whole shtick is to take pictures of random strangers on the streets. Without asking. In most countries, public places there's nothing illegal about taking a picture of somebody. As long as you don't make it socially awkward I guess that you can put up a harassment claim. Having other people stop and look at what your doing when you e doign a shoot in public, having a camera man/woman, MUA all hovering a couple of people does attract attention. Especially in a situation like this during hanami where 10000's of people are here photographing people and sakura alike. It's just the norm really. If you don't like it as a photographer or can't handle it, don't shoot in public.

[@yarivimarquez]

Gorgeous lighting!

[@sorintopala4242]

you know it's going to be a great video when the Jess and Georgia collab drops!

[@EnzozVlogs]

Throwback! from old video! 4 photographers 1 model.

[@nicholas9532]

Amazing video! I love how you explained your process for portrait photography. I was wondering your reasoning for changing the iso from 100 to 160 for some of the photos instead of dropping the shutter speed. I was also curious if you shoot in manual, aperture priority, or shutter priority when you do portraits.

[@charliejg]

Really nicely done explanations with great demonstrations. Do you spot meter the face when you shoot the full on, direct sun shots? Thanks again for this really well-done demo! BTW, it's interesting that it's cold enough there to be wearing a heavy coat already. Here in Pennsylvania it's currently 80 degrees F!! LOL! Take care and have a great week!

[@rutiletwins7237]

Absolutely love how the photo's turned out!!💖🌸

[@melanieescobedo2288]

Hi Jessica! I am a huge fan of your work. I was wondering if you could do a video explaining the differences and types of the camera lenses, I always struggle with that. I see that you use the 50 mm lens a lot for portraits but I would love to know why and to know more about other ones. Please xx

[@ashleyshadowjones489]

These are gorgeous! The trees and model are perfection! I wish I had a better camera.

[@Brittanysplittany]

My favorites were definitely those last ones! So beautiful, great job everyone

[@jeromeh3605]

Thanks for the tips and tricks. Georgia is an amazing model. 🙂

[@seraphineclouser762]

Her outfit is so cute! Do you have the models dress themselves or do you supply outfits? I want to get into modeling, but I can’t really afford outfits and dressing myself which is difficult when you want to start modeling

[@josephchan4198]

Good refresher course. Thanks.

[@lissrckstdy7855]

The advert that followed your video on YT, for me was "Wow, wow. Wow . wow " and I thought, yes, I agree! 😂 stunning shots and model, as always. A few that were so artistic and enjoyable I'm sad more people won't see them... fellow artist here, and Jessica appreciation club ✌️👋🤩💕🇬🇧

[@stanioh1]

Love your Pictures and your charming way you take them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. May I ask you what kind of focus method you use? It don’t look like backbutton-focus. I always have trouble to get eyes sharp wide open.

[@randypipper92]

No better duo than Jess and Georgia!

Very dope portrait pictures ❤😃. Side note: I’ve never seen people get kicked out from under a tree. 😂

[@kaarnara]

Could you teach us about the technique that you use to edit these set of photos?

[@bathroomdiaries5393]

THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL

[@konuzbenissa7929]

Come to Vancouver, BC on April we have lots of Sakura trees all over the city and around the parks and you can stay under the trees whenever you please.

[@alla4023]

Thank you for your videos

[@RotterStudios]

Great job!

[@tiagocarvalho1185]

Lovely photos! May I ask what polariser filter you use?

[@xlilcourttney]

You've been my inspiration from the get-go. I even got the same camera as you because of you! just wish I had more confidence with people and wasn't so afraid of taking no good photos in a shoot, this leads me to not even organize a shoot unless I know the person. I Spent all this money on the kit and it feels frustrating to be held back by anxiety and low self-esteem. Also my photos are never pin sharp, and I've tried all the tips people give and they still just look noisy and bad quality except maybe the odd one and I don't understand why. This just adds to my fear of delivering awful images to a client.

[@emilyesnyman]

I have the same problem with sharpness - not sure why. Maybe it's your camera's autofocus? But if you have the one she has it should be great, so I don't know... My previous camera had terrible autofocus so I ended up not having sharp photos more than half of the time. My new camera is better :) Also, the lighting makes a huge difference! I find shooting in direct/harsh sunlight actually makes my photos sharper! (Not that it's always the look I'm going for, but it's nice sometimes)

[@JessicaKobeissi]

Hey Courtney! I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues with focusing and image quality. Could you share with me your image settings at all? And focus points?! I could make a video to help with the best settings I use, let me know what would be helpful. I’ll try to guide you through it, you got this!!

[@xlilcourttney]

@@JessicaKobeissi HEY! thankyou so much, it means the world to me that you would help me. ofc i'm I am more than happy to send you my settings, do you want me to post them here or email/send them to you another way? I'm also in the process of getting my lens checked to make sure the issue is definitely something I'm doing. xx

[@JessicaKobeissi]

@@xlilcourttney Sorry I missed them! Please email them over if you can :) My email is in the "about" section on youtube - or feel free to DM me on instagram!

would love to get a lightroom tutorial on how you do your pictures!

[@JessicaKobeissi]

these were edited mostly in Photoshop, but yes of course i can :D

[@sajan315]

Love Georgia 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@bruno.carlesse]

Here in Brazil we have cherry trees too, but unfortunately we end up pruning the lower branches, making it impossible for us to take pictures sitting on the ground or near it

[@unrecordable]

How can the pics come out sharp if your that close at 1.4? I'm used to wildlife photography and being far away, but I'd like to start doing portraits. Any helpful advice from anyone is welcome!

[@btorres3499]

Omg love your work and your coat! Where is it from ? Have a wonderful day!

Great photos. What model Canon camera do you have?

[@rigoa5369]

[@ferdiyansurya]

Who the hell is that guy with the long zoom and kicking people out?

[@KatieInTheLight]

Yeah I’m so confused by this?

[@DarenLee]

The tree marshal.

[@rephaelreyes8552]

There's always history with odd laws. I suspect when it was allowed, kids and some adults would reach for a branch and bear their weight into it. Obviously this could cause a tree branch to snap and kill off the blossom tree.

[@ellisolive2207]

great video

[@yourtrinty]

What's the camera model?

[@NorseBound]

She's so pretty

[@immjadrineda]

The model is so good at posing

[@bernieheartdragon1888]

Jessica, are you wearing a lace front! Your hair is always perfect. If you’re not, how do I do that?! If you are, where do I get one?!

[@ZacharyDetton]

Jessica I always enjoy these photography tutorials of your more than the ANTM videos. The ANTM videos aren’t bad, but I think your ANTM to tutorial ratio is lopsided

[@jaysonfontela5761]

[@pinklori13]

So amazing I wish I could be this good, I shoot my daughter at her cheer performances but it's on sports mode I just press the shutter 😂 if I get one picture it's a win for me 😅

[@PieceOfReis]

[@platino536]

Excellent photo...what body you use??

[@KatieInTheLight]

Please. Jessica talking about the Saw movie and the model having NO idea what she was talking about was SO funny😂

[@midunmich85]

From🌹MALAYSIA🌹Amazing 😍🤩

[@ikbrrrr]

The best thing I heard about photography is "try to answer a question: is this a beautiful photo or is it a photo of something beautiful?" These two are not mutually exclusive, but all photos I saw it this video are much more in the second category for me.

[@ditsapong9]

Your Model is so gorgeous.

I'm on the short side so I always carry a light weight folding step stool so I'm not photographing the models' nostrils.

[@lu.bo.do.]

Lmao. I stop at whenever she said she uses 50mm for good portrait len. Look at all the picture, is it normal? Lmao.
