What other shoots do you want to see behind the scenes of? Let us know in the comments!

Thanks for this video, very good as usual :D Some suggestions for future videos: - environmental portraits related to vacations (I.e. how do you take a beautiful portrait with showing the background and the area at the same time?) - natural babies portrait (with and without parents), without becoming cliché - what do you look for when searching for a location? What makes a good location? Thanks 🙏

I know it sounds boring but do a corporate shoot of sorts. Maybe a headshot or environmental portrait video.

Amazing! I like that contrast with Light and darkness on the wall!

I use a 55 - 210 mm lens from Sony. It's an okay lens. It's not as sharp as some others, but it's okay to start and learn with. It has a great range.

This was great Pye. The recap at the end was perfect! You made me run off to B + H and buy a used grid kit for my A1X.

In the last scene, what is the machine called that he is using to perform arm curls?

[@AndreaWeddingItalia]

WOW

[@marclabro]

nice tuto. how do you focus for all these scenes ? face and eye detetcion or you set focus point manually by tapping lcd ? I am struggling with my z6ii to focus so i need to come back to af-s or af-c single point myself :-( About other shoots BTS, I would be very interested by portrait with glasses with flash. for instance corporate photography for a website with portrait of the collegues... I am aware of reflection angle which must be outside camera axis but glasses are rounded created lot of angles. where to locate softbox, reflector,... ?

Ir give Suggestion (Which one I purchase me new camera (canon 250d or 800d or Nikon d5600)

[@Frezqwe]

amazing shots !! Especially in bw, how did you freeze it while running, that is, did you focus in manual mode or tracking af, at a fast shutter speed?

[@BremkeBem]

You can see his settings on the left. 1/2000 shutter does the trick.

[@baronsilverton6504]

Why is the light so high up - seems like it should be lower to highlight the abs - don't need a weird highlight on his neck - whats the thinking - this is in reference to when you shot in front of the car near the beginning of the video.

[@dennismenace4188]

Dunno man, that fist shot with the hedge and purple flowers was a bit girly for this genre.

[@TobyAngel]

I think that's sort of the point. Not every fitness shoot/ad has to be targeted towards a masculine crowd.

[@braddean1247]

doubtful his clientel would be all men, shoot what appeals to the masses, also the contrast of perceived masculinity with the soft features of the background can create intrigue

[@AimingAtYou]

So annoying when they do fitness shoots with some average looking dude, just to be pc! Why not use some hot fit dude?
