what’s your favorite tip or whatever? mine is shapes / repeating patterns, i think 🤝

[@jolloster4w295]

I love it all ♡

[@EbukaMordi]

Location for me

[@sydneycranford3419]

Same, honestly! Something I have never thought about before.

[@creativecaptures2158]

Lighting! It's so key to have a solid understanding of lighting to create striking photos. Love the final image- the vintage feel, the mood and the composition!

[@naeemkhota]

Always learn so much from you guys! That episode from the photoshoot series will always be one of the best things I've seen on the internet🙌 So educational, inspirational and enjoyable! Always Love what you guys do! Keep inspiring us💪

[@DL_YouTube]

I appreciate y’all for giving us free college classes ✊🏽

[@giacomoflisi]

You guys are the best, a true gem of the internet

[@MangoStreet]

bless 🙏🏻

This gold should not be free, thanks you guys

You are welcome to buy their merch mate ,)

[@OmarAfuni]

This video could easily be given the title: “why not every person who takes photos is a photographer”

[@ghazal9671]

Every time I look at your portfolio, there is something new to be inspired by and details I'd never noticed before. Makes me believe that photography is not just clicking a button like people would often tell me. Thank you!

[@shubhamseth1219]

You guys don't just click pictures but tell a story, I am not yet able to do that. But I still learn so much from you.

[@danielerdos3046]

That outside the door photo is so amazing. I love movie-style images and it nails it. Color grading is awesome, composition is A+, the use of DoF, the light, the models all great

[@danielerdos3046]

And the doorframe right in the middle is like a divider between them. I love photos that tell a story, and I could easily write 3-4 stories just based on this picture. I rarely save videos to keep, usually just save them to watch later, but I saved this one to keep and re-watch because it's really good, thanks guys!

[@willdaslaya]

It's amazing how much of this applies to so many other creative fields - theatre, art, architecture, design etc.

[@MangoStreet]

love this point!

[@PoppysLilPlanet]

Whoa, I opened KZbin at just the right time.

[@alishasparkle9532]

Very striking and creative & it does look like a movie scene. The color tone also sets the mood of conflict

[@ania_kosma]

Yes, I love your photo. The wall is literally/figuratively in between the couple and the fact it's in the middle of the frame would make me stop and look at the photo.I love the colors and patterns as well. Very cinematic and beautiful.

[@hausofelysia9870]

Love that you made this like a checklist🥰 definately something we should all bring to every photoshoot!

[@rishisk8]

Love the tip of having model mirror the environment’s angles

[@directorkevincurrent5117]

You guy really know what you are talking about ..ive always wondered why some photos get my attension for long and some i just look and move on even if they are of good quality and your explanation actually makes sense

[@AsianGargamel]

Love the in-n-out shooting 👨‍🍳👌🏼 chef‘s kiss!

[@TheThinFrame]

Great tips

[@alfred.quimsing3603]

Love this!!! can't thank you guys enough for the non stop photo tips you guys give us!! 🤧❤️

[@stephencolor2010]

Love hearing Just Right in the background. 👌

[@nadjaamahn3172]

Such great tips! The info about creating a story is where I’m currently struggling, how you broke it down gave me some new things to think about! Can’t wait to apply these to future shoots 📸 Thanks so much! 🎞

[@coltandsoph2334]

OMG that photo of the subjects in the room is striking!!!!!! But in all honesty yes.....yes it is

[@FoodTechLife]

Good list of tips that I’ll keep in mind. Thanks!

[@EbrehemZiyek]

Thank you for the consistency. We appreciate

[@shuflbeats]

I agree! I thought you guys hadn’t been making content until I actually visited your channel and saw new videos I hadn’t seen. I just hit notifications so I don’t miss anymore. 🍻

You all are the best at intriguing photos, and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

[@catarinasofia2850]

the shadow patterns they do good and creative pics

[@italo-olharvintagefotograf152]

I love lists and this is wonderful! Nothing that used here is obvious, so you can give me a lot of ideas to test in one next shooting! I loved!!!

[@michaborski7383]

amazing work !

[@photog66]

This was one of the best informative photography videos I've seen in a long time and I watch a lot of good informative photography videos.

I enjoy you guys. Keep it up!

[@benthehauzendorfer]

Mango street saving the day!!

[@adjustafresh]

These are great tips & examples. Also me... where in the hell would I get a space suit?

[@MangoStreet]

tricky to find, but we found a rental house in LA, fortunately.

[@chamyaliyanage8018]

Mine was about composition! Very insightful video!!!

[@juanjosesegundo9287]

That was really insightful, thank you.

[@unknowncaller4739]

You guys are so dope I wish you so much success.

[@MangoStreet]

[@killswitch_01]

Its never too early for some Mango Street

[@MangoStreet]

it was so early i almost didn't wake up in time to get it published by 7am

[@johnpaultougan5241]

love these tips you guys< gonna remember them going into my next shoot!🙏👌

[@queerfoto]

Y’all’s work is really amazing. Those “movie” stills are incredible. I’d hang them all on my wall.

[@sydneycranford3419]

It is so striking.

[@TedAldwin]

Mango Street never fails to deliver beneficial info regarding photography! Such a great place to chill and learn more! 😊👍 keep it coming guys!

[@LindaMaier360]

I'm just here to say this is the best of the videos I have watched on your channel. Great content and you're are not rushing through it like you usually do (or maybe just not talking as fast). I had to pause to comment ;) It's clear, concise, and with perfect sound balance. Kuddos!! ...and thanks! Oh, and yes the last picture hits all the points. It's striking and draws the viewer in.

[@ConceptNewEra]

New to the channel and I’ve fallen in love with content! Love your guys thoughts and knowledge! Will definitely be trying out these tips for my photos. Also love the lo fi beats in the back! 💯✔️🔥

[@MangoStreet]

thanks! daniel, the guy on the left over there, makes them under the name “generation lost” on spotify and soundcloud 👍

[@lepotatoes]

I woke up early to watch this, now sleepy time again, I love you guys.

[@FredTrevinoColor]

Wow. This was dope.

[@intisharrahman3233]

Great video as always. Huge love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@AlexNguyen-lg9lu]

Thanks for sharing! A subscriber from Vietnam

[@jeffoffej]

Wow! That's a striking photo! ;)

[@Boyerobert]

Striking!!!

[@kapilbhallafoto]

Very useful

[@ada_davari]

I think that the last picture that u guys spend time to see if it checks all the points , its really striking and i think its a great example that can be used as reference in order to compare to the points u mentioned!!And i personally believe even if a picture doesnt checkk all the points still u can combine some of them and have an interesting picture cause when you strive to check them all maybe u will lose the process and the fun in creating..its very useful to educate and familiarize yourself with the points you mentioned so that you have them in the back of your mind and eventually act natural and combine points just as being second nature :D thanks again for a great consulting video!!!

[@veselinvasilev9362]

Thanks!

[@eirikp.3588]

You to are so cute. That last photo is beautiful I want it hanging in my house. Thank you for the tips too.

[@Docmakesfotos]

Banger!

[@tiagolopes9576]

I didnt saw your videos for a long time even tho i saw the ones in this video, but i have to say i love this one sometimes i tend to forget there rules and this one is just an amazing video .thks

[@Reviveftp]

Ty

[@PabloRiili]

Cool tips!

[@poreotix1203]

My teachers, thank you 🥺👌

[@ConsoleAuthority]

super helpfull

[@micheleheld4264]

This video is actually insanely helpful! I'm still new to taking photos and have been struggling to figure out interesting composition. Now I have lots to think about for my next shoot and it's opened my brain to ways to be more creative! Thank you both so much!! PS thank you for explaining everything so clearly and thoroughly :)

[@MangoStreet]

you might be interested in checking out our photoshoot series as well!

[@micheleheld4264]

@@MangoStreet Absolutely! I'll be going through all your videos very soon, and taking notes haha

[@drz]

striking

[@mrkarki001]

This is great! Video request, can you zone in on different types of photography you do wedding, portrait, product etc. how you would approach them differently?

[@Keenonhang]

Super stuff : )

[@DeJesusVanegas]

From now on, I will carry a sheet of paper to check all of this points, thank you Mango Street! A partir de hoy andaré una listita donde me pondré a chequear todos estos puntos jajaja

[@carterlrubio]

It’s striking ;)

[@sandiblack915]

Your favorite Your favorite looks like Gregory Crewdson’s work-narrative photography I like that style of photography

[@AjalaKingsGreenstream]

Its the color harmony for me.

[@nicholasgithiri7276]

you guys really click very well u are well composed for each other.

[@AmitSenguptaVlogs]

The most soft speaking couple vloggers on KZbin ❤️

[@HazaraTechnic]

Ty for video. These tips are helpful. And these type of photos require good lenses! Gear kinda does matter! 😉

[@MangoStreet]

sure gear helps, but one of those photos was shot on an iphone 7. a striking photo shot with a phone will always be more interesting than a boring photo shot with nice gear :)

[@HazaraTechnic]

@@MangoStreet fair enough.

[@AsgarAli-mk5ll]

A1 content

[@fanxxai]

The Final Piece is really one from the movie! it looks like that

[@JoshMiles]

🎤Hey guys! Another great video! I'm curious about your audio... I'm assuming you're using the audio from both of the SM7B tracks? Is there another shotgun above you? I'm just impressed as Rachel turns her head while speaking the audio stays pretty steady. (Sounds great, too!)

[@MangoStreet]

thanks! both SM7Bs, that's all!

[@JoshMiles]

@@MangoStreet Good to know! That mic is high on my wish list, and a pair works so well. Thanks for the reply!

[@marcosvaisman15]

Hey guys any recommendation on where to get an astronaut suit as good as the one you used on your shoot? Thanks In advanced

[@alistairweir5529]

What's your outro song? Love it :)

[@daverizz]

You two be funny.

[@ImoodyI]

Did you add or changed your lighting position to add more reflections to your eyes? If you did, it works, looks amazing!

[@MangoStreet]

yeah, i (daniel) put a small little light on my side to add a little fill for the eyes since i'm farther from the key light.

[@Kidhollywood]

I miss these videos so much!

[@MangoStreet]

miss them?! we just posted four juicy videos in one week!

[@ameykarade9432]

Yeah I would stop scrolling to look at the photo

[@MjoBarreto]

This is a Thank you for still respect sociual distance while creating your content

Daniel looks like he cant wait to finish up the shoot to check in the stock market :D

[@MangoStreet]

oh cmon, the market was closed!

[@DannyFeng]

@@MangoStreet hahah 😂

[@timalumbaugh4482]

So you still use the Canon 5d mark iv for your photos?

[@MangoStreet]

almost always - gotta send ours in for minor repairs, but still love it!

2:20 i thought that’s from a movie clip 🤭
