I'm a Nikonian, and just want to know your thoughts of the Z9, Z8, and even your use of the Z6II. I'm transitioning to mirrorless and just like to grab as much insight as possible...

[@liamgoodvisuals]

@@russellwright9961 I’d say at this point, don’t bother with the Z6ii or Z7ii. The Zf, Z8, Z9 are a much better generation of cameras and you’ll be much happier with their performance :)

[@rebeccaehret]

Loved watching your photography process, Liam! Beautiful photos that are an inspiration. Thank you for all that you do. And many thanks to Taylor for filming this!

[@theattitude1212]

Damn! I've been on the wedding industry as a Photographer for 5yrs now. And this is the best and most chill example being a 1 man show as a photographer on the wedding day. I'm a fan now and this inspires me a lot. I so love the presets and shots so I'm planning to buy your preset.

[@liamgoodvisuals]

so kind! thank you : )

[@brianasealy6257]

35:45 This is really impressive! I’m terrible with names-I have dyslexia, so names and numbers can be a real challenge for me. It takes me a bit of time to get them down. I’m always amazed by people who can rattle off names in a group so effortlessly.

Why at the end, Taylor looks like he in creative mode like Kanye making an album wearing that big hoodie😂. I’m such a fan of him! I’ve learned so much that instantly improved my wedding photography because of him, keep rockin’ man! P.S. - The photos are insane! Taking notes, I love the photography community. We live daily inspiring each other with every photograph. 46:10

[@thehappyphotog7643]

Excellent video!! Can you explain your process for the ceremony & family formals in terms of how you handled that lighting? How were your images not muddy? They were so crisp and clear! Beautiful work!!

Really nice video, full of good pratices🙏 Just bought your book from France and thinking about joining your classes ☺️✨

[@DogPileTV]

Dang perfect video! I shoot with almost the same setup as Liam but have been using the 35-150 allot when I shot for other studios especially which do not want their associate shooters shooting on primes.

[@liamgoodvisuals]

thanks for watching! : )

[@alfonz.7604]

8-12000 pix/event…crazy number. I wonder how many gets handed over? I may do around 3000 when lights aren’t perfect, but i suppose it depends on how much time you’re willing to spend on selecting at the end. Better to be safe I guess. All in all, great video, love the attention to detail. Keep them coming

[@ActualCounterfactual]

Interesting video... how many pix + what size of memory cards do you end up with on a wedding like this?

[@tracymac7428]

I'm in the dslr world still.. love my d850... I'll convert one day.. it works for me

[@cleanedbykyle]

what about things like manual focus autofocus and why no gimble or tripod ? just using the image stability?

[@itsjustme77]

Great video, and thanks for sharing! On a side note, I'm pretty surprised by the amount of photographers that just don't gel their flash anymore, especially for formal photos. I guess I'm the only one bothered by mixed color temps.

[@rkhimages]

You're not alone - I'm a total flash nerd. I just got a second umbrella from MagMod and ridiculously excited about having two stands to balance things this wedding season. Love the look of it.

[@ScottRadfordChisholm]

@liamgoodvisuals Great video guys. Just wondering, nearly a year on, still using the Tamron? Liking it just as much? I'm thinking of getting it, would suit the bulk of what I shoot, events, corporate, studio, school graduations etc. I doubt I would really need any other lens and the less changes during a shoot the better, or being able to keep it all on one camera body for most. Good work, thanks guys,

[@markos_photography]

GREAT Video!! Thank you for sharing.

[@IKochanov]

Great video! A good storyteller!

[@igorfialho]

[@MTBD80]

What did you film this on? Also the color grading looks real nice.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I think it was a6700 and the 11 1.8

[@yadiratackett7897]

Thank you loved watching your video and you're such an amazing photographer I have a question where do you get your pictures developed or do you develop your own stuff? now a days the pictures that come out are not as good as the quality as the ones that we used to have back in our days with the 35 mm cameras with actual film

[@lougravessr1215]

I just found your channel today. Amazing photos. Especially without a flash. Can you share your settings?

[@markglenday7291]

Hi Liam thanks for sharing this I enjoyed heaps, however I have a real dumb question, with the portraits indoors I noticed that the lighting was very orange and that you did not use a CTB gel on your flash, did you just drop your white balance down to about 3200K or some where around there because the color looked awesome, or were those images been edited? Thank you from Mark in Australia

[@liamgoodvisuals]

Not dumb at all! No gels on my flashes and no external flashes - just mindful of how I bounce flash and then mindful of how I edit those images. White balance on those is probably between 3000-4000

[@markglenday7291]

@@liamgoodvisuals Hi Liam thanks for sharing I thought that you would have dropped the white balance to compensate for the orange lights, you are an amazing photographer

[@robigerovasilisphotography]

Liam your photos looked amazing..I noticed by the video the ambient light in the ceremony was very warm and yet your photos looked perfect light, white and bright. Did you set your white balance or were you using auto WB?

[@liamgoodvisuals]

auto white balance all day! then just tweaks in lightroom :)

[@pronkt]

For your shots during the ceremony, like the one at 25:27, how did you get the lighting to look so good in post without the use of a flash. The room lighting was very yellow but the picture has a clean white look to it. Was this achieved purely through lightroom or was there an off camera flash elsewhere in the room that I didn't notice?

[@liamgoodvisuals]

Oh great question! No external flash used, just really intentional and gradual adjustments in white balance and color (especially the orange and red sliders). Hope that helps :)

[@pronkt]

Ah interesting, thank you!! Great video btw :)@@liamgoodvisuals

[@spl4028]

3:13 - hilarious!

[@austin_kid]

What is the white balance settings in these kind of places wherein ambient lighting seems unpredictable due to windows and lighting fixtures?

[@matterickson6345]

Liam, do you rely on eye autofocus throughout the day or single point af? Or something else?

[@liamgoodvisuals]

Almost always 3D tracking + eye/face detect. That said, I have my front function button set to toggle through focus modes if I need to change anything in a pinch. Something I love about the Z9/Z8 is you can actually *disable* focus modes you don’t need - so now my front function button allows me to scroll through 4 different focus modes rather than like 12 lol. This means that I can quickly go from auto area, to 3D tracking, to single point, all without having to open any menus.

[@matterickson6345]

That disable focus mode feature sounds awesome. I’m on the Z5 and my autofocus misses quite a bit during a wedding day. I’m definitely getting the new tamron you were shooting with and thinking of upgrading to the Z8 or the rumored Z6III this year. Thanks again for the insight, cheers.

[@danieldreams222]

6 photos for every angle is crazy lol

[@nofitlerphotos]

Whats the best way to change the lighting colour from the yellow ambient light to white how it is on the final photo, absolutely love the final photos.

[@cleanedbykyle]

i really wana know how he is doing the focusing like when he sticks the camera behind flowers then shoots people who are standing in what is now the background of those flowers while they are in focus and the flowers are not in focus

[@kingroma3474]

Enjoyed the vlog. Anyone know where I can get the dual camera straps?

[@Meth0z]

Im so confused.. I started backwards.. a few months ago i was using primes 35mm f1.8 and 85mm f1.8 for 90% of my photos on weddings and events... but since i got a 24-70mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f2.8 im using those almost entirely.. and only ever use the 85mm f1.8 for planned portraits pretty much.. but everything else im almost always with the 24-70 or 70-200.. or even both if im dual wielding cameras.. they're really heavy but they are so convenient tho.. Why is it that now i see everyone going with dual primes and no longer using zooms? but im now backwards? :(

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

It’s whatever works best for you. The Z 24-70 f2.8 is one of the best lenses ever made so it’s by no means a bad choice

[@xxichikokoxx]

how big is his bag by any chance? 6L or 10L?

[@liamgoodvisuals]

[@sharonmathew2225]

what brand of the camera harness are you using? Can you please share the link for that?

[@amalazarkanali907]

I have Nikon D3400 and i really want to become a professional. For temporary which lens is the best if you can help me with this

[@smodjo]

... just a quick question: on minute 1 - why is there always a last shutter sound, when Liam puts his camera already down? Is it a Nikon thing or is the sound not synchronized?

[@Gino_Zisa_Photography]

You manage to shoot so fast, so was wondering what exposure mode you're in when capturing candids? AP with auto ISO perhaps?

[@liamgoodvisuals]

almost always full manual :) occasionally I use manual + auto ISO, especially in environments with rapidly changing light availability.

[@jonrees1159]

Very strange that you don't use your lens hood as it would provide some protection if you knocked the lens when turning in a tight space

[@liamgoodvisuals]

ya. I live dangerously

[@rupeshrsingh3109]

great vlog Taylor

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaels.267]

Great video! Thank you very much for that. May I ask which prism you use here for the great effects?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I think it’s just the standard one Amazon has. Liam might be able to answer better though

[@liamgoodvisuals]

Yeah just whatever I can find on Amazon! Something on the wider side is helpful, rather than being too long and skinny. That said, I didn’t use a prism at this wedding as far as I recall.

[@jeromepolaroid]

Happy newyear bro. in 2024. ilike this video

[@sjcproductionsandmedia]

I am surprised you aren’t using a diffuser on your flash. Any reason?

[@liamgoodvisuals]

I feel like most diffusers are sold because photographers often don't learn very good bounce flash techniques. diffusers would make very little difference for me since I primarily use walls/ceilings to effectively create a larger light source which is then softer on my subjects :) I also just don't like the size of diffusers and adding extra bulk. hope that helps!

Hello

[@PL-Photography]

Is that the Peak Design Everyday Sling with 6 oder 10l?

[@Meth0z]

What i really want to know is... where can i get a dual camera strap like that? the ones i keep finding always have so many hooks and stuff.. i can't seem to find a sleek simple one like the one Liam is using

[@liamgoodvisuals]

Hah! It’s just by holdfast. They have lots of options. That said, mine actually had a bunch of other hardware on it (for hanging bags and stuff) but I ripped them out and then used knives and scissors to shorten some of the straps. Thankfully it still looks nice hahah

[@Meth0z]

@@liamgoodvisuals oooohhhh niiiice.. yeah all the ones i keep finding come with multiple hooks and stuff for hanging that i never actually use.. and i wanted something more elegant and simple, like this one.. hehehe thank you for the tip

[@byramike]

[@djchap1640]

i’d buy your presets if you have any

[@user-it8gk3ke7h]

I only use prime lens

[@ya9321]

I see during the ceremony your ISO was around 6,000. When my ISO hits 1,000 the photos come out so grainy. I use a Canon RP. Grainy photos are my biggest nightmare, how do you fix this?

[@ZedExGaming]

Using faster glass will help you a lot, 1.4 primes are excellent getting less noise in your images but also maybe consider a flash with a good diffuser

[@gr3if]

Rp and z9 are not in the same ballpark. Use a r6 or r6ii and that grain vanishes. Ist just the body/sensor which shows its magic here.

[@dylanmccormickmoran3528]

Your photos are beautifully exposed. Any tips on this?

[@liamgoodvisuals]

thanks! I almost always under-expose just slightly, and then push 1-1.5 stops on the exposure slider in lightroom. even if the raw file is a "perfect" exposure, I'm usually still pushing the file hard
