Notes: + Environment (Negative Space) + Leading and Symmetrical lines (buildings, trees, railings, etc.) + Curves (Hot wife NOTED! 👌) *Colors as well. Thanks, Manny!

[@boddlook]

That's his wife?

[@LucasKultBanout]

boddlook yup

[@GretSeat]

@@boddlook why does he keep calling her Diana then?

[@boddlook]

@@GretSeat Don't know. What's your point. I was the one asking the question genius.

[@tridinh1011]

@@GretSeat can a husband not call his wife's name anymore?

[@iamrobert505]

Am I the only one that likes the photos more before they were edited? I don't like the skin tones in the edited versions, also the white balance looks more to the colder side

[@MannyOrtiz]

That’s why I love classic chrome :)

[@alfredomendoza6246]

Ahahahah I was thinking the exact same thing, I just didn't want to say it, lol thanks men

[@dwightschrute7893]

Definitely prefer the warmer colors SOOC!

[@Primeros1000]

Thats exactly what I was thinking, I like the unedited ones better. The edited ones look too bright

[@BarrazaMex]

U r not alone bro

[@malikmusanna]

I want someone to look at me the way Diana looks at Manny.

[@MannyOrtiz]

Haha

[@malikmusanna]

Manny Ortiz haha love your work man. You've been an inspiration. Thank you! 🌸

[@mcarthurbeard1571]

That last shot with the trees was my favorite one

[@sant_suarez]

It's so funny to see Diana's expressions while Manny is explaining something XD haha. BTW, I love your work Manny Ortiz, you help and inspire me a lot as a photographer, keep going. You and Diana, GREAT TEAM!!!!!

[@JYP1M]

When Manny threw his hands up and walked off slightly 😂😂😂 dude that's so me when I'm annoyed or inconvenience by ANYTHING!!! 👍🏾

[@vanthaitran3493]

Ok let me check my gears: Camera - check Lenses -check Skills - good enough A hot model who is in love with me and willing to follow me everywhere - I'm not sure

[@sensai4321]

😭💀💀

[@louie5258]

yo you good ? LOL

[@garfieldanderson4539]

Diana is absolutely gorgeous! For if there was a moment you needed to shoot photos of your model subject with a DSLR, that definitely would have been the time to have it.

[@mikaeelabdualwadood3168]

YOU'RE THE MAN Manny! What I love about your videos is that you explain what's going on in your head, which is great for us just beginning photography. You and Dianna also add an element of entertainment that allows for a relaxed learning curve. Would love it if you included your exposure settings and why you're using them.

[@angellondian7628]

Great job. One of the only, I mean only person that shoots and gives tutorials and not just shows off gear. Nice job hermano

[@grendale123]

how can you stay focused with your wife looking directly at you while she makes those hilarious expressions? :D

[@marquisecarter8749]

I really like how both of them have fun . Keep up the great work and motivation

[@itsgerardchin]

So informative. Thanks for sharing. Composition always trumps the "just bokeh" shots...

[@panopsata3038]

The X100f is such a beautiful camera with the images it produces and the look of the camera.

[@visualsavage2236]

Great Shots! Honestly they didnt need the LR edits, straight from the camera was fire!

[@olakunleolafisoye8433]

Nice pictures and compositions even when they are unedited. I actually love most of them in their unedited states. Good job bro

[@TariqHasanAnjan]

Ah I love this guys videos, always focuses on what is necessary....

[@joshuasilvers899]

You and the Mrs. have a good thing going. You banter “works” and is very entertaining. Might I suggest working more of that into your future videos (how pretentious of me lol)?

[@MannyOrtiz]

Lol

[@Chazyfizzlez]

Been seeing so much shallow depth of field on your channel it just got old and tired af. This was fresh! Good to see you using those creative muscles instead of just blurring the F out of the background. Nice work, Manny!

[@el_blaxicano2]

the only tip you need, is to have a beautiful model and you will never take a bad photo!!

[@jojoowens9309]

I really appreciate this lesson Manny, it's not always about the bokeh, at times you have to make the best of what you have along with using the most of your surroundings. This my friend is why your a mentor for many of us. Thanks and keep it going friend.

[@FlytPath]

Im always a fan of the BTS videos. Thanks Manny

[@TenbuschTwins]

she looks so fun tbh. The energy haha

[@VultureVisions]

love the shot with the patterns

[@sdjavan]

You got me at the “sofrito” line, brah

[@shayne08]

Hey Manny, hoping you can help. Just got my first Sony camera, an a6000 and my raw files are unsupported in google drive which I found weird. I’ve used 2 different Canon cameras in the past as well as a Nikon camera and all raw files were always compatible. I found out I can convert them to .DNG files but that’s another step and I’m surprised after all the videos I’ve watched nobody talks about how annoying that is. Do you convert all your files? Is this normal? I’d hate to have to use Dropbox or something when I’m so used to Drive already. I’m surprised the files are unsupported in the first place with how popular Sony cameras are. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance!

[@mrjwhite]

This is great stuff Manny. Thank you for consistently adding value to the field.

[@MaL-zt2zi]

Sofrito🇵🇷makes EVERYTHING better. Great video and info 💯💯

This is very helpful, I'll put the techniques to use. I also just bought the Walmart Drake presets. I'll be putting those to use too.

Hell yes. Thanks man

Thanks Manny

[@dyvenotbeaublanc4127]

These locations are dope. Can you leave a list of these sites please!!

The edits were better before the presets

[@tizzletarantino2519]

No cap

[@KenyattaDavisPhotography]

I love that bridge. I didn’t have a model when shooting there but it made for a beautiful landscape photo. I’m from Cincinnati so downtown Chicago was like candyland to me

[@cooloox]

Nice video, Manny, as always. That last shot with the lines of trees as a frame was fantastic. I assumed you'd be capturing the tree trunks on each side, but just getting the luscious leaves was so much better!

[@wesleyrodriguez6377]

the greatest photography tip ever. add a little sofrito to the composition.

[@kendra10513]

Manny and Diana are my favorite couple ever 😍

[@aaronthomas9163]

Mannn I was literally just there over the weekend! The Chi is nice. I thought about hitting you up bro but I didn’t 🤦‍♂️ nice vid btw

[@Began2011]

Wow, the shot with the flowers 6:18. Fuji nails the skins tones. I think I am going to get me either the Fuji xt30 or this one for just photos.

[@matthewwells1606]

It helps to have Chicago to play in. Such a beautiful city.

Thank You!

[@djgohardtv2819]

Mannys tappin that

[@philliam09]

Manny, you’re shooting at landmark architecture locations w/ probably the most popular street camera. Step back and Shoot wide. Make use of the scene more. Even your camera man knows wassup in some of his compositions vs. yours.. But you’re still good too, just my personal preference as a viewer that’s never been there before.

[@theconceptsofwilliam9510]

The photos with the flowers and the trees in the background were the best I liked. Nice video tho!

[@rick-deckard]

Gotta love that shutter! 😀

[@mribi]

Dude I’d love to see more fuji content from you. Perhaps try X-T3 with 23 1.4, 35mm 2.0, 56mm 1.2 or 90mm 2.0 💖

[@AdamAllen]

One of my favorite cams!

[@Kid2holy]

Can you do a video reviewing the x100f?

[@mk1photography62]

I use the T for portraits in the UK with the tele converter love your photos

[@fresh1H]

Ive watched the Video in 2020 and got the message out of the video. But holy shit, that presets are/was craaaaap ^^

[@JeffThatcher]

Great video!! Though, I think the biggest take away from this (for me) was, just because you're pretty (though it helps), doesn't make you a model. big thumbs up for using the fuji (in electronic shutter mode).

[@rogdanago5894]

that first location would have been a sweet headshot with a telephoto lens but that last photo was a darn good banger. Also, I didn't realize till now that I have the Filmic preset when I bought the retouching course lol I was so excited to learn + mess with the Walmart drake that I completely skipped over it.

[@tizzot21]

Great Video's man...Tiz here from south africa Thanks for the tips....I'll be using em...Now to get miss universe to model for me....cuz you got....???

[@WatchThatFirstStep]

What is Classic Chrome? Is it an in-camera picture profile like B&W or color selective?

The way she was looking at u😂😂

Great shots! Your my inspiration bro.

Nice video, please can you tell lens manufacturers especially Fuji, to give us an 18mm f1.2 lens I will be very grateful...

[@pianoman1973]

great shots ! the shots are all with the 35 mm lens correct ( i.e. 35X1.5 = approximately 50 mm full frame equivalent ) ?

It's 23mm x 1.5
