I am so glad that you continuing to shoot your videos. I was upset when you had a long hiatus before, because your channel was the most practical of all food photography channels. By the way, can you show us how you take photos in a client's space or restaurant? I've seen some photographers take a table in the middle of a busy lunch at a cafe.

[@jonathansimba6085]

Your recent videos have really been hitting close to heart. It's inspiring and greatly appreciated.🙏💛

[@arthurcarlosfranco]

thank you for sharing this! i often struggle with comparing myself to others and knowing other photographers I admire feel the same helps me feel I`m on the right path.

[@daleelliott7390]

I've definitely gone down that rabbit hole of comparing my work to food photographers who's work blows mine out of the water only to take the realisation and discover they've been at it for over 2 decades. Some have probably been doing it since before I was born. Always good to have reassurance that their work wasn't always that amazing and I'm still early in my journey as a food photographer.

[@lydsfizz]

Thank you for all these nuggets of wisdom. You have no idea how this lil 5 minute video just answered a question of what it takes to get those professional jobs/client [the unique portfolio + greater marketer aspect]. I have so many videos in my watch later on KZbin with in depth training on it but none that I’m in the right headspace to watch because of overwhelm. So this video was just perfect ❤tanx

[@kitchendubai1569]

I hope for me so helpful ...... Thanks for sharing.

[@jenn7210]

Everything is so video-centric now. I would love to see beginners videos on how to achieve better videos, workflow, achieving focus, camera settings

[@shehrozanwar2315]

Keep going forward & keep inspiring everyone

[@celo2043]

I don't have any ideas for you, just wanted to say thanks for the inspiring videos you do. Keep it up!

[@crawfordcapturesco]

THIS video is perfect, Skyler! Yes to everything. Marketing will make you, pure and simple.

[@skylerburtphotos]

Moms and Dads have a hand in it too, but yes marketing does make you into a more successful photographer. A wise person once said, "you're either a rich photographer who doesn't care about making money or you're a poor photographer who doesn't care about making money"

[@beepadipeep]

Thank you so much for your video! As for your question: If you move the bottles in the middle it should be ok!

[@MrMeadowfresh]

One interesting topic to hear about, would be how do you handle large file transfer and especially if for products that have not been officially announced yet.

[@kevins8575]

I only do bird photography, but your videos are very interesting! I've subscribed, even though I haven't ever photographed anything but my own cooking.

[@skylerburtphotos]

Start a new trend. Bird have to eat too

[@ThomasFransson]

You been reading my emails? 😂 Great video. I have a tiiiny studio space. How do you go about working with limited space. Zone lighting and styling backgrounds can be difficult at times. Depending on the shape of the subject when not doing flatlays.

[@elizabethedwards3687]

Hi Skyler Is it possible to do a 2023 food video shoot for us to see what you recommend gear wise and lighting? Please 😊

[@skylerburtphotos]

hmm maybe a 2024 one by now

[@RustedFaith]

Serioulsy ! You can just use photoshop + a basic editor to achieve this, you don't have to alight, replace bottle and take so many snaps for frames !!!

[@richardsears6005]

I'm currently a landscape and nature photographer but i want to branch into either food photography or portraits what's a good way to start

[@jayse1195]

Now you've asked, I have a question! I have trouble with colors, I'm not color blind but there's definitely an issue. Anyway, how might someone like me strive for correct white balance in photos? I've used grey cards and then adjusted in LR, but the photos always end up too yellow or too magenta or whathaveyou. Thank you so much, your experienced advice is very much appreciated. Cheers, -Jay.

[@eponymousable]

I'd be interested in Skyler's take too, but I found this helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoaWp3d_adFkf6M

[@Q80splendor]

hi , how long it take to build portfolio from scratch specially if you don't have any Clint yet , food or product ?

[@scg565081]

Love the stop motion with three elements all together but I just wanted there to be a subliminal message in there like the eye colour perception test which allows you to see a letter in the plates throughout the shift which ultimately leads to a word and a message. The shift in colours and patterns are excellent as a vehicle for this and your standard of photography is so good that I’m going to need 10000hrs to ever come close……even once. Great video and some sage advice. Perhaps the message should read ‘Keep trying’……. Impressive.

[@skylerburtphotos]

I thought about that, but I would need more rows to create words and I didn't think people would get it. It's a good idea so maybe I'll try for that later. I'm glad you liked it. You can do it quite easily, it does take some time and patients. Keep trying!

[@user-or8it8dk7u]

Thsnk you Burlt Can you make a video about photography prices thank you

[@edwardvk]

Can you talk about how you find art directors? I can find companies, but not sure which individual I need to approach. I've discovered Bikini Lists to be a great tool, but it's very expensive and doesn't let me subscribe monthly.

[@nomadscentral]

Where do you get flat lay backdrops

[@skylerburtphotos]

I talk about that here kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5ObpYh7jNGlhsU

[@Almendarezwilliam]

You are amazing

[@estonian44]

i have question, how the beginner can make super simple ig/fb ads video with Phone, that actually sells and is desirable (see the video and u want to eat it) but simple too :D i dno, i struggle somehow

[@sekarselvaraja0]

I need to know light place ments

[@skylerburtphotos]

I have a few videos on my channel about that

[@XavierFajardo]

M&M's would work pretty sweet for you, or something of the kind

[@alexsobrino]

Anyone else having an error when trying to activate the notification bell?

[@azinkspot]

My Notification Bell is turned off. You can’t turn it on or off. . .🤔

[@paolo-barbuto]

The photographer s dilemma is to have great art culture and marketing skills

[@skylerburtphotos]

You're either a rich photographer who doesn't care about making money or you're a poor photographer who doesn't care about making money

[@paolo-barbuto]

@@skylerburtphotos After 10 years lots of my gear passed 😅. Now step by step I Will buy new gear and after covid For me it is a new beginning. In digital work, time is changing faster

[@user-sh8op2ku3c]

I don't feel like a loser, I just feel like I'm not working the way a real photographer should work.,here it works as you can see(carl warner ),It's better for you to work in the genre of a game scenario, like Las Vegas
