Evening! Have you considered photo sfxart tricks (search on google)? My friend Charley made some mind blowing photos with their video lessons.
This guy has given some of the best advice I’ve heard on photography period. Straight to the point, enthusiastic and damn does he have skill.
This guys is all about photography…Wish i could work & learn from you mate!
Hey there, perhaps you can invest in Canon’s prime lenses such as the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM or the EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM? Check out our website for more information: canon.com.au/For-You/Camera-Lenses
What lens do you suggest for portrait work on a 7D? I can only afford one nice lens, so I’m not sure which one to get; 70-200, 24-70?? Great video, thanks!
I’m planning on buying 105mm f2.8 macro..hope I make a good choice
I already did try the lens, but thanks anyway, Cheers
Head in-store and have a play with the lens. Let us know how you go. Cheers.
THANKYOU 🙂
the picture of the baby that you show as an example of the 85mm f1.2, is a nice shot, but to me it doesn’t look like it was shot at f1.2, so I am curious if it is f1.2 or what f stop it was shot at ? I am curious because I am considering buying this lens, thanks, enjoyed the video
It is ultimately up to you, Anthony – both types of lenses gives you creative control over the shots you want to take. It also depends on the subjects themselves – some kids might be shy and you will need to be further from them for them to open up and still others love the camera. Experiment and see what you come up with. Cheers.
Would you recommend a zoom over a prime lens for shooting kids since they are continuously moving?
These videos are so informative. All these little tidbits of information from a professional portrait photographer and more than helpful.
Thank you for all your advise. You are very inspiring. Going out to shoot my kids now.
Even before I watched this video I had a dream list of gear and u have it, I just have 2 more lenses to get then im complete, the 85 1.2 and the 70-200 2.8 🙂
Hello there, are you familiar with “PhotoSFXart” (just google it)? On their website you can watch a useful free video explaining the right way to create outstanding photos. This made it easier for Joe to create photographs which have that wow-effect while you look at them. Hopefully it will work for you too…
i enjoyed your video so much, it has taught me so much. i wanted to ask you if you would ever consider teaching wedding photography, because i would love to be taught by someone experienced in this field. please let me know if you offer such a service
Does anybody know what is the brand of the reflector and diffuser?

hey canonaustralia,
the first lens graham is mentioning is a 50mm f/1.2?…i’m sorry i couldn’t get it from video…it is@ 3:11…thank you…
Nice video. Keep ’em coming.
Thanks for your question. Since you are going to be investing a lot in this, best is to head in-store and talk to one of our authorised Canon resellers. Many thanks, the Canon team.
хуйня какая-то. отсутствие содержания компенсирует дорогой бумагой и печатью… японская бумага дополняет и подчеркивает, а не создает конфеты из ничего. а принтер хороший, даа…
