It’s a tutorial, of course they’re going to talk through it.
Cool stuff – thanks for sharing :)!
Great video, great tips. I love the different uses for the reflectors and the tips on loosening up the model. thanks!
is there a optimum aperture for portraits ? i use a canon 1.8 50mm
Your video sucks !!!!!!!!!!!
I just got in my reflector disk, and I was looking for ways to use it (kinda new). Thanks for the video! Lots of great little tidbits.

缺心眼啊。。
You need to have a professional photographer do your shots unless you know a lot about photography and photo post-processing.
Very good video but you talked way too much when she was posing and she actually looked annoyed.
I guess Nikkor 70-200 2.8
What was the lens you used Mikey?
Ohh thats really amazing!… Can i ask 1 question? I am doing makeup and sometime some clients wants to see some picture of my work but the problem is everytime i try to take a picture it washes out the color specially the eye shadows it didnt give justice to my job… Plllsss can you help me what i can do to make a good picture? To show the real beauty of my work? I badly need your help… Thnk you so much
Thank you for not playing cheezy annoying high energy house music…
What size is this scrim?
You Guys are f’n good. You know what your doing without the bullshit. Keep it up.
Finally, a video of photographers who know what the fuck they’re talking about!
I love it. Can you go over the edit you did for the one in the parking garage?
I can dig it.
lovely video. love the great weather you have for location hunting. in scotland it is finding somewhere to hide from the rain!
Great Vid guys. Awesome images. BTW I’m a new(ish) subscriber. Lovin’ what you guys are doin’. Just bought the V-book and the Genius Square is just pure GENIUS. Keep up the great work.
u guy soo…. fun. great pictures n video .love it
Great video, It’s nice to see you guys using natural light.
terrific stimulus for ideas . .. .many thanks . . . the importance of being creative with simple things and simple options
Great pictures guys.
I like the video, is there something you can do about the audio? it feels flat and i can hear the reverb from the room
She rocks! I love her.
It’s amazing how much negativity you’ll find on forums and boards from “pros” or enthusiasts saying you can’t use this and that and expect to get paid, but when you talk to an actual pro they tend to disagree.
Bambi is a legend
Bambi is really an inspirational photographer! Her creativelive show is a must if you haven’t watched it yet!
“Negative people irritate me to death” – Me too Bambi. Thanks so much. Blinders on, focused forward, working hard. On it.
Different time, folks; different technique. Remember, she was using a 6×6 TLR (Mamiya C330) with a waist-level finder, so the camera is braced against the body and supported by a strap if it wasn’t on a tripod. And wedding photography wasn’t high-speed photojournalism at the time, either — the photographer was probably shooting VPS (Kodak Vericolor III Professional 160) at a working 125 ASA equivalent. People posed in those days.
Bambi’s CreativeLive class was great too.
I was thinking the same thing. :/
Being humble, observant, and hard working has got her far. Insiprational.
1/30 th? At a wedding that’s a slow shutter speed
New age photography, just another tool!
lol you can tell she doesn’t really care about financial things
Really love Bambi’s comments on not paying attention to “negative noise” and to be “forward thinking”! I really admire her passion and enthusiasm for photography. A very inspiring video, well done!!
