In this 5 Min Portrait video I use the most basic of camera equipment. I use the Nikon D3100 with the 18-55 VR Kit Lens. If you have a Nikon DSLR from the last few years from the D3000, D5000, D5100, D7000 and up this video will show you you can get great images with anything. The same holds true if you have any Canon DSLRs from the T1i, T2i, T3i and 60d
Be sure to check out the other 5 min portrait videos.

if only i could use the settings like you can… i bought this camera today xD dont know how to change shutter speed or aperture or anything, and recording doesnt seem to work.. nothing is happening when i click it or slide it to the right…
How did u get the black and white?
Beautiful pics but I still can't help but fantasize about the way your butt looked,,need to take pics of that?
Adam is gay? I mean, he is so cute 🙂
What mode were you shooting in?
can someone tell me why when he goes to take a picture he presses the button and it only makes one sound then he moves a little and takes the whole picture. does the first sound set something or what ? would appreciate feedback
Adam is a sexy bear ??
Did you do it with manual here or aperture priority? Really amazing video, thanks for all the help you provide with your channel!
Hey Jared! I reaaaaaally love all of your videos! I specially liked the one in the Pizzeria! I would really like you to do a long video with 18-55mm lens. I think most of the people that watch your videos are just getting started in the photography world. I mean, if we were all professionals we won't be watching this, we will be making money outside! I think your videos are so cool and you are such a good teacher! Yes, you are, you are funny and you teach really well, but may be in this video you tried to do some portraits with 18-55mm lens and you kind of gave up, I fell like the message in this video is "Sorry, I can't, this is such a crappy lens, I will use another one". I know it's not about the camera, you can use that D3100 and an amazing lens, but most people watching this (including me) want to learn and all we have is the kit lens 18-55mm. For example I have a Nikon D3200 with the kit lens and i would like to see how a professional like you uses it to take portraits, to shoot in a concert (may be near the stage), to shoot in a football game. Just with a basic camara like this, Nikon D3000, D3200.. And the kit lens. I think if you gave up, the message is "Oh, if Fro couldn't take a good portrait in this video, if Fro doesn't upload any other video with the kit lens in concerts, in some football match, basketball match, hockey match indoors, outdoors.. if Fro couldn't do it I definitely can't", but may be if you show YOU CAN do it, so we will be like "Oh, Fro can do it, I will practice, he is showing me it's possible". We may not take the greatest pictures in the world with an 18-55mm lens, we definitely won't have the greatest depth of field, but we may want to see what's the best we can do! Sorry for my not-so-perfect english but i think I made my point. I will keep on watching your videos, i learnt a lot in all of them, and I hope you read this and do something for the beginners that want to do the best we can with our crappy camara and crappy lens!

How can I Decoded MY Battery for Nikon EN-EL14 ? thanks
great video great pictures.
nicely done jared !!! I like your b/w and contrast style 😉
This is the biggest problem I have encountered. Everybody is either putting down the D3100, D3200, EOS 1100D… entry level cameras or they are comparing them to the high end D3s or 5Ds… I was shooting with a cell phone before I got a entry level DSLR.. why don't you welcome "us" the people that just came in to the DSLR world instead trashing our equipment… I'm sick of it hearing that my first camera (D3200) ever is the worst shit ever.
how can i save a photo with a raw file?
I want to get a nikon d3100, To make a documentary for a new channel im making. Can't wait, I have some really great ideas.
I shoot raw 🙂
for a beginner using same camera, what tips can you give for turning the photos into B&W?
Hi there, thanks for sharing tips with us, this is a good tutorial, I was wondering have you ever made one with the same camera, (Nikon D3100) but in low light ? Thanks.
3:24 63mm zoom with lens 18-55mm ?
Do you do classes?
u can't blame the camera……….
Adam's work is great, but he sort of went away after 2012. I can't find anything newer by him, no exhibitions or anything.
I just ordered this camera, I've been itching to do so for a couple of months now, because I'm tired of the typical point and shoot, and cell phone pictures. As you've said, you can get really good shots with almost any device but I'm ready to flex a bit on my own without the "auto" guidance of said devices. Your videos have been super helpful!! Thank you! P.S. It's a nice butt lol
Nice video, nice example. Cheers from Brazil
your videos are awesome I have learned so much more but I just have one question why 1600 iso and not 800 iso in this shoot.
one is having no hairs…ant the other too much hair…
Too much exposure to me :s
And I don't like B&W…
love that cam
O'right! Thanks dude!
Thanks. 🙂
The infos are at the bottom of the pics. You need to pause the video to see the technical stuff. My guess he's shooting in Aperture mode.
Always make reference to your lense and then the body of your camera (if necessary).
