  1. Hey, have you come across "MagicSFXphoto" (just google it)? On their website you will find a great free video showing the way to create brilliant photos. It helped Daniel to create photographs which leave you with that jaw-dropping-effect after you look at them. I hope it will help you as well…

  2. @tameme8179 Check out my Intermediate lighting 1 video. It is the only video in the series I could put on youtube as it the series is a nude session. Of course there is no nudity on the one I put on the youtube =o). Anyhow I explain metering without a meter in this video. Peace

  3. you're a really good teacher:) i plan to be a studio photographer once im older.
    you seem to know what your doing 🙂
    also thank you very much. i had noooo idea there was such thing as a rental studio 🙂 thank you thank you thank you 🙂 i shall look into that 🙂

  4. Very Informative & entertaining ,I watched every tutorial 1 after the other & then bought the DVD.Great job & explained things so easily to understand. I wish you luck in your new challenge & I will be watching..Peter

  5. @obease1991 I am using a 70-200 f/2.8 non image stabilizer (Its less expensive that way) and I would recommend it that for portraits any time. It is not the "only" lens you should use by any means. You can get some great stuff with wider lenses if you know what you want and what you are doing. =o)

  6. @FontanaKnowledge *g* I didn't mean to be rude or so… I was just wondering, why you use so total different techniques and for one you say, it's like you *always* do. 😉
    Anyway… keep up your great work… and have a nice weekend ^^

  7. @Equilion I suppose it would be whatever you choose. I am just sharing techniques. Try them both and see which one you like best. There is more than one way to skin a cat and an infinite number of ways to light a portrait. =o)

  8. have to say, you are the 'born teacher' type very easy to watch, no problem understanding you, and your approach to the subject seems just right. most enjoyable. well done, and please – keep it up 😀 – from bonny Scotland

  9. Sorry I am new at this kind of stuff but would you use light boxes like that with speedlights? and such or are there diffusers you would recommend for flashes? BTW your videos are amazing I am learning so much from you!

  10. Money matters as allways 🙂 I am a starter at DSLR. So I need to get so much stuff. De plastic fantastic lens you talked about in your newest video, an 430EX speedlite etc. etc. etc.
    So in that way money matters. I have to build my equipement from nothing.
    Well… I got something to think bout.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  11. I personally have the one with out IS because of the cost. I feel that I need to be sturdy while shooting on my own and not try to rely on something like IS. I have never really regretted not having the Image Stabilizer but then again I have never used the IS version.

    I have heard that the IS does not make a super difference in real world situations. A good solid hold can get you good results at speeds of as slow as 100th a second. any slower and you can use a tripod or monopod.
