sharpness
I have a 67 mm and a 58 mm lens however I do real estate photography so I use my 67 mm lens a lot is that a good lens for family photography as well? I'll note that I have watched this video over and over for my first family photo shoot today 🥳💓
I really like your videos! Super informative and you guys are fun to watch. But I have a hard time finding the free links you refer to in the video. any tips on how to find them for this video?
Am struggling with aperture
do you have a video that goes into more detail about using the expo disc on site and in editing?
Why doesn’t your channel have more followers ???? This was amazing! Thank you for the help.
I just purchased the new A7IV & want to start learning family photography. I don’t know where to start with full frame lenses. Do you have any recommendations? Prime vs standard zoom like a 24-70?
Thank you for this, especially the focus tip 🤝
Good evening I’m going be doing prom photo shoot outside and I shake a lot can u give me some recommendations what I can do so pictures come out crisp !
You guys are awesome! Thank you for sharing both process and technical settings. My question. Is how to do find that perfect balance between crisp in focus groups and bokeh in the background. Also what if you have to shoot indoors and space and light is limited. Thanks so much!

Do you shoot posed or candid?
Thank you for the helpful information! I have a Nikkor 50 mm 1:1.8 lens I haven’t even tried yet. Is that as good as the 1.4?
How setting your picture style? 🙏
What is your reasons for not shooting on a say 70 to 200mm? I have had instances where the children are a little nervous about me being in their face and so take some of the candids on the longer lense so not to be too close? Great info on the video.
Wonder twin power! Thanks for the quick reference. I am a father of twins 👯♀️ as well! What is the best wide angle lens for larger family photos?
great video! My struggle is my colors, they are vibrant and not light airey. I want it the color you use for the skin tones in the Camera. Is that even possible?
You guys are awesome! such a helpful video! Thank you 🙂
I have most trouble with Shutter speed but this video was so helpful. Thank you both!
shutter speed
I have been asked to do an outdoor family shoot and they can only get everyone together mid day! Would you use a lower ISO or just a faster shutter speed? Going to put the sun to their backs, do you suggest a fill flash for shadows?
F stops are my bannneeee
