Man that was awesome! I think it's a good idea just to go shoot without any plans, that forces you to think in a creative way! Anything Bert shoots, turns out finally to be masterpiece of photography :P I really like this stuff! Waiting for more videos...
the light at that time of day and especially at noon is very harsh and not very flattering and shooting in the shade allows you to have more control of the light and not have to compete with it as much
one question for Mr. Stephani tho (i would call you bert but i find it improper) out of curiousity did you have all those people sign model releases or just simply ask them if you could photograph them?
I have to say that you are one of my greatest inspirations. I love your work and hope to gain the same type of skills so I can apply it to my kind of art work. Thanks for making these videos. ONce again I love your work.
Definitely, you're great. I used to go around, no location, no gears, no models. when I was starting with photography. I used to do that, but even low reesources (canon 300D and 18-55 lense, de default kit, now I own a Nikon D700 with a 50mm lense).
What power do you set to the flash? and what Guide Number it has?
Keep these truly amazing videos coming! You are truly talented with what you do! To not only be able to create these fantastic shots but to openly share your trade secrets all with a touch of humor may be the coolest thing I've seen lately. I find it hard to get inspired from time to time. Watching your vids and seeing your photos I no longer have any trouble! Keep it up! Cheers! -Marc
hey Bert, nice video very instructive...like the others. Can you tell me the brand of your flashes and if it is equipped to work with the Canon ST-E2 wireless transmitter. Thx.
Thank you so much , you are an inspiration. If you ever come to canada, maybe vancouver, lets go and shoot. Kepp the videos coming. I love all of hem.
HI , loving your videos, but i was just wondering if you could do a video of your photoshop methods, I like the way you portraits look strong and with lots of contrast but still soft light
excellent video. Its spring and heading into summer here in Australia and i'm starting with Tulip farms this Sunday. Thank you, for giving me some inspiration to getting out there.
whats the point when you edit like that lol.

What do you ask strangers when you want to take their photo? Is there any paperwork involved to use their photo?

What whitebalance temp do you use in mixed light. e.g. Sunny day, girl in shade + strobe fill?
c11umw 3 years ago
Maybe Auto, I used have mixed light sources with the 1D series and auto always seemed to work. Even better than a grey card.
warrock556 3 years ago
I think the answer may be to use a small Munsell colourchart.
Change the lighting then take one shot with the chart in the frame to re-calibrate in Lightroom/Aperture.

Shoot RAW, adjust in PP until its right

c11umw: the white balance from the sun is the same from a vivitar 285 or any flash for that matter
jpoole12 3 years ago
Er ... no it's not. The sun's light temperature changes all trough the day. If you don't beleive me, what colour is a sunset ;o)
