[room28ministries]

...and lastly, rules are made to be broken. Oh art.

[Elyssey]

Now THAT was helpful :) THX, guys. Great job. Btw: Am I the only one to find the practical advice videos ("how to take a specific kind of photo", not "know all about your cameras insights") much more helpful?

[emetronic]

What about lenses and distance to be preferred while shooting portraits?

[BlackArmy6]

@emetronic Long, but not too much, about 35, 50 or 85mm

[emetronic]

@BlackArmy6 Thank you! I was asking because I used to shoot portraits with 18mm lens (but on my Nikon it would act as a 27mm or so) and it introduced too much aberration when I composed for headshots... I found by myself that lenses above 50mm do their job the way I mean it.

[gilegraam]

@emetronic No rule here since portraits can be great with wide and distorting lenses or telephoto and compressing lenses. Here counts only your creativity.

[Simaster]

still amazing how little views there are.. spread the word people. these lessons are amazing.

[DanKPhotography]

@Simaster I know right! And these guys and Mark Wallace make these very videos professional and looks like they invest a good amount of time to make it. Learned alot from him :)

[SuperMangn]

@Simaster There not that amazing, 8 mins is so short. It would take much longer to cover the subject well. These videos are just an overview on the subjects and are not a robust guide at all.

[Simaster]

@SuperMangn better than anything you or I could do. The amount of effort it takes to put together and edit an 8 minute video is astonishing.

[SuperMangn]

@Simaster Yes but the people behind this video `adorama tv` are a wealthy business with many people working for them, including editors and pro photographers. They could make much more in depth vids if they wanted and it would be no skin off their nose.

[Simaster]

@SuperMangn there are more in depth videos on the actual adorama website - Mark (aka snapfactory) is just one guy, running his own business and managing to film high quality videos in his own time on top. I appreciate them and his work at least, as nothing else comes close on YT. To go through the complete repertoire of classic photography headshots and compositions would take forever I have 4 books on the subject alone. 8 minutes is a good jump off point.
