Great video Greg!

Great video. With the new white background and format you’ve brought it from just a guy doing videos to a professional looking web based show. Now you need to add a cool intro with music.

Great interesting video. Really puts taking portraits into perspective. Alot of details to pay attention too. Love the new video layout.

Always liked the cropped by camera over doing crop in post. And nice helpful video.

I KNEW there was a reason I’d subscribed. Mental note made (no chopping limbs and digits off at the joints). Not something I’d ever thought about but makes perfect sense now I’ve seen examples. Thank you Greg. 🙂

a lot of photographers, even pros that get’s published, crop fingers, hands, wrists, forehead, ankles, etc. It’s NOT a style choice, it is a technical error on user side, 1 being releasing the photo is an error with the poor crop, and 2 not paying attention when cropping in camera or in post crop.

6:59 a little too much headroom in my opinion

litoazmitia says:

Jeez I feel i should be paying you for all these free tutorials you dive us. Thanks boss.

Not if it needs to be cropped to 8×10 which happens quite often.

How should you launch a photography career? :0

Take good photos.

It’s perfect if you have the Rule of Thirds in mind. His eyes fall on the uppermost line.

MrLobsterity says:

Greg, we really need the posing videos. there is enough technical information everywhere, i already know more than enough tech, but when it comes to “-hey,how shall i stand? what pose to make?” – i’m lost, i can’t think out completely anything 🙂 or i can learn by heart some poses from an old russian “teach-yourself book for models”, but i don’t know when to apply which pose, so that book is not an effective learning source

GregoryCazillo says:

I promise they are on my list. I have a bunch of them in mind.

MrLobsterity says:

thanks

Hi Greg:
I was going to comment about the photo of the hand out of the car window (8:30) some time back, when I first saw that shot. As far as I know no one else has commented on the fact that the hand is in the reverse (if the engagement ring is on the left hand as per norm). Is there a reason for the shot being shown this way?
