It's probably a great tutorial for those who want to indulge the money.. but it really comes off as a giant ad for someone else's software.. Should be labeled as an ad in the title and description

Would you recommend this lens over 28-70mm for portraits and skincare photography

Does this lens work with canon rebel t7

Great insights on the evolution of test shoots! It's smart to be mindful of the value they bring as your career progresses. Unplanned shoots can be less beneficial, especially when time and budget are limited. It's better to invest in well-planned tests that contribute to your portfolio and fuel your creative passion.

I have always avoided unplanned shoots as being a poor use of time. I produce creative shoots once a month on average or less some years. They do take more time but almost always pay off. The pressure these days comes social media, where it's all about frequency of generating and posting content to sustain visibility and following. Paid tests from agencies, if available today, are grueling: 4 looks per model and 3-4 models in a day, this with newbie models that have to be coached in posing.

Sad when a good video is ruined by horrible sound quality

beautiful

😂😂😂

Do you have any videos shooting with the Lumix? Would like to see your workflow around this camera

What was your lighting set up for this shoot

My problem with evoto is they upload your pictures on their server for processing. Kind of the same with adobe right now, a privacy nightmare

Yes, please! More color grading tutorials would be lovely ❤

What is the difference between what a photographer calls a Test Shoot and a TFP shoot? It sounds like a different term for a very similar practice.

Congrats on 100k

I’m here now. Thank you for sharing this

I can totally relate. Even though I am not a professional photographer, but rather do it on the side for fun, accepting too many agency tests and TFP shoots just because it is hard to say ‘no’ have led me down the path of creative burn-out several times. TFP and testing is a great way of learning the craft and building a portfolio - but it always comes at a cost. Now I am more or leas on a photography hiatus thanks to this. 😢

Thank you for always putting in the effort to do videos quick and yet informative, thoughtful and honest! I guess I’ve been following your work for at least half a decade (probably more) and I love how your ID shows whenever your images pop up somewhere - that is worth getting paid for! Love from Sweden ✨

This is an excellent topic and thank you for bringing it up. When I started to shoot Fashion in 2018 I was doing many test shoots. Every week and sometimes twice a week. Of course I was much younger , I was new to the fashion industry and I needed to build my portfolio. In early 2023 I decided to make some space at home and shoot there the tests. Of course , that was a game changer for me because I studied studio lighting through these tests . I am so grateful that I had the chance to learn studio photography through this process . But as you mentioned , after all these tests I realized that I need something to make my portfolio to stand out . At the same time, last year I became a freelancer so I wanted to have test shoots that will show to potential clients what I can do. Now regarding the agencies , it is so hard to get paid. I have sent them my rates but as you said no one wants to pay. Only new faces that have just signed to an agency pay. Thank you for your video ,I have learned so much from you not only in photography but in photography business as well 🙏

I feel you, thanks for the video! Greetings from Paris. P.S. Hours spent in front of the monitor after the unpaid shoot are the worst :)

image share pls?

Plzz image provide in description becoz all people pratice

Can I use my godox parabolic instead of octabox? I saw in the background you have the same one as me!

This worked out perfectly for. I am so glad you made this video.I already knew about FS, but didn't know how to fix blown out highlights.

this is just what I needed!! thank you!!!

Great, very interesting and enjoyable - thank you!

brilliant!!

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! would you show how to colorize the skin tone in black and white photos?

You made it look so easy! Thank you ✨

First like ❤️

Great tips, Kayleigh! Really insightful information 👏

This was EXACTLY what I have been looking for ... for weeks now ! I'm happy you went through the process at a very good rhythm without digressing into tangents, stories, and theories... you just got to it and showed what you were doing without speeding ahead too fast OR too slow ! It's the detail of the placement of the brush that I was looking for and not just the method ! I'm subscribing to your channel today ! 😊 Thanks very much for your help ! Geez, the amount of tutorials one has to sift through ! 😵‍💫 Very happy with this one right here !

hi kayleigh! thanks so much for this video, but should u deal with the hot spots after or before working on skin blemishes and skin smoothing

Can you suggest which one to go for broader faces …

Thank you <3

Thanks for the video! I don't think I could ever charge for usage unless it's a huge massive client. The way I see it, I'm getting paid to photograph their image and I will charge per image at delivery. Hard enough getting clients, then to charge usage on top of that. not saying it's wrong....just not me.

Too good.

Love your eyebrows

Found this absolutely enlightening and helpful

This is a great tutorial, I made such beautiful pictures with this edit😍

Nice and simple, these tips are really useful! Thanks for sharing! :)

is that the 90 or the 120cm xlite octa? Thanks for sharing your interssting view to the topic ✌️

Hi Kayleigh! Just discovered your channel and appreciate your advice. I’ve been shooting against a white wall but always get a shadow behind them- any tips on how I can get rid of that? My studio is very small

Thank you ever so much you have a really great way of explaining things I did learn a lot about dodge and burn

This looks easy and just the way I can understand it for my lizard brain. Thank you.

Thanks for your insights Kayleigh. There was a question popping up while watching the video. What’s your reason to use a white reflector instead of a silver one? Is it mainly because you’re only using one layer of diffusion on your softbox - which already creates a crispier light than with double diffusion? And you want to make sure your fill light is not going to be too harsh? Up to now I used double diffusion and a silver reflector. But I‘ll definitely giving your approach a try to see which one I like better.

Love your videos thank you for sharing!

my gawd. thank u so much for this tutorial.
