I regularly use 3 out of 5, continuous focus tracking, shooting tethered, giving the models a character to play, as for the eyes looking unnatural I tell them to close their eyes and open them when I tell them and look at the lens or another subject, my expressions... never thought about it, but I have been told numerous times that I have an infectious personality so I guess that I don’t need to worry about it so much... My link for Instagram is NiloFido, actually just google NiloFido and you will find all the links... actually for the role play I have a slide show done for fun for an actor here on KZread..

I love the tip on continuous drive. I have gotten so many pictures that way which otherwise would have never turned out. I am learning and growing daily and love portrait photography. Https://instagram.com/Shane_everett_henry Let me know what you think brother, I have some self portraits in there that I think are some of my best. I am trying to eventually grow my social media and get out there soon and to be available and always on the creative path is where I am now. I love your work and you heavily inspire me. Thank you so much brother! Your techniques and style along with your transparency is so beneficial and helpful along my journey.

I must say, what I liked the best about this is that you said for your subject to get into character! I really like this, because I personally love a candid shot over a staged one. This method allows you to still get the essence of what you are trying to get, without "directing" your subject to the point of being mechanical.

When first tried portrait at home, asked my wife to imagin that she is standing near the red carpet and her idol is going to pass near. She has only one second to impress him or her when the object will pass through... she gave a look that I didn't see in all my 15 years of marriage😂

I loved the idea for the "eye chart" technique. It is kinda expandable to any situation regarding positioning the eye of the model.

OMIGOSH… One of the most helpful videos I've watched in AGES. The eye chart technique is ABSOLUTE GOLD.

Thank you for speaking clearly and to the point! Great hints! I used the Role Play on a 7yr old as she was giving me the staring eyes + cheese smile. Getting her to role play a fashion model worked brilliantly!

So happy to hear it!! 🙌

I love your channel, you're easy to listen to and watch and you make everything so simple. I think the hack from this one I got the most out of is probably three of them..the DITH, tethering, and shooting on continuous. thanks so much!

Playing a role is my favorite. I always ask to show emotion, but playing a role is much more relevant and people can relate to it faster. Thank you very much for this suggestion.

Your videos are quick and loaded with information. Time well spent, thank you.

Thanks Miguel, great tips yet again!

Another great video Miguel. Thanks for sharing all you’ve learned over the years. All great tips but love the ‘character’ tip.

I loved this! Thank you.

Hello from Tampa Florida Miguel! Just became a Subscriber after catching a few of your tutorials, glad to be part of Team Miguel. Great information and tips in this video and the others that I've viewed. Be well, stay encouraged, and I will be watching!!!

Just getting into photography, but my favorite was getting the person to play a character. I've thought about this ever since I saw your first demonstration of it. I believe this will help me move from street photography to portraits. Keep the videos coming. Also....continuous drive was another excellent tip.....No....ALL of them were excellent tips.

I like the eye chart hack Miguel! Great advice thanks for sharing.

Really nice work, love your technique

Hi. Miguel. Thank you. They are all great tips but the last 2 are my favorite. This will help me a lot. Thanks

Great tips, my favorite is to ask them to imagine themselves as something 🔥. My tip is to ask the person to close their eyes and just before I take the pic I'll tell them 'open' it causes their eyes to have a fresh focus look.

The DITH tip was especially helpful! Thank you and great video as always!

great video man! def gonna be using #5, that's a great idea

Being on stage in plays in High School and presently singing in a Barbershop Quartet, I resonated with Role Play. That is my favorite tip

Finally a photographer i can relate too. I enjoyed all your techniques. Fellow photographers say i cant rely on natural but i would love to learn natural lighting.

The tethering and role playing tips are my favorite!

As usual, incredible advice that I will try soon.

I loved the character role playing hack. That's a good one!! Thank you.

The last one, acting a character. Focus of the model will be sky rocketing. Thanks Miguel :)

Loved the eye chart tip...will definitely give it a go.

the eyes chart and the roleplay! for sure will try this out in my next photoshoot!

Loved all the tips!! But the jacket and t-shirt doe.. fire!!

Playing a character was and is my favourite hack. It seems easy for people to step into a role. Thanks for all your great videos!

Loved the tips. Stayed for your jacket and shirt! 🍃🦊🥷🏾

This guy is so legit and genuine❤️

The eyes chart! phenomenal

thank you. you were really helpful

Love your tips 👍👍👍👍

Along with the tips, loving the Kakashi T-shirt and hoodie 👌🏽

Eye Chart is dope !!! Never thought of that.

The story tip was really cool ♥️

OMG i am just amazed by the last photo and it is taken at an environment that is not good at all with just a single light but really the eye of the "detactiv" can talk!

Quality tips - thank you again

Great video and tips !!! The models you photograph are amazing, I was like "Florida" on "Goodtimes" (old tv show) "Dam,Dam,Dam !!" 😆

Miguel! Great Video! For me it was the eye chart! That one is going to help big time!

last one was the best tip!!! im going to use it for sure!

Getting subjects to play a role. I tend to get more like "I am a hostage with no hope of escape" rather than "deer in the headlight" looks. Will definitely try this technique.

Continuous ! Ty! Gunna convert

Eye Chart! Love this idea, Miguel. Will definitely help communicate the idea of closing their gaze without squinting! Can't wait to us this one.😉✌

I thought the hack where you get your subject to act out a character. Brilliant!

I loved the role play and eye chart. I loved this video and the what not to buy video. Obviously I bought everything I didn’t need. I will be using all these techniques on my next shoot.

All the tips were great but I shall remember the "eye chart" one in particular!

Absolutely acting the role. I’m doing that in my shoot this weekend

The eye chart tip was my favorite.

D.I.T.H. for me was the tip that put this one over the top. GREAT content.

Some really helpful tips, and I really love the naruto sweater.

The role play tip was my favorite & I would like to try it on the next shoot!

Hey Miguel first time I watch your video and it’s a truly great content 👍🏻Definitely best 5 hacks I see and I loved the last one “the character “ Tnx a lot and I just sub to your channel:)

I think it depends on what flash power you are using and how fast your camera snaps. You can use low speed continuous and if you have something like an AD600 and like 1/4 or lower power the cycle should be instantly and work fine. With a speedlight, good luck.

@@jneiberger you'd be surprised at the recycle times if you keep the flash power low enough. Get an ADB2 so you can mount two together. Then you have the benefit of two strobes working as one and can fire each on a lower power.

Oh my gosh, you nailed it! I do a lot of headshots and I "grew" up with the "squinch" form Peter Hurley. But I had quite a difficult time to explain it to my german customers as there is no adequate translation for squinch. The eye chart technique is so perfect! By far one of the best hacks I´ve seen for a long time.

All the tips are fire for me!!! i was actually avoiding somethings like continuous drive. the poker face though i think i need to develop more confidence to avoid it. Thank you Sir

I really like that eye-chart tip

I have watched what I think are a LOT of photography tips and "tricks" Yours were actually very helpful to me. Some of them were common sense, and I just didn't know how to find that information before. I wondered about tethering but never really heard anyone that I have seen say it. I like the continuous drive mode. I do use burst shots, but there is a lack of consistency on my part and maybe a camera. My poker face isn't bad, I actually some times thought I should make a face in case someone looked over my shoulder at what may have been a shot, and took in too many opinions of others. I appreciated this video, and it was super helpful. Thank you. I am glad I have been always improving for the past year, but this will shoot me forward.

I haven’t started taking portraits as yet but this is super helpful for when I do. Really liked the tip on role playing to get interesting expressions! And also having a poker face. Thanks a bunch.

Bro I’m seen you videos with @jeffrohas up until today I never subscribed. You earned my subscription! Keep up the good work!

Getting the subject to become a character from a movie or TV is one I think is most important.

Really liked the eye tracker, and @kevinkerwinphotography

Thanks, Miguel. As usual, a straightforward, clear and very useful video. Any chance of doing one with your a7 iii portrait camera settings?

Good tips Miguel. Checked out your Instagram...nice pics. Following.

Thank you very much
