Excellent, Sal!
Your videos are very much appreciated- great quick synopses. I’m using them locally to hopefully start a business.
I LOVE this tutorial because I struggle with posing men! I can do these poses in a studio setting, too! Thank you, Sal!

Ciao Sal, that was a great video. Thank you for that 👍
The Zoolander should be mandatory in all photo shoot. :D Thank you. You have a new sub.
How did you get good light in the shade? In your video about making women look good on camera, you gave a lot of good principles. What are the principles for making men look good? And how do you find dope locations like this one? Thanks for these videos as they are very helpful.
The blue steel is my favorite
Thank you to all the photographers for allowing their their images to be publicly critiqued. The judges' comments help the entire photographic community.
great video and straight to the point! Just curious how long you take on a normal shoot that would produce these same images?

this would be about a 1hr to 1.5hr shoot and yes - same results - this is how i work... i would obviously not move quite as fast, but def move with purpose. :)
Very nice, thanks. That was all natural light, correct? If so would you mind sharing your ISO, f-stop & ss? I imagine one or more of these varied a bit with each pose.

yes - all natural light. all were shot at f2 and iso 200 - shutter varies since im shooting aperture priority. hth

Love this! I noticed you didn't use any external lighting. I've been spoiled with using lighting so I don't have to reduce my shutter speed or increase my ISO. Do you mind sharing your settings?

glad you enjoyed it. this shoot was a while go... so i would have to go digging for settings... i would say just looking at this i was prob iso 200-400 MAX and shutter of around 100-200 sec. in a location like this - you are going to be hard pressed to pull out lighting - i like to move fast and use the light pouring in - open shade can really produce some killer results. welcome to the channel. :)

Can you make a video breaking down the Psychology of photographing men? I've heard you talk about it a little on the creator seriese season 2. I want to understand camera angle/posing/lighting and any other tidbits you have to offer on making men look big and masculine.

Love the video! You list all of your every day gear, and the description, but did you stick with a single lens on all 10 of these poses? If yes, which one? If no, it would be very useful to know which lens was used with which poses during the video.

Thanks for a very awesome set of poses. I will try these on my next client! Would some of these poses be the same as actor portfolio poses, or are those different? Would actor poses (used for agency) be more theatrical and in studio, or would these suffice? I ask, because I sometimes get requests to do these.
@SalCincotta1
Жыл бұрын
i would consider these lifestyle... so it could work for actors just depends on what they need - some only need a current black and white headshot... but others are modeling as well and love to add something a little more lifestyle.

I’ll answer you the same way. I answered the last person to say that you know many blinks I get per paid portrait session? ZERO! So if it’s all the same to you… I’ll keep being amateur. Silly comment bro. Silly.
