    I love this! I like how you explain which metering mode you use and why. One thing that a lot forget to do (especially when just starting) is to use the metering modes properly and they think that it's recoverable in post. More so now that dynamic range in cameras are great but still, there are scenarios where certain types of metering won't work with the scene.

    Good idea to do this video to differentiate among the 3 natural light shoots. I know I pretty much take for granted shooting outdoors and simply try to make each shot work. Never thought much about an underlying strategy about the process. I will now, and will be better prepared with your tips. Thank you.

You make portrait photography seem so easy, I like all three styles, the first for vibrant and contrast compositions, the second coz it looks like the models are dreaming and the 3rd the viewer is dreaming too, we're transported there, like a movie scene✌
