Soft lighting gives excellent results time after time.You see most of the time, portraits require gentle and subtle light transitioning from one part of the face to the other. This smooth transition allows for softer skin tones, trueness of colour, and overall flattery to anyone’s face (male or female). But there is a time where high contrast lighting can add an artistic element to your portraits. With High-contrast lighting, borders between shadows and light are very well defined. If these light borders are well painted or even skewed in an artistic way, they can create some really captivating and stunning photos.To go to the full blog post on this camera, click herejacquesgaines.com/2021/11/14/photography-lighting-tips-high-contrast-lightingThe photos in this video were shot with the Canon EOS R6, The sony ZV-1, and A7C.

But in the age of "Fake news" and questionable press practices, the movement keeps on growing. Much of moon landing denier's so-called proof is in the photographs. However, as a photographer with a pretty good knowledge of photographic realities, I am sure that the photographs come from the moon's surface. In this video, I will show how the knowledge of just a couple of photographic principles can either explain what you see in the moon photographs or prove that what you see is correct.The playlist to this whole series can be found here:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqk3hjpD-yC06QvDFcVM3mutUzsa4b3suAlso, to get your photo game up and running:I am a partner with Luminar.

The best Fuji lenses for wedding photography Jacques Gaines 2020-10-21 | In compiling the list for the best fuji lenses for wedding photography, I really looked back at my experience in my wedding photography contracts and also with my experience with Fuji lenses in general. Although many of the lens recommendations are personal, I think that you will enjoy the explanations as to why I think that these lenses deserve mention. Also, the Fuji lenses I have included as the best are not all Fuji. I have grown an admiration for Viltrox auto-focus lenses these days as well.

Fujifilm X-T200 hands on review Jacques Gaines 2020-10-18 | In this Fujifilm X-T200 review, I will be evaluating the following camera body aspects.ErgonomicsBoth standard and extra featuresImage quality for both video and photo workflowsUsability of cameraLook below to check out the chapters of the video.A while back, Fujifilm released the second version to their entry-level mirrorless camera body aimed at bloggers, vloggers, and lifestyle content creators. To me, the Fujifilm X-T200 was a welcome upgrade to the X-T100 released about a year and a half before the Fujifilm X-T200. The Fujifilm X-T100 was a compromise in features and nothing special to add to the Fujifilm mirrorless camera lineup.here are the chapters to my video:0:00 Intro01:05 What I will evaluate01:20 Camera specifications02:40 Camera body feel05:12 Input and output options05:48 Fujifilm X-T200 in use06:56 Fuji XT200 menu system07:57 Shooting still photos with the Fujifilm X-T20008:18 Shooting video with the XT20008:59 Fujifilm X-T200 sample photos slideshow09:51 Image stabilization10:34 X-T200 autofocusing performance11:16 Video quality11:58 Slow Motion video quality12:21 Conclusion with pros and consSubscribe to my Newsletter:jacquesgaines.com/the-latest-news-at-jgpTo buy the Fujifilm X-T200 and support this channel, click this link:amzn.to/37ifIkw To see the blog post on my website, click here:jacquesgaines.com/2020/10/11/the-fujifilm-x-t200-reviewI am a partner with Luminar.

Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 vs Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 - The review I cannot do Jacques Gaines 2020-10-13 | Viltrox sent me the 56mm f/1.4 STM to review. Unfortunately, I am making a video to tell you why I cannot compare these two lenses. Why this is a review that I cannot do. I happened to be extremely unfortunate with the 56mm f/1.2 by Fujinon. My Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 had a loose aperture ring, made my camera freeze, and was not a good copy in general. My Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 is such a bad copy of the lens that I do not feel that it represents the len s very well.Today, I will point you to my review of the Viltrox and also tell you why it would be unfair for me to compare these two lenses.Link the the Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 review:youtu.be/KVaI_CjJZ50Link to the blogpost of the Viltrox reviewjacquesgaines.com/2020/09/17/viltrox-af-56mm-f-1-4-stm-reviewIf you would like to buy the Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 STM, click here:bit.ly/viltrox56mmAlso remember:I am a partner with Luminar.

Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 STM review Jacques Gaines 2020-10-04 | In this review of the Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 STM, I will evaluate the image quality, focusing speed, and build quality of this lens. With a $325 retail price that is less than half the price of tits Fujinon 56mm f/1.4 counterpart, it merits everyone’s attention. So. Is the Viltrox 56mm worth it?

10 beginner photography mistakes I wish I never made Jacques Gaines 2020-08-05 | I have reflected on the last 10 years of being a photographer and come up with the 10 beginner mistakes that I wish I never made. These mistakes are compiled into three categories. The technical mistakes, the gear mistakes, and the philosophy mistakes. I decided to share them with you so that, at least, you do not have to go through these mistakes as I did. By doing somewhat of the opposite of what I did, you might be able to go out and save yourself some time.

Why I stepped back from YouTube Jacques Gaines 2020-07-07 | I just thought that it might be nice to share why I have been a bit absent from YouTube these days. Recently my brother passed away.

You always got to keep your eyes on the prize but also enjoy the journey there. My brother’s death really drove home this fact.To donate to the Canadian Heart and Stroke foundation click here:bit.ly/JG-stroke-donationTo see my private video tribute to my brother's life, click hereyoutu.be/KlTn0MrYEV4I am a partner with Luminar.

Natural light photography vs flash photography: Techniques 😉 Jacques Gaines 2020-06-24 | In this behind the scenes video I look at the advantages of natural light photography vs flash photography in a real-world situation where I realized that it was time to put my flash kit away and do some natural light photography near some really cool windows I have in the studio I rent. The original intention was to do sculpt a body photoshoot using flash lighting but it turned out that the natural light was just too amazing where I was.Even though this ended up being a natural light photoshoot, I still show you what I use for my flash photoshoots and let you see my full lens and camera collection and some natural light photography techniques.Here is a post to a blogpost about a Natural Photography photoshoot I did:jacquesgaines.com/2020/04/25/indoor-natural-light-portrait-techniqueTo buy the XT3 and support this channel, click here: amzn.to/2PQdmyxI am a partner with Luminar.

The Fujinon GF 110 F/2 R LM WR review Jacques Gaines 2020-05-17 | In this review of the Fujinon GF 100 R LM WR review, I will be looking at mostly the image quality of this camera lens. It is made for the medium format mirrorless GFX camera system. I will look at Bokeh, Image quality, color contrast, and much more. I had the opportunity to test it with two of my favorite models. Hopefully, it will give you guys a good review to decide on whether this camera is for you.Fujifilm sent this lens to me about 3 weeks ago so I had a good deal of time to actually pixel peep as well.To buy the Fujinon GF110 and support this channel, click here: amzn.to/2QRTk8hTo buy the macro extender and support this channel click here:bit.ly/Fujinon-G-macro-extensionFor my Luminar links go here:I am a partner with Luminar.
