Hello my friend, Anthony.

Hello, hello.

How are you?

Good, how are you?

Fine, hi man.

How is your life in your country?

My country?

Yeah, yeah, you, you Anthony.

Ah, it's still in the lockdown until next,

middle of next month.

Still lockdown, no?

Yeah, one moment.

Hi Marnice, how are you?

Francesca?

Hola.

Hola, ciao, ciao.

Ciao ragazzi.

Perfecto.

Yes, after visiting Italy two, three times per

year, now I'm starting to say that I

am, I am, I understand.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's very, it's very similar,

isn't it?

Yeah, very, very similar, but when Italian, especially

in the South of Italy, when Italians speak

so fast, I don't understand anything.

I don't understand either.

Yeah, happy to know it.

Because they speak, the accent is a bit

different.

I come from the North.

Yeah.

Marnice, how are you?

Good, good.

Can you hear me?

Ah, yes, perfectly.

How's your summer?

I actually have a few weddings, so that's

good.

I'm very jealous.

We're happy for everyone we have.

Yeah, and how many weddings have you photographed?

Six.

Six?

Yeah, but one helping out another friend, so

actually five.

Five, okay.

So in my case, four, and no, three,

sorry, three.

We are waiting for for October, the coming

two weeks, three weeks, and we don't know.

We don't know what will happen because the

situation in my country is extremely horrible, okay?

Our politicians are the best.

No, no, no, ours are the best.

No, no, no, no.

I am talking about not only about one

party.

I'm talking about all the politicians in my

country, all.

All the politicians are horrible, okay?

If we are talking about the right or

the left, okay, whatever, are totally, totally the

worst, okay?

And it's a little bit disaster, but we

are- You had a nice wedding with

Fabio Merula?

Yes, we have a really nice wedding.

It was in the south.

It was an extremely, extremely long wedding, around

16 hours, and yes, it was a wedding

photographer wedding, so you can imagine it was

full of wedding photographers, full of Italian wedding

photographers, and it was super, super funny.

The ceremony, I remember that one of the

things was, I don't know how to explain

in English, but the priest take a camera,

okay, and make something like a ritual with

the camera, okay, and say, the priest says

something similar, bless this camera for taking amazing

photos, and it was really, really nice, and

it was very strange because now in my

country, Fabio Merula told me that he's living

in Tuscany, and in Tuscany, if you want

to get married, it's always with 40 people

maximum.

Small weddings, no party, no reception.

It's only something similar to a small ceremony

with a little dinner, okay?

And in my country now it's very similar,

okay?

It's only a small wedding, only around 30

-40 people maximum, no reception, no party, but

in the south of Italy it was just

the opposite.

When we landed at the airport everybody was

wearing masks, but when we left the airport

anyone used masks.

It was a 140 people wedding and anyone

used any mask, anyone.

No one.

Only photographer and only videographers, okay?

For 16 hours.

16 hours and it was 10 days ago,

okay?

And I am totally healthy, but believe me,

when we finished the wedding I thought, okay,

it's very probable that I have the virus.

I have the virus because I was working

and there were a lot of times that

the groom told me, hey Victor, you don't

have to use mask.

In the south of Italy there is no

virus, there is no virus.

And I said, really?

Really?

In the south?

Why not here, no?

And the groom told me a lot of

times, Victor, believe me, you don't have to

use mask, but I used during all day

and Fabio as well and as well and

the videographer as well, but nothing happened.

And in Spain we photographed a wedding that

everyone used mask, okay?

It was a small wedding, only 70 or

60 people, okay?

And it was in the last week of

August and another wedding was in Austria and

in Austria anyone used mask, anyone.

Or no one, sorry.

So it was nice and it was a

nice wedding in the Alps and nothing else.

We are here waiting for the next year.

I don't know what will happen, not only

in my country.

I'm talking about the rest of the world

because the virus is still here, no?

It's a big disaster.

But now we booked or we booked a

few weddings for the next year.

At this moment we have booked around 13

or 14 weddings for the next year.

Okay, that's good.

And also we have around 20 weddings of

this year that was postponed for the next

year.

So 2021, if the virus is finished, the

season will be extremely crazy, but I don't

know what will happen in the coming months,

no?

So I don't know.

Okay.

Hello guys.

Thanks for coming, okay?

Hello to everybody.

It's a pleasure for me.

Sorry again for my bad English.

I know it's a disaster.

It's like a mixture between Spanish and English,

okay?

So...

I still understand.

Ah, Jorge Sulbaran, how are you?

Hey man, how are you?

How are you guys?

Everything's good.

Congratulations for your photo.

Which photo?

Ah, will I tell you?

Ah, okay.

Got it, got it, got it.

Sorry, sorry.

I'm in another planet right now.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I am talking about, I am talking about,

sorry guys, about this photo.

Where is, where is, where is, where is,

where is?

Where?

Yeah, here.

Yeah.

Amazing photo, man.

Congratulations.

I love it.

I love the green.

So also, the green color is a, is

a strange, is a strange color.

It's not, no, it's not like a blue,

it's not like, for example, a red one,

no?

The red one color, the blue, no, it's

really nice, but having a good combination with

green colors is not easy, and in your

case, it's a wonderful photo, but I have

a little bit, or I found a good

way to improve the photo.

Okay, so I'm so sorry.

I am very, very direct, okay, and I

started to edit or to correct this photo

from Jorge Sulbaran, from Jorge from Venezuela.

He is an amazing guy.

He's a good photographer, and I would like

to show you, all of you, what is,

which is the little mistake of this photo,

okay?

So, for this video, I would like to

spend around, for this talk, I would like

to spend around 90 minutes maximum, okay?

I would like to finish around 5.30.

Now, it's 4.10, and I would like

to spend more time with the photos that

need an improvement, and I will, and I

will be a little bit fast with the

photos that are perfect, okay?

Do you understand me?

Yes.

Okay, the unique thing, this is not only

for Jorge.

This is for everybody.

There is a few mistakes, and one of

the, one of, is this, this part, for

me, is too much bright, and another one

is this part, okay?

It's too much bright, okay?

So, the idea, we have two options with,

with, oh, sorry, with radiant.

Oh, yeah, with radiant makes something similar to

this.

Get dark, this corner, okay?

Because too much bright, and also, for this

part, for example, this part is too much

bright for me.

In these cases, with this, I don't know

the name in Photoshop, eyedropper, no?

Yeah, eyedropper tool.

I put something like here, brush, and darken,

okay?

So, fast.

I'll be a little bit, okay?

This is my interpretation, okay?

It's only my idea, remember?

Uh-huh.

Okay, safe.

But go for another one.

Oops.

I would like to say, I would like

to say that this time there is a

really good level with photography.

I'm talking about amazing photos.

One of these is from Alex Kurs.

I love it.

This is another one, another perspective.

But in the current times, there are a

lot of photos or a lot of drone

photos are very original, but the thing is

that these kind of photos are very, very

similar.

If you are checking, for example, the last

contest on Fearless, the WPPI, the ISPWP, it's

very easy to find these kind of photos.

I love it, but this is the reason.

Anthony with this photo.

I love it.

Jaco, fantastic.

I don't know what I have to say

here because it's an amazing photo.

Nuno Lopez, fantastic.

Amazing.

Amazing portrait.

I love it.

Yeah.

Viviana, really nice colors, yellow.

And I love how this guy or how

the groom is touching her in a very

natural way.

It's a very simple, simple photo that I

love.

And look at this, how this yellow works

with the blue, with the white.

It's a really nice photo for me.

Evelyn.

It's a good photo, but I have a

few things to say that the post-production

for me is too much.

And in this case, the cropping is not

the best.

Okay.

Another, yeah.

This one.

Jesus Ochoa with this amazing light.

It's fantastic.

Yeah.

And I think that I missed another one.

Are these all the images, Victor?

Sorry?

Are these all the images sent or?

Yeah.

Because mine aren't in there.

No, but you didn't send me.

Yeah, I sent you yesterday.

No, really?

Really?

Or I didn't press send, maybe?

No, I think so.

Let me see.

Send.

Send me again, okay?

Yeah.

One moment.

Madlix.

Sorry.

My internet connection or my Wi-Fi connection

now is a disaster because we are with

this charging, charging, charging.

But I don't remember your photo.

Okay, I'll send.

Do you want to send me again?

Okay.

And it's very easy.

Okay.

Yeah.

The challenge.

No.

Weird.

Okay.

I'll check.

No, no, no.

They didn't receive it.

No.

Okay.

So, send me again, okay?

Yeah.

Okay.

Let's talk.

I would like to spend more time not

with the best photos or with my favorite

photos because it's difficult to find a mistake

here because in photos like this, the reason

that I love it is because it's another

way of composition.

The bride and groom are in the other

place of the frame, okay?

Because normally, a big part of the photographers

put the bride and groom just in the

center.

But this photographer made something like the opposite,

no?

And the black and white is really, really

amazing.

Everything, no?

And the way this photographer showed this couple

is very, very interesting, okay?

But it started with Andres Montoya.

Andres Montoya sent to me this photo, and

I said it's one of my favorites.

It's another way of seeing.

Sorry, Leo.

This is my song here.

It's playing.

Okay.

So, please be careful if you have a

drone because with a drone, you will be

able to capture amazing, amazing photos with another

perspective.

But if you have a drone, you have

to force yourself to capture just something opposite

like this perspective, okay?

What we've – Federic was a student in

one of my workshops three years ago.

He's from Benz, I think.

And the main mistake in this photo is

this hand.

So, remember, guys, if you have any questions,

if I am talking about other things that

– or you want to have more information

about other kind of things, please let me

know.

And for me, the biggest mistake is this

one.

Your hands are not good, okay?

I would like to see them, okay?

And this is a little mistake, okay?

Be careful, guys, always with hands.

Be careful, okay?

Go with another one.

David, Rodríguez, I think the black and white

is not working.

For me, it's too much dark, okay?

I would like to see more things here

because the black and white is very hard.

I would like to see more information in

this part, in this part that is totally,

totally black.

And I love the powerful or the superpower

black and white or the strong black and

white, but in this way, it's not working

at all for me, okay?

I don't know why – I don't know

what is happening with the – I can

paint.

I'm talking about these parts.

No shapes.

It's only here, a few things.

No, it's not working.

It's a good way, this part.

They are connected, but I need to see

more information.

Anthony, talk about this amazing photographer, okay?

Really nice, the way of editing the light.

Look and see the hand, my friend.

Remember, very important.

Very important.

Very important always.

But here, it's not very important because we

can see this hand and we can see

how they are totally connected.

I love it.

Fantastic.

Anthony, you always rock.

You are an amazing photographer.

Cool.

And also, I like to see this part

of – why?

Ah, it's dark.

Sorry.

Yep.

Thank you.

Art is perfect, with shapes, with colors.

The only thing, maybe, if we are using

this part, okay?

The lines, Ctrl A, Ctrl T, only a

little bit, no?

Because the lines now are better.

Congratulations, Anthony.

Thank you.

Will you have your next wedding?

Me?

You?

First thing, maybe next year.

But this year, I still have the pre

-wedding.

Yeah, I got more pre-wedding on this

year.

So, the wedding season now, in your country,

they finish it?

Because under lockdown now, no wedding can separate

in this year.

They ban the government, they don't allow for

the wedding.

Yeah.

In Spain, similar.

It's a big disaster.

Yeah.

Okay.

David, show us this photo.

It's a good way of working with light,

with hard light, but for me, I think

the bride is not in the best position,

because she is looking to this part, and

I think the light is here.

So, in my case, if I will be

the photographer, I will say, hey, my friend,

can you look at this part?

Because the light is coming from the right

to the left, okay?

So, we can't see her face.

So, the light is here, I know, but

the light is here, but I would like

to see the other part.

And one of the solutions is saying, hey,

my friend, can you walk to the other

part, and maybe capturing only...

Sorry.

For example, if I say, please, my friend,

can you walk to the right?

Imagine, no?

Only two steps.

Okay, walking one, two, three steps, and it's

very probable that only the light only goes

to the medium part of the body, okay?

Maybe, okay?

And the groom is not working at all,

and this pose is, for me, is not

working.

Normally, men don't know how to do or

what to do with hands, okay?

In this case, when I have a groom

that is very nervous and I don't know

what they have to do with his hands,

I say, okay, put your hands in your

pocket and nothing else, okay?

Take it easy.

You are in silence.

Why?

I'm learning.

Learning?

No, learning.

Learning English?

With you.

Okay, and look at the white here, here,

here, or here, in the same white.

And this is a photo from David Azurmendi,

okay?

I think he's from my country, maybe, because

the surname is from my...

or the South America.

Okay, but the most important thing, the whites

are not working.

It's too much bright, and we can see

her face here, the whites here are not...

This is a photo without contrast, and maybe

in that way it's not working, okay?

Excuse me, Marnix?

Yeah?

Did you send the photo?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I sent them.

Okay.

Two thick legs.

Yeah, sorry guys.

Oh, Marnix sends...

Just choose one, it's fine.

Yeah, let's see, let's see.

You can also press the arrow on the

right to go to the next picture.

Ah, interesting.

These lines are very...

Okay.

For me, I think...

For me, it's my opinion.

One of my favorites...

My favorite is this one, okay?

I can see what is...

Ah, yeah, this is the photo.

Okay.

My favorite is this one.

Another one is this, because I love how

the bride is playing with her finger, and

also the green color and the red color

and the blue color is working perfectly, okay?

And the white dress is similar to blue,

but it's perfect as well, okay?

And I like to see this, no?

This is a skin color, no?

It's very brown, black, okay?

And no, from...

It's very, very white, no?

And yeah, it's a good photo.

This one is okay, perfect, but I prefer

this one and this and this one.

And the reason because I think this photo

is not working at all, my opinion.

Okay, remember Marlix, okay?

Oh, yeah, sure.

I'm going to edit the photos that I

think are not the best, okay?

Sorry, guys.

I like the idea to put a powerful

light here.

It's totally different.

It's new, okay?

But there is a few things like these

lines.

This line for me, it's not working at

all, but this is not the biggest problem

for me.

The biggest problem for me is this.

The hand is not working.

So, look at this, how the bride is

moving, no?

It's something like this, okay?

And I would like to see something more

soft, okay?

Yeah, more elegant, yeah.

Yeah, and this is...

And look at the ring.

It's an amazing ring.

So, everything is working, the leather, the room,

no?

So, this is a good way, no?

Pocket and making something natural, okay?

Perfect.

And he's laughing, perfect.

And I don't care if I can't see

this hand, okay?

But the main problem for me is this,

okay?

Yeah?

Yeah.

And I think that this photo, it's okay,

but you have better photos because it's normal,

no?

I don't know.

It's very normal.

So, the background is totally okay.

It's a good portrait, okay?

But it's not something like other portraits that

you are showing me or I am seeing

you the last times, okay?

And this photo, it's a good idea, man,

but it's not working because you didn't choose

the correct background, okay?

It's not working.

This part is not clean.

So, you need something like this, a neutral

background, no?

And this is full of bricks and also

the color is not the best, no?

It's something like gray, green, brown.

The couple, I think, is the same, like

the yellow, no?

Like the yellow room, okay?

He's working, she's working, everything is working, but

the location or the background is not the

best for me, okay?

But, yeah, good idea.

Okay, cool.

Thank you.

So, my favorite from you, remember, is –

sorry, is this one.

Yeah.

And this one, for me, is going to

the folder.

I think a lot of folders here.

Congratulations, Marnix.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You need a 2020 full of weddings, okay?

Oh, yeah, I do.

I'm not the only one.

No, yeah, because you are on fire and

it's something like you are a football player

and you to play.

So, you need to play no 15 minutes,

you need to play 90 minutes, no?

So, yeah, it's very important that maybe 2021,

if we have weddings, it will be a

really nice year for you, no?

Fingers crossed.

For you and for me, because I'm totally

excited for the next year or for the

coming weddings, so I need to take photos.

I need to have weddings and all these

kind of things, no?

Okay, go for another one.

Diego Tabango sent us this photo.

It's a good concept, it's a good idea,

but for me it's not working because he

captured this photo not in front of the

couple, just 45 degrees, and this is for

me a shy angle.

Okay, remember what is the meaning of shy

angle.

It's not capturing in front of the real

moment, okay, or of the action.

So, it's very important to capture everything that

is happening in front of you, okay?

There is a few…

So, Diego Tabango, it's a good photo, okay?

The black and white for me is really,

really interesting because here we can see clouds.

Here in the bright points, there are full

of shapes, it's fantastic, and also the wedding

bride is totally, totally perfect, okay?

Nice, but you need to capture just in

front of you and no 45 degrees, okay?

Congratulations, Diego.

Okay, Francesca.

Francesca Piccolino Studio.

Hello.

Hello, my friend.

How is the life in the UK?

Disaster.

Disaster?

Yeah, they reduced the weddings from 30 to

15 today.

I can imagine.

So, I would like to go to your

country for a Warsaw, and remember you are…

Oh, yeah.

I don't forget, I don't forget, believe me.

I forgot.

I didn't forget, believe me.

So, the thing is that I am waiting

for when your government says that the people

from my country don't have to make a

quarantine, no?

But it's very probable at the end of

the year or maybe at the beginning of

the next year, no?

Already, yeah, yeah, but now your country, like

the other countries, is not the best moment,

and also for people or for Spanish people,

we can go there, no?

It's not possible.

Okay, so, Francesca sent four photos.

This is the first one, this is the

second one, the third one, and the fourth

one.

My favorite one is this, okay?

So, I think you took the photo not

in the correct place, okay?

It's a good black and white, it's okay,

but maybe you need to take two or

three steps to your left, okay?

And only capturing a little part of something

similar.

I don't know, okay?

I don't know if it was possible.

I'm talking now after a few months after

the wedding, okay?

But I would like to see or to

make something similar to this, no?

Only cropping, only showing only a little bit

part, okay?

Or maybe say to him, say to him,

hello, my friend, is it possible before the

bride, okay?

So, a second before the bride arriving, say

to him, hello, my friend, is it possible

to stay here, okay?

Because...

There wasn't light over there, though.

What?

Sorry?

Wasn't any light over there.

You are talking about light?

Yeah, I couldn't see any light there, and

why are you telling me the groom should

wait for her?

Mm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe,

maybe.

I don't know.

So, the light inside of the room is

really nice.

It's really interesting.

The building...

It was just coming from the top, from

the top behind the bride.

There was a window upstairs.

Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

That's it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, the composition for me is not the

best.

So, it's a really good idea, but...

And the building is fantastic, and the downstairs

are really, really tough.

No, I'm very British, no?

But the photo isn't working at all, okay?

So, there is a big difference between this

photographer and this photographer.

This photographer is very interesting.

This photographer is not interesting for me.

So, the reason because it's not interesting for

me is this.

Look at these lines, not working, okay?

In my case, I propose the next thing,

something similar.

And the unique thing, imagine to say something

like, for example, like I'm showing you this.

Yeah.

Look at this hand, okay?

Would be really interesting.

Sorry.

Would be very interesting, okay?

To say to her, okay, my friend, can

you play with the chin or with the

face of your husband or similar, okay?

Play with hands.

Because face-to-face, it's okay, but you

need something else, like a hand or similar.

And it's a good idea when you don't...

Sorry.

When there is a little space, okay?

It's perfect.

Don't touch.

Nice.

But you need a hand.

Do you understand me?

Yeah.

Here.

Really good idea, but it's not working.

Why?

Because look at this part.

It's a good idea, remember, but it's not

the best for me because it's touching that

and it's touching here and also this part,

okay?

It's really interesting, but it's not...

It's almost there, okay?

And then another one.

It's okay, but maybe it's a little bit

simple.

And be careful with how you edit your

photos because I recommend you to be more

deep, something like this, with the blues, dark

blues.

But now I am working with a GPA,

so the blues now are very strange.

But I recommend you underexpose one or two

points, okay?

Because in this photo...

So look at this.

This photo and this photo and this one.

These four photos, if you underexpose two points,

it will be perfect, especially for this photo

because I don't care if you are working

with Nikon, Sony or Canon or Fuji.

I don't care, but now the latitude is

too big.

So if you underexpose two points, now it's

perfect because here it's not working.

Jacob, tell us how you capture this photo,

please.

I used a backlight on the wall on

the right.

Yeah, just one light.

Yeah, it's amazing.

I just wanted to blow out the background.

Yeah.

Yeah.

If I like this photo, it's because fingers

are perfect.

Really nice.

And look at this because I made something

similar, but it was not okay.

I'm talking about...

I'm talking about...

Come on, come on, come on, Wi-Fi.

Come on, come on.

Where is...

Yeah, this one.

Look at this.

This hand.

I tried to make something similar, but it's

not working.

And also this hand is not working.

This hand, the groom's hand is not working.

And the right hand is more or less,

but in your case, the reason because I

love it, it's full of curves, no?

This is one curve, another one, another one.

I was actually trying so many times for

her finger to be positioned.

Yeah.

Because I really wanted that curve and I

wanted a separation for every fingers.

Very interesting.

A lot of price.

Really?

A lot of price.

I can't imagine.

Okay, really well.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Really well.

Okay.

I talk from the Jorge Sulbaran's photo.

Julio Rodriguez.

I don't understand this photo because I said

a portrait, but this portrait is okay, but

it's full of mess for me.

No, this line is not working.

It's not working.

It's not because the room is here and

it's full of lines.

Look at this.

It's full of buildings.

So you need a neutral background like this

or like the sky.

It's not working.

Julio, sorry.

And the next time say to him, please

stand up, smoke a cigarette, look through the

window, something similar, no?

But when you take a portrait like this,

it's not working, my friends.

Yeah.

Okay.

Another one.

Any questions?

No questions.

Marcos Sanchez.

Similar.

I like the contrast between the color of

the street, noise, something warm and then the

cold temperature of the sky.

Okay.

It's working.

It's full of energy, but the background again

is not working.

And also there is another line here that

is not working.

In my case, I recommend you to grow

again this way.

Okay.

More clean.

Okay.

Michael Cornelis, a good guy and a good

photographer, but with a few mistakes.

I would like to, yeah.

What is happening here, my friend Anthony?

What is the mistake for you?

Me?

You.

This photo?

Yeah.

I think on the left-hand side on

the top one.

Yeah.

And the composition, I think it's too small

when you compare with the sky.

Yeah.

Totally agree.

And also for me, the background as well,

the tree.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The tree.

So maybe the idea will be to say

to the couple, hey guys, come to me,

come to me, take two, three steps.

Okay.

So imagine, for example, the couple, something similar,

no?

If I, you know, if we say, hey

guys, come to me, three of, wait, five

years.

Yeah.

It's something similar, no?

If we say, hey guys, take two steps.

Okay.

Come to me, come, come, come.

And so the couple, imagine the couple something

like this.

Okay.

And in this way, the perspective will be

totally, totally different.

Okay.

So remember, this is Photoshop.

Okay.

Don't make this.

Okay.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you, Anthony.

Thank you, Anthony.

Nuno Lopez.

Fantastic.

Where is Nuno?

Nuno, Nuno, Nuno, Nuno, Nuno.

Okay.

Nuno is from Portugal.

I don't know if he's living in Porto

or in Lisbon, but this portrait is amazing

for me.

It's really nice.

So the bride is working.

The wedding dress is perfect.

And also, I love to see when a

photographer take a photo with the bride and

with her wedding dress, no?

It's a good way.

Congratulations.

It's one of my favorites.

Rafa Vincero is a good friend of my

country.

Okay.

And this is not perfect.

Sorry, Rafa, because I always say that your

photos are not perfect.

Okay.

Sorry, my friend.

But I have to be honest.

Okay.

So be careful when you use flash in

these situations, because if you put a flash

in a really small place, it's very difficult

to control you.

And also, look at this pose, okay?

It's not working, this pose.

It's not one of my favorites.

This hand is okay, but sometimes when I

have time, I say to her, please, my

friend, without bouquet, without bouquet, stay in front

of each other and look each other.

Get closer, get closer, get closer.

But this place, I think, or this location

has more possibilities than putting a flash or

saying to the couple, stay in this corner,

because it's full of light, no?

And I don't know why, my friend.

But the composition also is not working at

all.

Excuse me, Rafa.

I try to be soft, but we are

friends, and I have to be hard, okay?

Another one.

Why this photo from Sergio?

Hello, Sergio.

Why this photo is not working for me?

The light.

Yeah, this part, the light is not the

best.

It's a little bit artificial.

So, also, another part, be careful when you

use plugs.

I'm talking about this.

Too much, too much dark.

And it smells like post-production, okay?

Too much.

So, look at this.

Too much dark, and it's not the best.

It's a good idea to frame this couple

here.

Yeah.

Now, in this triangle, it's okay, but it's

not the best.

You need to improve, my friend, in this

photo.

The flash is working, the light is working,

but the composition is not the best, and

the couple are not connected.

So, pick.

Send me four photos or three photos.

This one, second one, and the third one.

The first one, I think, guys, you know

why it's not my favorite, because the background

is not working.

Yes, it's nice.

It's a good background for the wedding venue,

for a wedding planner, for all these kind

of things, but we are talking about photography,

okay?

And in this case, I prefer this portrait.

It's more personal.

It's more funny, but it's a little bit

simple, okay?

And in this way, it's the same, no?

She's not walking in the best way, okay?

Is he in Soul Peak?

Soul Peak is not here.

The next one.

T.

Pierre.

I don't know why.

I don't know why this guy, Crop, in

this way, this photo, no?

It's not the natural, not the natural size

of the camera.

So, I don't know why, because I think

the original size is maybe of the format,

no?

The original format is something like this, no?

And for me, it's working.

It's a good photo.

So, the light is perfect.

The wedding dress is perfect.

I don't see her face, but I don't

need it.

Maybe this part, no?

These lines is not the best.

They are not working, but look at this.

This part and this part.

It's a good photo for the couple, but

you need something else, maybe.

But the main problem was the format, okay?

Of the photo.

Vidal Cruz.

Vidal Cruz, I think this photo is not

working for a few reasons.

The first one is, for me, is the

acting.

It's a little bit old, okay?

Now, this acting is not too much, actually,

okay?

It's not my favorite acting, okay?

And also, the way of editing, the post

-production is not working, my friend.

It's something like I need to contrast, because

I don't know what is happening here.

This part, no?

It's strange.

So, maybe, so, yeah.

It's very strange, because darks are a little

bit destroyed, but I don't know where.

No, it's strange.

And also, yeah, we can see here, oh,

sorry.

We can see something strange with the veil.

No, it's white, it's brown.

Be careful with this way of editing.

And also, find a neutral background.

The neutral is here, the sky.

No, here, my friend, okay?

Be careful.

Oops.

Vidal, Vidal, Vidal.

And while inside, another photo, I think is

from the same.

Yeah, yeah, Vidal.

Okay, Marnix, can you help me?

Can I help you?

Yes.

Can you tell me which are the few

mistakes for you here?

On the sides, we have the buckets for

the plants.

They are kind of in the way.

Her hand is in front of his head.

Her arm is a little bit in front

of her mouth.

I don't know if the head is photoshopped

or not.

I think it might be because of the

shallow depth of field.

So, if I look at how much the

trees behind her blur, might be that the

head, if it were this close, were a

little bit more shallow depth of field.

I don't know.

But the hand of the guy should be

in his pocket.

What I like is the way they're positioned

inside the green.

So, it's the perfect spot.

If you're going to place them there.

Nice.

Thank you.

Yeah, it's okay.

The other thing now is the location, but

maybe they are not in the best place.

I would like what you said.

Okay.

And nothing else.

Okay.

So, be careful, please, Vidal, with the locations.

Okay.

And also, with cleaning the backgrounds.

Okay.

Like this.

Look at these lines.

Look at these lines.

These lines.

Okay.

And finally, as Marnix said, this hand.

Thank you, Marnix.

Okay.

So, this is a good way of working

for me.

As I said, it's a very simple photo,

but it's perfect.

So, I love it.

And the way of the hand.

Maybe I would like to see this hand.

Maybe, maybe.

I'm not sure.

But I would like to see something less

or more fingers or similar, but they are

totally connected.

The colors are working.

This hand is very naturally.

The pose of him is working.

The light is working.

It's a very simple way of working, but

for me, it's perfect.

Yeah.

Congratulations, Viviana.

Okay.

Dream Big Studio.

Where is Dream Big?

Dream Big?

Hey, my friends.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Here from Argentina.

But you are in lockdown now or not?

In lockdown?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

We are in lockdown.

It's about six months ago.

What?

During six months, we are in quarantine at

home.

Really?

It's really, really hard.

Yeah.

So, the main problem is about the economy,

no?

Six months, the economy is totally destroyed, no?

And in a country similar, it was four

months and now the situation is very, very,

very, very dramatic, okay?

Yes.

It's difficult, but well, we are trying to

do something.

We are trying to start to make weddings

here at the capital city.

Yeah.

And well, it is not totally allowed, but

well, the people are tired.

They are all doing.

Okay.

Tell us how you capture, how did you

capture this photo?

How many, what kind of flashes or, because

I think you used flash, no?

Two flashes?

Yes.

Yes.

Two flashes.

On the background?

On the background, there is two cannon speedlight.

Yeah.

And with the ambience light.

Tell me more.

Tell me more.

Tell me more.

Yeah.

Maybe, maybe you need one of these hands,

maybe here.

Okay.

It's something like that.

Like this plane, playing with the team or

with the barrel or similar.

Okay.

The truth is that this photo is totally

okay.

Okay.

But the thing is that the, so this

effect, I'm talking about flashes.

Okay.

Now this effect, okay.

Was two years ago, was trendy two years

ago.

And now it's a little bit old, no?

So I'm sure that you have better photos,

more actual photos.

Okay.

I'm totally, totally sure.

Okay.

It's a good way.

Okay.

You control it perfectly, perfectly, the flashes.

Okay.

But I remember me when I used flash

every time, every, every, everywhere.

During every wedding, I used two, three, four

flashes.

Every, during the ceremony, during the party, during

the portrait session.

But now I am more focused on this

kind of photos, no?

With more highlight and all these kinds of

things.

Okay.

But this effect, no?

It was very, very popular.

It was trendy like this photo.

Okay.

But be careful with all these photos.

Okay.

Are very, very powerful.

It's very probable that your, that this, so

your, your clients are very, very happy with

this photo.

But for you as a photographer, you need

to take another step.

Okay.

Because I know you are totally ready.

Because I know your work.

Okay.

And I know you have, you have for

me better photos than this one.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you, Victor.

It's a gift.

It's a gift.

It's a gift.

It's a gift for us.

No worries.

No worries.

They are saying that, that it was very,

very difficult for them to find or to

select a photo.

Okay.

Here is the couple.

Okay.

And I think that they have, for example,

this one.

All these photos are from this year or

are from the last year?

It's from before February.

Before February.

Look at this photo.

It's a wrong photo, but for me it's

better than the flash, than the other one.

Or this one, sorry.

Good portrait.

One.

I prefer this one or this one than

this one.

This is something like trendy.

Very, very popular.

Okay.

You understand me?

No.

It's something like a TV couple with an

incredible place, with an incredible location.

But maybe this, so this couple is Pepe

and Pepa.

And maybe could be Victor and Erika.

And maybe could be Maria and Gabi.

So I prefer this.

So for me, this portrait is perfect.

It's another perspective, another way of shooting.

And I can see they are totally connected.

For me it's better.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you, Victor.

It's difficult for us to choose one picture.

And we understand that.

We understand.

We understand that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

Yeah.

Okay.

No worries, guys.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

You're welcome, guys.

Evelyn.

Evelyn.

Evelyn.

Evelyn is a good friend.

But this time I think there is too

much post-production here.

And the colors are working really, really well.

Red, blue, white, are really nice.

But for me, for me the composition, especially

this card, is not working.

It's okay, but the cropping is not working

here.

So also this nose is touching her.

And maybe this is the problem maybe for

me.

Okay.

The other part is working, this hand.

The red card is super nice, but the

new crop here too much for me.

I can see.

Give me a second.

The unique problem is this.

They are touching.

For me.

Because the way of editing for me is

too much, but it's okay.

But this part is the most complicated for

me.

Yeah.

Evelyn, congratulations.

I know you are using the last last

Canon camera.

You are totally, totally happy with that camera.

And I think you are shooting weddings in

Bulgaria.

You are very lucky.

Okay, guys.

Francisco Ortiz, from a country, from the South

of Spain, from one of the most beautiful

cities that I know in the whole world.

And this city is called?

Granada.

If you know Granada, if you don't know,

if you haven't visited Granada, I recommend you.

It's one of my favorite cities.

And it's super cheap, and the food is

amazing, and the weather is top.

And the culture of the city, the way

of living is very slow, in your way,

very calm.

Really nice, really nice city.

Yeah.

How did you capture this photo, my friend?

He's saying that my English is so good.

He's saying that it's a double exposure.

Okay.

And I thought you captured, in the first

time, I thought that you captured the photo

through a glass.

But he's saying that it's a double exposure.

Okay.

The main problem for me is this, so

this line.

Okay.

Give me a second.

I would like to see what is happening.

It's not the best, but maybe.

No, no, no.

Photoshop sometimes is not working.

Okay.

Sometimes it's a disaster.

Sometimes.

No.

I don't care, guys.

You know this part.

For me, it's not working at all.

Okay, Fran.

I love how it's working, this hand.

I love how they are connected.

Okay.

It's a different view.

Double exposure was a very trendy effect, and

I took a lot of double exposure photos

six years ago, but I forgot completely.

Okay.

And congratulations for your photo.

I love it.

Perfect, Fran.

Perfect.

Okay.

One question for Francesca.

Francesca?

Okay.

Can you tell me what is wrong?

What is wrong, okay, in this photo?

What is happening?

Light.

The light is wrong.

For me, maybe the light of the car

will be better just in the back, no?

Francesca?

Yeah, I think so, yeah.

Or maybe saying to them, hello, guys.

Can you take two steps to the right,

okay?

Because it's similar to have a backflash, no?

But in this way, it's a backlight, no?

It's a warm light.

It's a very interesting light, so maybe it

will be better, okay?

And this photo is from Dave's Montenegro, okay?

It's my opinion, no?

Well, anything else, Francesca?

Maybe the nose is touching.

Yes, a little bit.

Oops.

Anything else?

Go, go.

So, please, it's very important.

And the hand, yeah.

Yeah, it's very important to have maybe one

or maybe two photos with the bouquet.

But in my case, always say, okay, when

I have one, two, three photos maximum with

bouquet, I say, okay, my friends, and now

with a bouquet, I need to see your

hands.

I need to see how you play with

your hands.

And please, my friend, or please, my bride,

put your hands in his chest, or similar.

Or put your hands in his shoulders, in

his elbow, in his face, okay?

But with this big bouquet, we can see

what is happening, okay?

This is the unique thing.

And the light, for me, the light is

the biggest problem, okay?

Dave's Montenegro.

Okay, Francesca, thank you so much.

Thank you.

Jesus Ochoa.

Where is Jesus?

When we were checking this photo with Erica,

she proposed me to change to black and

white.

And I said, I thought, okay, maybe black

and white works perfectly as well.

This is one of these kind of photos

that works in color or in black and

white.

It's always work, okay?

But for me, I prefer color, okay?

It's really nice.

And I don't know why, but she's very

soft, okay?

And she's very calm.

And also, I like to see, you know,

how the wedding dress is not touching.

The light of the wedding dress is super

okay.

Maybe here, but not at all.

Maybe the hand, but for me, it's okay.

I'm going to ask to another guys, okay?

David, my friend.

Hi, me?

You, David.

How are you?

I'm fine, thank you very much.

How is the situation in your country?

Oh, well, it's terrible.

It's getting worse day by day.

We're going to have a super cup final.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it's very probable that it will be

something, no?

It's something similar, like a football champion or

similar, no?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The Sevilla and Bayern Munich, yeah.

They're going to play.

Raise your president.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Could you give me your opinion about this

photo?

And in case you see something wrong or

something to improve, can you tell me, please?

It's hard to tell because I like this

photo, but I have only one problem, that

the arm is too dark for me.

Maybe this one.

Well, for me, it's not a problem.

Yeah, when I find a photo like this,

it's a bit difficult to find a mistake,

no?

And also, so it's working.

The lighting is working.

The color is working.

The light is working.

Also, I like this kind of shapes.

This is very interesting, no?

It's like, it's nice.

Always, it's perfect, no?

Nice.

Jesus Ochoa, from Venezuela, and he's living in

Colombia.

Marco Moreno.

Marco Moreno sent me this photo.

And this photo is okay, but for me,

my opinion is like, it's a little bit

old, no?

This pose, it's a beautiful bride.

The light is working.

Francesca?

Yeah, sorry, Francesca, my son.

It's cool.

I know, I know.

So, the unique thing is that, for me,

it's my opinion.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Sorry, Marco, but it's a little punch, no?

A little bit more powerful, but I don't

like too much.

So, and also, be careful with these kind

of things.

I don't like too much Photoshop, but for

these things, yes.

The pose, the pose is not working.

It's a little bit old.

Okay, go for another one.

Fernando Cruz.

Fernando Cruz sent me this photo, and what

is happening here?

Jorge, what is happening here?

What are the mistakes?

Can you tell me, please?

I think the light is harder in their

skin.

It's too much for me, my opinion.

Yeah, and also, look at this, the focus,

no?

The sharpened, no?

It's too much, no?

Maybe?

It's like a higher step in Photoshop.

I love, I love the high step.

And can you tell me more things that

are not working for you?

I don't know.

The people in the background is a little

bit awkward for me.

I don't know if it's about the lens

Fernando used in that moment, and the composition

is awkward too, because he could, I don't

know why I can say colors.

I don't know.

For me, it's a little bit awkward.

It's the color balance.

What?

If you are saying the color balance?

No, no.

He could.

I don't know.

It's a little bit awkward for me, and

I don't know why.

The contrast is not the best.

Maybe the suit of the groom has the

shadows too high for me.

Yeah.

I don't know what else.

Yeah, I agree.

I agree.

Maybe, I'm not sure, but maybe Fernando didn't

use the flash in the shoot, because the

shadows here are pretty hard, and the light

here is really hard.

When I capture dance photos like this, this

is the first dance, no?

It's very broad.

Always, I want to capture what is happening

in the background with all the people, because

it's not totally important to capture this connection,

okay?

They are totally connected, but it's very important

for me to capture how the people are

connected with the bride and groom, like this,

like the other guy that we can't see,

all these people that we can't see.

So, it's very important not always capturing how

the couple is totally connected, but also with

all these people.

And this is not your fault, okay, Fernando,

but it's full of mess, okay?

Too much for me.

Okay, I'll go with the last one.

Santiago Higuera.

I think he's from South America, because...

Colombia.

What?

Colombia, Victor.

Hello.

Ah, Colombia!

Fernando!

Ah, Santiago, perdona, ¿cómo estás?

Muy bien.

Perfecto.

Okay, can you tell, could you tell us

how you captured, how did you capture this

photo?

Is the first dance, or it's a portrait?

It's a portrait.

It's a portrait, okay.

Yes, I just had a special light, we

have a entrance of light in a room,

and I just decided to take some photo

there.

When I saw this light, I thought I

could take something interesting here, and I underexposed,

and then don't show the background, and that's

all.

Okay, thank you, thank you.

For me, it's okay, but it's a little

bit dark, okay?

I know you expose here, in this part,

okay?

Yes, in the wedding dress, okay?

Yeah, now it's the part, sorry, it's the

part.

But I would like to see this part,

no?

It's very interesting, so maybe, so my idea

could be selecting on this part.

It's only my opinion, okay?

Remember, Santiago, solo es mi opinion, eh?

Well, working with a laptop, sometimes it's very

difficult when you are working with Photoshop.

Yeah, something like this, no?

More powerful, okay?

Something like this one, okay?

I love to see all the neutral, or

the black background, okay?

But I would like to see her face.

Anything else is working, but sometimes it's a

little bit confusing, because if you are not

showing this, okay?

If you look at the original, okay?

Go to original photo.

Yeah, sorry.

Sometimes it's a little bit confusing, and for

me, when I find, when I find things

like this, like, sorry, this square, okay?

In the ground floor, no?

This is very interesting for me, so my

way of working will be working with this

square, and also working a little bit more

with them.

And maybe try to capture something else, like

a face, or his face, or something else,

okay?

Because if not, it's a bit confusing.

Anyone want to say something else, please, guys?

Marnix, Jacobs, Anthony, Jorge, David, Dream Big Studio,

Francesca?

I really love this image.

I think it has a lot of, I

would like, could spend a half an hour

here with a couple.

The light is really good.

Maybe, I think if I look correctly at

the shadow, the light is almost coming straight

above the photographer, right?

Sorry?

No, no, no, nothing, nothing.

Oh, okay.

It might be that if you turn 90

degrees, then the light on the couple could

be a little bit more interesting, because now

it almost is as if there's a flash

from top.

Yeah, yeah, could be, yes.

It's a good idea, Marnix.

Yes, yes, yes.

Okay, Santiago, thank you for sending, okay?

Maybe just one question.

I'm not sure, I understood you, and I

agree, to be honest, but what about this

photo in black and white?

Because with this photo, I'm not

totally sure about the black and white here,

okay?

Because go to check black and white.

This is not the correct way, okay?

Remember, I am working in a really bad

way with Photoshop, okay?

The best way of working about black and

white is not putting here like me, okay?

So, it's using the right room or presets,

okay?

But not like this.

For me, black and white could be okay,

but the thing is that I prefer use

color in this situation, because I love the

color of the ground floor.

I love to see this white, because this

color, I'm talking about the white, white dress,

is working perfectly with this part, okay?

And also, in my way, I would like

to put more contrast here, a little bit

more saturation or something more powerful, okay?

And in black and white, maybe working with

post-production in a really hard way, maybe.

But I prefer color.

It's my opinion, okay?

You're welcome.

Okay, guys.

So, any questions?

No questions?

Okay.

So, if you don't have any questions, this

time, I have a lot of doubts about

which are my favorite photos, okay?

And who is the winner or similar, okay?

But in this case, I propose you something

new.

I will post my five favorite ones, okay?

And you will vote, okay?

And you will vote in public, okay?

So, I will create a new post with

my favorites, and my favorites are this one,

this one, this one.

I have doubts, Anthony.

Not at all.

Of course, of course.

No, no.

Viviana.

Evelyn.

No, Evelyn, no, because it's not working.

No.

Jesus.

I'm sorry, Anthony.

I have to be hard, okay, with you,

because I know you have better portraits, okay?

Sorry, man.

Sorry.

Okay, my favorite ones are these ones.

Three, six, eight.

Oh, too much.

Too many.

Sorry.

So, okay.

We have to clean, no?

We have to edit.

No, no.

You will vote.

You will vote.

You need to vote, because in my opinion,

in my opinion, okay?

No, no, no, no.

I can't say, no.

No, no, no.

I don't have to say which are my

favorite ones, my five favorite ones, because it

is very probable that – no, no, no,

no, no.

Please.

I will create a post with these eight

photos, and you will vote the winner and

the four winners, okay?

The five best photos, okay?

So, remember, the best one will be two

hours talk with me, and the fourth, the

second, the third one, the fourth one, and

the fifth one will be the next month

totally for free, okay?

Or I will send them out.

So, I would like to – oh, sorry.

Yeah.

One second.

Okay.

Okay, guys.

Finish for today.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for being on board.

Thank you for your help.

It's a pleasure for me, okay?

Thank you for being there, and thank you

for your patience for my bad English.

I know I need to improve every time,

but I need to take more weddings for

improving my English.

English weddings is really difficult, okay?

So, we hope you spent a good time
