Portrait Breakdown #1 - Tips for better portraits

I am curious about what type of focus point are you using and the settings for the focus? For Example, I had a situation where I have two subjects in a car, I shoot through one of the side windows trying to catch both in focus, I think at f8 maybe, but still, I couldn't do that, and after being at home and seeing this as a mistake... oh damn.... I felt so miserable and unlucky...

Do you shoot in raw and what’s your settings on camera for portrait

Really amazing, please i want more

I just watched a wesctcott ad with Eli Infante before watching an Eli Infante video and thought I already was watching the video I wanted to see.

Felt like I was with you during the shoot🥰
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge sir.

Enjoy the way you present your view and walk through the aspects of setting up the shoot.

Small clamps or clamp type clothes pins.

Hello,, i only have speedlights,., is it strong enough to get this kind of shots?

Great video thanks

I'm learning something new each time I see your videos. Gracias

Just took you up on Skillshare! I've been putting it off for months and thought I'd give it a go.

Honestly, your work is spectacular and you are such an inspiration. Thank you for the fantastic content!

My girlfriend is a fashion stylist and does on almost all my shoots and she always has her "kit" with her which always has a lint roller, safety pins, glues and any sprays that may be needed in case because if we can't have a fitting before the shoot and things are slightly bigger, we can always pin them up or back in case this happens. Yes, always be prepared in case so you always have something to make it through. I live in North Texas an hour from Dallas and most of our shoots are in Dallas, so we have to make sure to always bring extra everything just in case because most models we work with end up being a tad smaller than the measurements they give us.

Invest in clips also for baggy clothes

Amazing as always!! In your actions/brushes kit below do you have videos how to use them?

Such an incredible video man!

Love your vids Eli!

You should look into small A clamps. Won't put holes in the clothes like the pins do. Plus, they work for backgrounds, etc.

I really enjoyed your sharing your thoughts in setting up these shots. Would have been nice for you to quickly add your settings.

Amazing video! i enjoyed a lot....

Hi from Corpus. How do you prep locations like this from snakes and pests. Some of my subjects are nervous when I ask them to get into a field or grass.

Thank u Sri

great shot under pressure

I happened to accidentally find your page I'm glad I did. Do you focus on the background for exposure?

Everyone learn about photography from him like me 🥰

You are really awesome.This has changed my photography.Always share please

aloha brah., dope videos man. ilove your work. fan from hawaii here.
just wondering. do you pay these models ? how do you get income from doing this ??
thanks brotha. alohassss

I love your work! :) what do you recommend for basic flash setup for hobby users only not for business? affordable and reasonable price for sony a7iii user. do you recommend GODOX TT350S with softbox or Godox LED Video Light SL-60W 5600K for home use only? :)


Also, what do you recommend for outdoor flash portable and affordable, and what size of softbox do you recommend for dramatic shot 60cm or 90cm octagon or rectangle softbox? can I achieve that kind of shot using a small flash only like the TT350S or I need bigger flash like the Godox AD200Pro? thank you! :)

This was an awesome video.. All props, lighting, shooting, posing and ideas my favourite is when you shared your shots to the model and understand her pov..

Love the knowledge that you are sharing from your photoshoot. And love the fact that you posted all the pictures in RAW then one final edited one so we have a nice understanding of the post production and a good comparison for us to see. Love your channel Eli. You are such an open-book to learn. Thank you.
