How Wedding Photographer Sam Hurd Handles BAD LIGHT

That’s an endangered flower😂

he just creatively genius...th prism shots we're amazing💥💥

so long story short if the lightings not good get in a spot where the lighting is good, got it

which slingbag sam is using? thx.

Hi, might have missed it ,but where did you get the camera bag backpack thingy?

Sams skills are just insane !

I literally learn so much from him everytime. He changed my photography forever.

It's lit like that in Hawaii all the time. Get over it.

he asking : are you comfotable with sitting
her : yeah i m cool with sitting on a hot plate :)

Tip: when you try to position your models on the border of the shade, but like a few centimeters from this border, ask them to look at their shadows and move back until they disappear.
Also when you want your model to have the sun directly in their back, ask them to turn their nose in the direction created by their shadow.
Simple, foolproof methods, you explain it once, then you just ask to "disappear your shadow" or for "nose to to shadow" and it's done :)

Pretty easy to handle bad light when you can direct your subjects. Would love to see how that Sam Hurd guy handles bad light during ceremonies, where half of the people are in direct sunlight and the couple is in the shade.

I want to get this piece of glass, I don't know its name, what is it called??

Sam really seems like a nice guy

ha ha love it, bad light, bad wind...can't wait to see what comes out of it!

so my question is if she/her is not beautiful, how do you handle this situation?

I enjoyed this! loved the comment where he said "If i'm not saying anything, assume that you're doing what I want you to do." I had trouble explaining that to people before or I usually explain it later in the shoot. Doing this straight off the bat will put them at ease.

Such a great tutorial! And that prism photo with the hedge backdrop is incredible!! Lots of great lessons here though, love how you incorporated hands, tattoo, flowers, etc. 🙌🔥

this is gold
niceee

Link to the prism pls!

Great Video!!

Great photographer.

love the cap!

Danke!

awesome video! Question - are lens hoods not needed? Especially when shooting in areas with harsh sunlight?

LMAO listening to sam hurd is hilarious because thats exactly what i sound like when giving directions, maybe... yea yeayea that, thats beautiful, maybe with your hands, good good good. LMAO dying

Sam is so inspirational!!

"I almost never have a plan" :-)

Thanks for the sharing, Taylor and thanks to Sam Hurd for all the teaching and tips... great video!!!

can you tell me what kind of lens use on eos r3? specially when to do close up?

I’m a Maui local and I saw this advertised but was honestly skeptical, but now I’m really regretting not signing up. Please make another one next year!!!

No such thing as bad light unless there's no light.

I'm a new subscriber and damn....it feels like I should be paying for a lot of your content. Incredibly useful information that doesn't feel like a rehash of the same topics other channels churn out ad infinitum. Sam got some fantastic shots. Great stuff.

Hawaii has some interesting challenges for photography!

I really like listening to Sam speak and the way he teaches. Please come to the Netherlands 💛

When you ever feel a little flat and tired of photography Sam Hurd is the man to get you excited all over again

AWESOME! thank Sam for teaching. Thanks Taylor for recording and sharing ! Saved this for later 😅 to watch it over and over again ❤

Bad Light and windy day OMG that was stressful to watch, thanks Taylor!!

That ain't sam hurd. Thats Adam lazarra lol

Sam Hurd is him

Love this lens, i have the sigma trio of f1.4 lenses and the 18 to 50 f2.8 i have no native lens at the moment. Use it with the XT2 and XT3 for portrait shoots and wedding photos and videos, i love the price quality ratio you get with the sigma lenses. The 18-50 is an awesome video lens, slap a variable ND filter on wnd your good till it is dark, then switch to the 1.4 primes

I can't count how many times I said, "God, this guy is so GOOD!" This was great, thanks for sharing this Taylor!

Soooo wondeful, sooo niceee.Alot of tips !! Thanks alot! Can Sam shoot Nikon next time ? :)) Have a nice day Taylor!

Here we have it, the best photographer

What a goldmine!
