35mm Composition Tips For Portraits 

This man giving free knowledge to us all. Bless Tommy!

As someone who felt they were near mastering shooting with a 35mm fov, this video dropped a ton of new knowledge on me! Genuinely, one of the best photography videos I have ever found on RU-vid, thank you!

I don't know which part of this contribution is more interesting. The technical knowledge he shares or the beauty of his pictures. And I learned a new one - the Dutch Angle - according to Google - a camera technique used by the German Expressionists in the 1920 - ironically called Dutch. Thank you!

First yt photographer who talk more about harmony of elements rather then ps or editing ......... priceless

This is like a free masterclass! Thank you for this, your work is amazing!

Best tips ever given. I like how you explained your compositions in details. I found 35mm focal length very challenging to shoot portraits. But your works inspire me to shoot more 35mm and be more intentional about compositions.

Thanks so much! I watched your video in a super loud coffee place with no sound practically and still it was very clear and helpful! Thank you for your work 🙏🏻

I loved your first video on the 35mm lens so I was ecstatic to see you back. Thank you for making this. I go back to that first one all the time, both for learning and for inspiration.

The man is back!!! Stoked to see a new Tommy Kuo vid

Love these tutorials, you're a skilled and thoughtful photographer.

Such absolutely incredible shots used in the demonstrations

A lot of thanks for making and sharing your video!!

I recently got my hands on the original 35 mm L 1.4 and am loving this lens!!!! Please post more content of how you would use this like on maternity shoots, couple shoots, mock wedding, models, etc. Thanks & keep crushing it!

Great video! A lot of knowledge dropped through the analysis of your photos, good work Tommy. Welcome back man, hoping for more frequent uploads! 👊🔥

Awesome tips and analysis as always man! Also loving the lighting setup for your video, killing it.

immediately added to my watch later when I saw the notification because i knew it would be straight fire. didnt disappoint! awesome

Absolutely great! Stunning photos! I am trying to decide which prime to buy to substitute my current zoom lens for my Fujifilm XT-4. I want a lens for everything from landscapes (which is my focus) to street and portraits. Seeing this makes me lean towards a 23mm (35 mm equivalent). Thank you for the inspiration! :)

just starting out and 35mm is my choice of my lens as well! great tips as always

Enjoy these photos and tips very much

Thanks for the helpful tips Tommy!!

So pleased to see you back !

Very good advice, thank you.

Your rock! Thanks for the tips

this video is great tommy! I learned alot haha

I decided to get 35mm because of u, man !! so excited :)

Thank you!

Hey man just found your channel and it's been a lifesaver with understanding how to work with models. I had a question though: how do you guide them on outfit choices? Do they get this from the mood board and bring their own outfits, do you give general ideas, etc? I have a friend who is going to try and help me and asked what she should wear, which got me thinking. Great channel, hope to see more and more.

Great stuff, both in terms of contents and presentation!

This was very good! thnx

He’s back! Looking forward to the next one Tommy!

I needed that 👌👌👌📸

Super helpful dude. Appreciate you sharing all the knowledge for free

TOMMY DOING IT !!!

He’s Back!!

Aweeeeesoooomeeeee thanks dude.

Awesome content brother.

Awesome video and incredible shots! Which camera did you use to capture them?✨

You're pretty good at dissecting your photos..... it's rather interesting 👌. Thanks for sharing 💕

Thanks ❤ Sir

Lets goooo new video !!!

such a good video, so underrated

Wow nice composition feeling you have

Would love a color grading tutorial next!

Back and ready to attack! Great video Tommy!

I bought my first prime lens a 23mm (35mm equivalent) for my camera, just to imitate the feel of fuji x100v.. I also plan to master this focal length before I bought another lens.. My only concern for this lens is the Portrait shot, thanks for this video I have now a starting point to practice.

200tth like for you! yeah that other video was excellent. made with switch out my 85mm to the 35 for tomorrow's shoot.

love your glasses! what is the brand of it? let me know

I was about to sell my Samyang XP 35mm F1.2 till I watched this. I'm now excited to go out and use it.

It would be interesting to see what aperture those shots were at.

IDol your Good Bro!💯👍👏👊

The Dutch angle? I'm Dutch but I never heard to that :) besides my 18-55 kitlens, I just bought a 35mm 1.8 lens for my Nikon D3500. I'm really enjoying your 35mm content.

nice tips brother ! new subscriber here ;-)

When shooting you shoot slightly under exposed then fix up the picture in editing? Or you you try to keep the exposure at neutral as possible on the cameras sensor?

Very good tips...thank you.dis you use any soft focus filters for your portraits in this shòot

Make a video on your food photography 🙏🏼

Which camera have you used for this ?

Such a handsome fella!

Can U tell please, are you cropping some of your photos from this video , or they all full sized ? 🙏

Sorry for my noob question but all these photos the subject is in the center. So does that mean the 1/3 rule does not apply with the 35mm in portrait?

Great video, and some lovely shots 🙌🔥

Wow, I'm so glad I found your channel. So informative and your photography work is stunning.... I would love to create photos like you do. I bought a SIGMA 16mm a month ago in the intent of breaking away from my Canon M50 kit lens for vlogs and also taking pictures...... and I know in your previous video you recommended spending a great deal of time with your lens.... however, I would love to experiment more with photography and I keep wondering if I should purchase 35mm as well or the 50mm. (Obviously, you love the 35mm, but I was wondering if it's wise for me to buy another wide lens 😅) I'm still new to photography... if you ever have time... I would love your opinion for a beginner in photography who already has a 16mm but wants to venture out one more time to get a new lens in the future.

How did you learn about composition that way? Any books which you can recommend?

Are these shot at 1.4 or 1.8?

Hi, do you have any interest in the collaboration of wireless video transmission system?

I loved your photos except for the dutch angle, not because of the angle itself, but because you cut her hands by the cuffs giving the sensation of not having hands... Otherwise, I love it! Thank you for your vídeos!

The first photo would look better vertically

Headshots with a 35mm? How are you avoiding distortion of her features?

is this 35mm canon? sigma?

could you make a video on composition tips on a 50mm? :)

did you shoot this video with a 35mm?
