Your results are stunning! The gradual fall off on your close ups is what I’m after but when I get that close with my 50mm and 135mm, they distort the face. When I back off, the 135 gains that cut-out look, but at the expense of a gradual fall off. When I back off with my 50, the bokeh is diminished. I want an 85 f/1.2 now.
Hello Salbador, thank you for your comment. You can get in touch with me via Instagram @bidunportraits for more info about photography mentoring that I do.
So enjoyable to watch! I will be taking photos this weekend with a mom, dad and three children. Won’t be shooting at 1.2….still get messed up where to focus. You have it nailed!

Great video Sergey. I have a question if you don't mind, how did you managed the depth of field at such wide aperture for a group photo. whenever i try this one or the other person goes out of focus. Thanks
The secrets could be multi faces are getting closer and parallel to camera. However, on F1.2, I just worry individual faces are not in perfect focus if look at zoom in.
Great job Sergey. Are they your family? I don't think the youngest girl was feeling it that day. I asked you in the last video but do you use any photoshop actions for your warmth or do you just warm them up in Camera RAW?
Thank you, yes it's my cousin and his family :) I only use Dodge and burn and frequency separation actions, and the rest of editing I do manually. You can see my whole workflow in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3ipJy6-1YZo.html
Thank you so much! yes I have a couple editing videos on my channel, here's one of them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0DXQQt_4dPg.html
I do my best during photoshoots to minimize any retouching during post-processing by choosing the correct spots locations, educating on outfits my clients, and other details. Some images take only 1min some take 30 min, so it depends on each image. Here is my work flow Video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3ipJy6-1YZo.html
