You are the most honest and down to earth 🌍 photography. I like to watch other photographers , they but never talk about the realistic things ,how hard it is when starting. You have teached me a lot, and show how you don’t need a lot to get to the next level. 🥰thank you for sharing with us and helping out, and inspiring us.
Love this, Laura. So inspirational. I'm returning to photography after many years. Back in the day, I used to shoot myself a lot. One day, with a friend, I went into a really cool clothes shop that sold these really cool suites. I asked if I could try on a few, and if my friend could take photos. I told the gentleman, it was for a wedding reception and I need to show the party the photos because they too would need suits too. He said, sure. So, we had a good hour changing jackets, jumping around like fools, taking all these really cool photos. For the next few weeks I was buried in Photoshop creating some fantastic images. Good times, I must try that again hahaha. Love your videos. Thanks, Laura.
I am in love with your videos! They were suggested to me by RU-vid a while ago and I don’t regret a second that I watched. You even got me inspired to start selling my photos as stock images (I am an amateur and I don’t even own a camera (yet)) and I got accepted at iStock today! So, I am happy and grateful that I found your videos.
Hi Anna! Thank you so much for such meaningful words! 😍 So glad you found my channel. It makes me super happy to know that my videos inspire you and you even started in stock photography! 💪🏼 So nice to have you around here. Thanks a lot for watching and I hope you keep enjoying my videos! 😊❤️
Thank you so much Thomas! 🥺❤️ I hope you enjoy my channel! So nice to have you around here. I’m glad to hear that my Spanish accent is well received. 😅 Big hug from London! :)
I'm so happy I found you! I finally took a self portrait and posted it Instagram after watching your video. I'm still a beginner and you inspired me✨️ thank you!!!
I'm new here 💜 but I love the advice. I'm trying to think of more ways to, experiment with myself and photography. ( I'm ugly) so I'm never satisfied. Thank you!
Thank you so much Wise! 🙏🏼 So glad you liked this video. These are my roots as a photographer and how I grew on knowledge and creativity. And I thought it would be helpful to share it! 😊
Just found this channel and binged watched a bunch of videos over the last few hours. Love the personality and content is super helpful and inspirational. ❤️
Thank you for your tips! Just few days ago I took self portraits in my backyard, and tried different spots in my yard, near trees, near wooden fence and so on, some were very good, some turned out not good, and it is truly helpful, because I made some mistakes and I saw them right away, and tried to fix them, by moving myself to other spots, or changing pose
You're very welcome! So nice to know that you were doing some self portraits. It's great to learn right? Practising we get to find out about our mistakes and how we can improve them. 😍📸
"When I started I didn't have people around with the same passion as me " that was my situation when I started photography and the only thing I had to photograph was me and only had my phone. I took a lot of self portraits and editing them is how l learnt how to use lightroom mobile. It never occurred to me that I could create a body of work based on self portraits. Off to work will be back when it's ready.
Thank you so much Paul! I really need to do more photoshoots as creative as the one with the white paint! 😍 This time making a behind the scenes for my channel. 😄 And I LOVE the community! So happy to have you there. 😊❤️
The video I have been waiting for!! Yes! I really should do more self portraits, I have only worked with close friends as models so far so getting the extra reps in with me being the model and working on poses etc is absolutely something I need to make time for! Thank you as always! Ryan :)
Ryan! 😍 Yes! Doing self-portraits is such a way to get creative and experiment with techniques, poses, lighting, props… Practising it will allow you to be more knowledgeable about many things you may not have thought before. I’m glad you liked the video! 😊❤️🙏🏼
Very impressive love it your channel I’m a beginner photographer it’s help me a lot, thank you very much, I appreciate it much… watching all your videos now
Thank YOU! ❤️ For your support and for being here for long time ago. It makes me very happy to know that you like my videos and you keep watching them every week. 🙏🏼📸
I can't wait to go full time into my photography. Right now I only have my iPhone and Canon T1i (500d) I love your videos and I am getting more inspired by you everyday. Definitively need to try to upgrade my camera.
Briaaaan! Thank you so much! It makes me super happy to know that you enjoy my videos and they inspire you. 😍 Keep shooting with what you have till you can upgrade. You'll find that if you get better with average gear, you'll be amazing when you upgrade! ❤️
Verdad?? Mucha gente no piensa en ello. Piensan que es solo para posar, postear fotos en social media etc. Pero en realidad, hacerse autorretratos es también una manera increíble de aprender y experimentar! 😍 Me alegro un montón de que te haya gustado el video! 😊
Really great video once again, Laura! I have always been interested in self portrait but never really tried. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks again.
Thank you so much Bastien! 😍 I'm glad you liked it. And definitely! It's hard to start but once you do, you'll get the hook of it. You'll learn a lot by experimenting and you can try anything you want without the fear of messing up. Nobody is watching so... 😄 I love taking self-portraits!
I’m glad you liked it! It really works for me. I always try things with myself first. That way I know exactly how I want things to work the day after. 😊
I love your videos, found you on Vero. I am wanting to download my images on adobe stock but I don't know how to import my photos to the resolution of 4MP - 100MP and the maximum file size 45MB. I did download the requirement page, but it does not explain how to get a higher resolution. Hope you can help me in how to enlarge my photos . Thank you so much 📸
Thank you for all of the time you take to share your knowledge! Always great and helpful information and you are a great personality on video! Love it!
You're very welcome! Thank YOU for such a meaningful comment! ❤️ It really means a lot... And it motivates me even more to keep creating weekly videos! 😍 I still struggle from time to time on camera. But getting better so I'm very happy to read this. 😄
Thank you Erin! ❤️ This is so good to know as sometimes I'm not sure if I can transmit what I feel through the camera. 😊 I hope you enjoyed the video! :)
Laura, me gusta mucho tus videos y tu energia. ¡Me encanta tu acento! Soy de los estados unidos y el Ingles es mi madre lingua. Vivia en España por 16 meses y por eso, apredi el Español. Soy un fotografo y tambien hago video. Trabajo por mi los ultimos dos anos desde el retiro. Me encanta fotografia. Estoy agradecida que encontrada tu canal. ¡Sigue fuerte! Lo siento por mi Español. Pudia haberlo escrito en Ingles, pero quisiera espresarme en Español. ¡Abrazos grandes siempre!
Holaaaa! Muchas gracias por este mensaje! 😍 Me alegro un montón de que te gusten mis videos. Que bien que tu también hagas fotografía y video. Mis dos pasiones! 🥰 Te mando un abrazo enorme. Me alegro un montón de que estés por aquí. Tu español está bien! :) Y te agradezco mucho tus palabras. ❤️
I love your photos. would you be able to explain how you do the photo where you have a few copies of the subject but only one is sharp and the rest is less visible? I just love it. Thanks for all your art.
Incredible pictures, especially the earlier ones you took with limited equipment. Shows how creative you are. Any chance you could use an assistant? I'd love to learn/help with your projects. I live in London btw 😁
Hola! Thank you so much! So nice to know that you like my work. 😊 I don't need any assistant for now but if I do, I'll make sure I take your offer into count! 😊 Thank you so much for offering your help. ❤️
If I tried to somehow monetize self portraiture, I would kill my career instantly! 😅😂 I'm not exactly the most pleasing person to look at. You would never be able to tell that I'm deep into fashion and beauty industry. 😁 Wish I found these videos when I was starting out! 😉
Hola! It depends as I have different makeup foundations and eye-shadows. But I use a lot powders from Guerlain to reduce shiny areas of my face. For eye-shadows I use a lot “Too Faced”, and “Urban Decay” but ALWAYS using a primer (from Mac or Urban Decay). The primer really helps to keep the eye-shadows and eye liner intact for hours. 😊
@@LauraBC have been experimenting a lot on myself recently and I do love it. And you're right when you say that it gives you the inspiration to do a better work with clients. Love your videos cause they're full of great sparks. ❤ wish you always the best with your RU-vid career which is doing amazingly good.
Laura, muy buen video e inspirador también. Me siento identificado con tus inicios ya que me gusta la fotografía, considero que hago buenas fotos, pero solo hago sesiones a amigos y familiares y no he dado el paso para dedicarme a ello comercialmente, aunque sea tiempo parcial. A ver si sigo tu ejemplo ;)
Muchas gracias Fabio! Me alegro un montón de que te haya gustado el video y te sientas identificado. Todos empezamos a tiempo parcial asi que mucho ánimo! 😍 Un abrazo gigante!
Yeah exactly. No need to even post the photos. It would be just to experiment and try new things. I love doing it before I try any new idea with my clients! 😊
Maybe you’re not aware but you have subtitles if you feel you need them. And you also have the option of slowing down the speed of the video. Unfortunately I speak fast and it’s hard for me to change that. I keep trying though. 😊
@@thedoonvibes29 You have English subtitles if you need. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about it. In London nobody has problems to understand as we all have accents from different countries so we’re used to it. Sorry. 🤦🏻♀️🙏🏼
You're welcome! ❤️ Glad you enjoyed this video! I still have to catch up with many messages on Instagram. 😅 But I'll get there. Thanks for letting me know! 🙏🏼
