Hey this is Scott of Photography Banzai.
Today I'm going to be taking some graduation photos with my friend Kaylee.
Uhh, she just recently...
Was it an online degree?
Yeah, yeah.. so I went to school online through University of Arizona.
Um, getting my degree in.. uh.. cyber operations with an emphasis in defense and forensics.
So that's exciting! haha
Quite the name to it!
But, ahh, it's been a long time since I've taken photos of a person so we'll see how
it goes.
But I think it'll work out!
Yeah
Before we get started with the photo shoot I wanted to mention that my third person Gopro
filming setup corrupted its memory card.
We can talk about that in the future, but the photo session started a little bit before
what you will see.
Thankfully my friend had shown up and he was holding my Osmo Action, so we got some good
clips of a lot of the photo session.. but yeah.
Anyways, let's keep going.
Do you mind holding this for a while?
Let's try this pole here... good!
Okay, nice!
Feel free to offer any suggestions for posing and such.
Well you don't want me to do like?
That's up to you.
Let's do the.. let's do it.
Hahahaha
If we had like the laptop in one hand.. and..
Oh, no...
I do actually have my laptop in my car if we..
Okay, we can figure something out.
I'm in!
I still wanna hackerman!
You didn't get the power glove though.
Oh right, if only we had the power glove!
2.7k what the heck?
Yeah, this.. when I have this max lens thing on it does 2.7 only.
So I'm just having them the same.
Wait, wait one more time...
Oh!
The glasses gang.
Yeah.
Oh, you took the glass off because the fog.
Yeah, yeah..
I don't blame you.
Just..
I'm going to try to get a little bit of this.
So you can just stand in this general area.
Look that direction with your face.
There you go!
Now towards me.
Uhh, have your chin down slightly.
It doesn't matter.
I'm just getting some variety here.
The weather is actually look pretty good right now because it's not super bright, I think,
for the photos.
Otherwise I'd have to find shade and such to.. or at least backlight maybe.
We can try this bridge real quick.
Maybe put your stuff over there.
Okay!
I was using two Canon EOS M50 cameras one with the Canon 32mm or f/1.4 another one with
the Sigma 56mm f/1.4, so it got me a little bit of options with framing and such.
I was able to use the two cameras just fully set up.
Two different straps ready to go didn't have to change memory cards, batteries, anything.
Just switch between the two cameras, it works out nicely.
Let's try this bridge real quick.
Here's some green thing!
Okay, yeah let's do green thing...
Okay, you wanna have the hat on?
Should I put the robe back on?
Do.. do the over the shoulder.
Do you want a picture with the photography guy?
Yeah, wait I want to do the Magic the Gathering...
You know the...
Oh okay I do know the... yeah.
Oh, that's good.
One thing to take note of with the Sigma 56 millimeter camera setup.
I somehow hit the touch screen twice or something like that where a lot of the photos towards
the end were set to 1000 iso, which definitely was not intentional.
I had the camera set up in aperture priority just for simplicity.
And it worked okay, but check your camera... you know, consistently to make sure that the
settings are not skewed unintentionally.
All right, let's do one right here where you're in the middle.
That should be good.
Haha, I see your glasses.
like.. yeah..
It's like the anime where they have the reflective...
Or.. or is it like the.. the.. ahh yeah.
Let's.. let's do a standing one here.
Okay, go back a little bit.
Okay, okay here?
A little bit more like.. one..
there you go.
Do you see anything?
Sit down right there and then have the greenhouse in the background.
Sounds good!
So go to that side over there, Kaylee.
This corner?
yeah yeah
So we're gonna have a straight shot.
So a little bit more, like a few feet.
Right there it's good, perfect.
Lower shot I would say, like right here.
Let's go!
Try a really cheesy pose!
Say what.. sit up right with your back straight with your hat in your arms, just clutch like
this... and look up... like you're dreaming for your future.
Yeah, just like like look up that way.
Yeah, and then he could take the picture.
Yeahh, upper body.
Oh, you want upper body?
Yeah, so go up get a lower angle and shoot higher up.
Yeaaah, and more of the greenhouse.
What do you mean more of it the greenhouse?
The greenhouse represents her future.
it's growing...
It's gonna be blurred.
I was like I was like...
haha
Why not, you know?
Do the same.. do the look over there.
There you go.
She's hopeful man, look at that!
Have your face a little more this direction, There you go.
Yeah!
Uhh, we can do that, yeah.
Do the jumping heels.
Jump..
Oh hellno.
Jump and toss!
You'll be like the ending of your own anime, and started the next season.
What are you doing?
I'm getting that stalker creeper point of view.
That's up to you, what photos do you want?
(I'm gonna throw it in the air)
Alright, let's do it.
Are you..
throwing it upwards or?
Yeah... like this.
Okay, hold on.
Are you actually gonna throw it up?
All right...
We'll have to try it again...
Wow!
(I like how it flops on the ground)
Haha
If you include this part...
That one's okay.
Title it stalker POV!
Yeah
What?
Title this part stalker POV... when I'm in the bushes.
Oh, yeah that is...
Haha ha haha ha
Nice... nice angle
Hear some rustling...
hahaha
Scott goes... what's that?
ha haha
Don't worry, it's just the other Scott.
What are you doing?
I think that one's fine.
Yeah, I think that one's great.
Yeah
There's a whole bunch of them, but oh.. you can't see.
Try.. try..
Vertical?
Vertical!
We could..
Is it damaged?
No.
A little bit...
You got to get down to the ground Waldron do a vertical jump.
We need a 200 millimeter lens.
No, we need a 400 millimeter lens.
Yeah!
I don't know...
She needs to be in a race car.
ha haha
Maybe a motorcycle!
Fire in the background?
Yeah!
There you go.
Blazing wheels man.
All right.
That's it for this photo shoot video.
Hopefully you got some interesting tips or entertainment out of it.
I think the photo shoot itself turned out okay.
The photos she seemed to like them, so that's always good and uhh definitely wanted to try
to help her out and under the current situation.
Which is pretty challenging to make work, but I think we did.
Anyways, I'm Scott of Photography Banzai.
See ya!
