Manny, I have watched your growth as a photographer and business manager. You' ve come a long way, and I am proud of you As a so-called introvert, you've achieved a lot, because you set your mind to do it. Now, show me more of KAYLA. THANKS!!!

"One day you feel like a lighting God, the next you feel like an imposter". Nailed it, brother! No truer word was ever spoken.

Studio is always harder to create unique stills or videos. Cityscapes offers so much to play with I raise my hat for doing these super creative photos inside.

LOVE HOW CASUAL AND REAL YOU ARE IN YOUR VIDEOS. SUPER FRESH AND SHOWS THAT YOU'RE HONEST AND KNOW YOUR SH** WELL AND DON'T NEED TO PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE YOU'RE NOT. BIG THANKS AND ALL THE BEST

I know ppl shooting great studio photos in their garage or living room with APS or m43 cameras and 1 lens. + 1 or 2 cheap flashes.

But it's always nice to have such a big space and tons of modifiers to choose from.

Nice photos Manny, lately this channel is not recommended to my by YT, so I guess I missed a lot on your studio work.

[hasenmyer]

this is probably one of my favorite videos that you have done in awhile..what a great look inside. Also your modifier is absolutely fantastic. You can actually feel that is a premium product and will last vs other modifiers. Two things maybe for mark 2..a zipper so you can grab the inside when mounting to the light and a wrap around holder for storage. Other than that perfect.

You're a phenomenal photographer, Manny, and I can identify your work instantly... Which is the mark of a super talented creative person with real vision.

I totally relate to the imposter syndrome. No matter how many people praise me for being good at what I do... It's a daily battle to believe it, believe in myself or give myself any credit. I'm SO jealous of those people who have delusional levels of self-confidence!

I watch your stuff all the time and really enjoy your content but this is my favorite video so far because the passion and insight to your journey is so inspiring! Im an aspiring photographer in my 50s. I have a great, successful small business that I love but the creative side of me wants photography to play a major role for my next 30 years! So thanks for doing what you do, I hope to one day have my own studio and wake up each day ready to challenge my creativity thru images! Keep up the amazing work Manny, you are one of a kind! Jb

It’s ironic because I live in Fort Lauderdale/Miami. From May until November due to the humidity shooting outdoors isn’t favorable. I have my own studio (luckily) and shooting indoors - you are correct Manny. It will humble you, I’ve come to learn your creativity in studio either becomes a strength or you realize you will need to conjure up creativity. Having a legit original idea is a skill.

Man, seeing those clips at the beginning brings back so many memories of the earlier days of your channel.

[ChemaPhoto]

Congrats on all you have achieved! Following you since really long time. IMHO I had at my previous studio an infinity wall... The maintenance was a nightmare and takes so much space. Now instead of paper we use mate vinyl 3x6meters. Super happy you can clean them!!! Hope it works.

[almirgomes]

you is one of my inspirations, despite my age (52yo), still passionate about photography and trying to be a pro, even in a particular context of dificulties (Brasil!!!).
This is my dream, to become a pro and earn money to live my life doing what I love.

[MiguelQuilesJr]

Amen to all of this! Keep on sharing and documenting your journey, your audience is here with you!

[davidlouw]

I want to thank you for your lessons, I'm bi-polar2 so completely understand comfort zones and how hard it is to get out, there's no comprehensible reason, it just is but you are doing great, I'm happy for you.

He’s not lying, his branded beauty dish is definitely built tough and is by far my favorite for headshots and portraits.

[DayvidDavis]

My favorite setup is a studio with natural lighting on a gloomy day. It’s something magical.

[sfphoto]

The ease of shooting outdoors is so much more relaxed and simple than studio shooting. So glad you touched on the lighting because that is the major reason why I am so much more inclined to shoot outside of the studio, and I moved from Chicago to the west coast happily for that reason! Still working on the studio lighting, but your videos help more than you'd believe so thanks for the honesty and truthful videos and of course the gems💎💎. Keep it up!
