0:47 That "de-focus" trick for checking the background! So obvious but news to me! Thank you!

you walking around one handed without a camera strap is getting me sweaty, love the trust in yourself

This man really just gave us a foolproof way to guarantee improvement on this craft we all practice. Bless up! 📸🙏

As someone who is transitioning from a run and gun style of street to more portrait oriented stuff, your videos are so helpful man. I like how you break everything down and actually narrate your videos and thought processes while you’re going through compositions. The think out loud style is so insightful. All around great stuff my guy thanks for your contribution to the creative space. And of course all the photos are dope. Much love from Pittsburgh

I don't know if you here this much but after watching many of your videos for the last 3 years or so, you guys have a healthy wonderful relationship and that is amazing and rare. Most often most couples have a lot of jealousy and insecurities which cause conflict when it is not even worth it over the bigger picture (no pun intended).

Manny if no one else tells you bro the consistency and tips you give are priceless my guy keep it up bro much love to you and your fam!!!

This is why I like your videos. Other photographers at your level would’ve put this video together and explained it like it was all planned and technical.

Dude! I freaking LOVE the "focus on the ground" trick to view the background out of focus for composition ideas! Brilliant! I am definitely going to start incorporating that into my shoot flow! Thanks!

[GLAMISSH]

Your videos are the best, soo informative! 😍 And real examples, not just talk behind the microphone and text. Luv it! Thank you!

Diana acts so innocent sometimes, but we know she's savage 😂😂😂

This was the best video I've ever seen when it comes to a really great process on how you can just walk into an area and figure out what you're doing. I never thought of these things. Thank you.

I swear I’ve learned so much from you man, my goal this year is turn the hobby into a lil side business and you have helped me so much with these tips. Keep it up man! Eres el mas duro de YouTube en fotografia!

Manny, I freaking love that you don’t use a lens hood. I’ve been debating to stop carrying them on my bigger lenses. I feel like they rob me of my joy in shooting. I’m happiest when I shoot without them. So many photographers say it’s a must, but I noticed you don’t use it a lot of times and you get the most amazing shots. I’m going to give not carrying them all the time a shot and see how it goes. You’re me hero for so many reasons 🥰🙏🏽

What an appropriate walk around combination! 85mm1.4 and the 35mmf2.8... these two lenses stay on my two full frame SONY bodies!!

Looking out for backlighting from a city building is sooo smart!!!

[wcshelton]

that de-focus thing was freaking genius.

Between Manny's voice and Diana's modeling, I can't decide why I love these videos. #ChicagoGang #HollisterPoloGang
