"Most people are probably doing it already, but they just dont know why they are doing it" love this Manny.. so accurate.. Most of us already have the instinct but hearing it being called out and WHY it makes sense is totally rewarding.. Well done articulating this Manny... Top class brother

Thank you for the continued amazing lessons you've been providing on YouTube Manny! You & Diana are honestly the most beautiful couple on the internet, love from the UK!

This really depends, even with regular people. I shoot wide with a low angle for wedding shoots all the time. What's important is to know the effect that different angles and focal lengths have so you don't distort your subjects or give them a look that you didn't intend. For example, shooting wide angle from down low will give a completely different look between, say, placing a heavier subject very close to the camera at the edge of the frame and having a tall, slim subject in the middle of the frame at a medium distance. The first is unflattering and distorting, the second can be a very cool environmental "hero shot". For wedding couples, the shot from down low at a wider angle can emphasize a big, beautiful skirt while also making the arms and neck look smaller and showing the potentially very nice surroundings. But yeah, don't do that with a heavy person wearing tight pants in a parking lot...

I was finding this video for long time on how to take a vertical shot to look the way the person is for my portrait work and I got it
Thank you Bro

[JoaquimGonsalves]

Honestly I'm really glad you made this video. It's good to break down why something looks good. We're know the basics this way and then of course we can break them however we choose.

If Manny taught a class or a few classes, I would never miss one ever!!!

[jarredmaynard]

Wow, now I know some of the mistakes I’ve been making and how to correct them! I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working. Thank you!
