BUDGET Photography Gear SHOOTOUT | ft. Roberto Valenzuela | Ep 19
Hey there, fellow photography enthusiasts! Welcome to an exciting episode of the Budget Photography Gear Shootout! I'm your host, [Your Name], and today we're diving into the world of creativity and skill with the incredible Roberto Valenzuela by my side. Together, we're challenging the notion that it's all about the camera, not the photographer, as we take on the challenge of shooting with entry-level and outdated gear.
Behind the Scenes at WPBI
We're currently at WPBI, soaking up the vibrant atmosphere at the Canon booth. Canon never disappoints with their booths, offering us a fantastic backdrop for our photography experiments. We've got some unconventional continuous lights, not exactly budget-friendly, but hey, it's all part of the adventure.
And the star of the show? The Canon R8 with its kit lens, the 24-250. Neither Roberto nor I have much experience with this camera, making it even more interesting. As we fumble with the settings, you're in for a treat as we capture the magic of the moment.
The Rules of Engagement
Before we jump into the action, let me break down the rules for you. Each photographer gets to shoot to their heart's content. Afterward, we'll dive into the editing process and pick our favorite shots. But here's the twist – you get to be the judge! Drop your votes in the comments for your preferred images.
The Shoot Begins
As we gear up for the shoot, our gorgeous model takes center stage. The atmosphere is charged with excitement and a touch of nervousness as we navigate through unfamiliar settings. But hey, that's the beauty of this challenge.
Roberto takes the first shot, playing with lights, shadows, and a touch of mystery. The Nanite Forza 60B makes a cameo, adding a dynamic element to the shoot. The camera settings are like a foreign language to us, but that doesn't stop the creative process.
Playing with Shadows and Textures
I step up to the plate, ready to steal all of Roberto's ideas (or at least attempt to). Gels come into play, creating a vibrant atmosphere. We experiment with backlights, unconventional angles, and even try out a lens that may or may not cooperate. The goal? To capture unique and stunning shots, all while pushing the limits of our budget gear.
Unveiling the Results
After the dust settles and the shutters click, we head into the editing room to fine-tune our masterpieces. Stay tuned as we reveal our top two favorite shots and invite you to cast your vote in the comments.
