In this video, you will learn the best camera settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed) to use in your portrait photography. Get the FREE Portrait Photographer's Ultimate Resource Guide here bitly.com/bullman-portrait-guide Some general tips: 1) open the aperture as wide as you can to get a pleasing bokeh effect or blurry background 2) Use a shutter speed of 1/50 second or faster. Anything slower will likely lead to a blurry photo, especially if your model moves. 3) Keep your ISO as low as possible to reduce noise/grain in your image. 4) Shoot in manual mode to gain the most control of your exposure. Here are some settings I typically shoot with: NATURAL LIGHT - DAYTIME (SUNNY) f/1.8 - f/4 ISO 100 Shutter Speed 1/4000 NATURAL LIGHT - DAY TIME (CLOUDY) f/1.8 ISO 100 Shutter Speed 1/100 - 1/1000 GOLDEN HOUR f/1.8 ISO 100-400 Shutter 1/100-1/1000 NIGHT TIME (with no flash) f/1.8 ISO 800-1200 Shutter 1/50 I shot this video a few months ago and was unable to locate my usually outro segment where I say "Peaaaacccceeee". Can't remember the last time I didn't have that in a video so it really bums me out :( So free me to you: "We'll see you soon folks. This has been another episode of Dan Bullman Photography.
