edithjmodel-ographer asked: SO GOOD
Anonymous asked: which ones were taken with the nex? just so i can have an idea of what this camera can do :)
Anonymous asked: Kesler, big fan, I've written a few times as a fellow Nex-7 user. Like the shot of you taking a shot, which brought up a question - what kind of camera bag are you using for the Nex? Other than the leather case, there doesn't seem to be one out there specifically made for it. Maybe I'm odd for wanting the best place to keep my baby, but that's just how it is... :)
Anonymous asked: why did you by a 5dm3 if you use sony? are you thinking of selling it then?
Anonymous asked: You seem to have absolutely no fear of shadows. Areas like the eyes, where other photographers tend to aim lots of light to be sure to accentuate the "catchlights", you many times leave in darkness.... Do you ever use reflectors or fill flash at all? Or do you say "damn it all, there are shadows in life!"?
Anonymous asked: I see that you have decided to use a mirrorless Nex 7 as your main camera. In what situations do you prefer the mirrorless over a full frame dslr? Have you ever had a chance to use the Fuji X-Pro1?
Anonymous asked: Being that you shoot in natural light a lot and because you like the models to continue to move throughout the shoot instead of posing, do you try and shoot within a certain aperture and shutter speed most times? And if so, what ranges do you normally stay in?
Anonymous asked: Charles and Rodney said in their latest podcast about model posing that you have to select the right kind of model for your shoot, that you can't hire a commercial model and expect them to deliver the emotive editorial motion poses that you see in their work and in yours. Is that true in your experience? Are all of the models here editorial models? And have you ever shot a commercial model...
Anonymous asked: It looks like you're shooting in a lot of high contrast lighting situations without using reflectors or additional lights. Are you able to pull more shadow detail from the RAW files of your NEX-7 or from the 5D Mk III? You get more or less noise in the shadows from the NEX-7? And do you get funny looks from model's you've never worked with before when you shoot them with the NEX-7?...
Anonymous asked: Thanks for the response. Another question about the location search.... Do you go location scouting at a certain time of day to determine the lighting and how it will be during a shoot?
Anonymous asked: Do you find yourself shooting more at wider focal lengths or at narrower? I see you like the 24mm for the Sony. Is that not cropped and therefore essentially about a 36mm or so?
eltiano asked: i swear i thought you were using a mk iii and a 24-70L at some point ?
silenceisenough asked: i looove your photos! what camera do you use? : )
runningkids asked: Hi! If you are a beginner and want to buy a camera that is pretty cheap, do you have someone you can recommend? Love your photos!
Anonymous asked: What do you look for when scouting for locations? How the light falls at certain times of day? A certain textured wall? A messy apartment? And, do you look for locations for specific models or look for models for specific locations? How does that all work?
