We're here with professional beauty and fashion photographer Matthew Jordan Smith for today's Marc Silber Show - Advancing Your Photography! Smith's fashion photos have appeared in magazines like Brides, Elle, Essence, and many more. His work is special because he loves making people feel beautiful in photos, from celebrity portraits to ad campaigns. His style isn't about using a special lens or filter, but how he puts life into his images. Matthew shares many of his best photography tips in this video, from planning a shoot to getting the best natural lighting in photos. Although his work in fashion photography involves models and teams of makeup artists, any amateur photographer who takes portraits will find his techniques on imitating natural sunlight to be incredibly useful. His advice is to grab a camera, find a concept, and get to know your subject so they look and feel comfortable in photos. And if you show work that you love, not work that you think will get you work, Matthew guarantees that you'll take better photos!
