Thank you for watching! xx - Навчання та стиль
This model really is fantastic. Her movement is on time and effortless. Also your tips are great.
Gotta love photographers like her who doesn't just glorify themselves while shooting. She goes straight to tips and just clicks away, not too much blabbering.
Yes ,also she have so much positive energy which make her videos so appealing!!
Just a genuine, professional person who wants to connect with the model and isn't full of herself.
I liked what Julia did, but I'm starting to question it. At 3:02 I tought exactly the same what she mentioned later at 6:37 😁 Aand finally she did at 7:35, noway! So , she argued against herself ;P So if she knows what is not worth to do then why is she doing 1 minute later?
I love the simple location. Gives it a relatable feel. Make any location beautiful, you don't need something extravagant to capture a moment🙂
Love that you’re adding the footage on the bottom right!
Do you know what’s the name of this machine?
Tips are helpful to beginners, and serve as reminders to intermediate. I wanted to say that your on camera presence is terrific. Good cadence in your speech, just the right amount of confidence. You are genuinely fun to watch. Not everyone has that.
amazing tips and what an amazing model!! i love how she just seamlessly changes her pose after each shot.
"Flow posing"...
The lines through the face is a good point. I feel like not many would notice this!
She said that and then she shows lots of her photos with the garage lines in the back in the middle of the head
One of the best tutorials so far. Simple but straight to the point of what actually makes the look of such images stand out
I really loved this video! Thanks for including all the different examples next to each other, it made it so helpful.
Loved the tips as usual Julia 😍 the photos were bomb!! Love seeing your viewfinder preview too.
Your model was fantastic. I really love that you add the preview screen at the bottom right, super helpful and amazing!!! I just started following you, so far I'm loving what I see
This tutorial was AWESOME! And the model constantly moving but not too fast helped me with some posing ideas too 👏🏽🙌🏽 y’all were a perfect match for this vid! Thank you for this ♥️
Awesome tips; I always found it really hard to make full body shots look good and I never realised where I was going wrong. Thank you!
Out of the common tips! Excellent work and its a plus the fact of seeing such a talented model posing. Thank you both!
I just bought the 35mm 1.4 for my a7iii last weekend and I love it so much for portraits already. This video is perfect timing and helps me so much! Thank you for another great video Julia!
Great shots! I specifically liked the crop above the knees over the railing. Looked really good and made a difference.
Loved the leading lines shots at the end looked fantastic
This was a very helpful video. As someone who is just starting off with photography and suck at taking portrait, your tips were practical and too the point.
Love the side by side comparisons and simple pointers throughout the video 👌📸
Very helpful tips, added to my knowledge and definitely I'll use them in my next photo session! Good luck Julia!
I could listen to that voice all day. Great work 👏
Julia, you are amazing! Your work inspires me so much thank you!
Never in a million years would I have thought about where I'm cropping. Julia you are amazing.
You are my favorite portrait photographer honestly! Wow !
Loved the full body picture tip where you leave more space on the top, really interesting
Your tips are so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing! BTW, your videos are so relaxing to watch!
The real time footage you added on the screen was SO HELPFUL!
I usually take landscapes but I got roped into taking photos of a team building event. Discovered your channel because I wasn't quite sure how, when and where to crop.
I shied away from taking portraits for the longest time, but thanks to your videos, I think I might give it a shot again.
Thanks for the tips and cheers!
Wow, a lot of videos today, keep it up, Julia!
On the second composition, you should mention that the reason you shot from the end of the rail was to get leading lines to add depth!
Great video, Julia! It was a nice refresher for me and learned new things as well. Also, I really like your model for this shoot. She was very interesting in terms of the emotion and movement she brought to the shoot!
The best tip is the one where you talk about getting the model above her knee! Great video Julia!
Thank you Julia!!! 🥰
This video was great, and thank you SO much for explaining the "cropped" vs. not when it came to the feet in full body vs. sitting down photos. (Right before you brought it up I was sitting wondering, "Hey, wait a minute...").
In conjunction with what you were saying about using vs. minimizing Leading Lines, one thing that struck me in the photos is that: 1. In the case of the cropped foot at 5:43, another reason cropping the foot felt like it worked for the composition is that the two legs together created visual lines towards the Docs (rather than the model's face) and as a result tension between where a viewer's focus should be, and 2. By pivoting to reduce the leading lines in the photos at 8:24 you almost play an optical trick - in reality the vanishing point terminates at the (higher luminance) white door in the background, but by pivoting it creates a sense that the lines converge on the models face instead.
Thank you for putting out all these great composition videos! I feel like I finally understand approaches to composition that have been eluding me for years 🥹
A lot of excellent composition tips, another enjoyable video.
the model is super beauty and excellent!
thanks. I will try for your advice👍👍
Awesome tips... thank you, Julia!
Great Fotos and great Tipps. Thank you Julia.
Just discovered your channel and have been loving all of your content
Love how the model started smiling as soon as job was done, so sweet
Really appreciate your tips Julia! classy work and the model is a dream! My focus is street photography but noted down your tips for my portrait shoot this week. Thanks a lot. Subscribed!
you're the best Julia! greetings from colombia
I loved the tip you gave about putting a little negative space in full body shots. I tend to shoot with very little space and it leaves me no room to crop in post.
You're shots are really amazing!
I wish I had seen it long before. I learned by a lot experiment. This helped to reiterate some. I like the comparison shots, easier to see the point. I also like the demonstration of how the model does subtle movement to allow a natural beautiful catch. Thank you for the tips!
Great video. I love your editing style and all of the vertical lines in the setting you chose. Your using them as leading and framing lines was educational. I’m now a subscriber.
Thanks so much!
Always great stuff. Just on the spot as I’m doing a shoot today and very helpful. Can you do some more on what the model is thinking to make them comfortable and moving. Kinda like the one with your sister. This model was great but I see young people feel uneasy. Thanks!
In one of your videos you mentioned you were hesitant to shoot people at closer distance but then went on improving it. I had similar experience in recent shoot. Even I tried it on old dslr with old 18-135 lens. It did much better than i expected & got some awesome shots
Thanks for the great tips Julia. Wonderful model also.
I love it.. We need more like that dear.. lovely. ❤️
Thanks Julia.. This is so insightful.. Well, after seeing a lot of your videos, I have fallen in love with 35mm.. Also, the perspective of your compositions is unique to what your style speaks about... However, all your tips are so insightful which I would definitely keep in mind in my upcoming photoshoot.. Thanks a lot for this video
i need more of this! amazing!)))
Somehow I'd missed this one Julia. Some really great tips here. Thanks.
This is the first video of yours I've watched. I really enjoyed it! I've been thinking for a while about buying a camera and starting to learn photography. Today I've been watching UA-cam tutorials all days and I was so stoked to finally find a woman making some tutorials! And an Australian which is even better. You almost threw me with the American Photography thingo sponsorship and I doubted myself for a minute and assumed I'd been watching too many videos of Americans today haha. Also I'm now regretting being signed in to my partners UA-cam account and not my own because I am in fact a woman, which is why I was stoked to see a video by a woman.
heaven on earth this video!!
This is a great video on portrait photography.
Finally! I found a video like this!
Just stumbled on your page and I absolutely love it...
More videos like this please it is such a cool video for beginners like me
Yes I would love to see more video like this made by you.
You're an excellent photographer and great teacher.
Thank a lot!!!!
And BTW - you model, SaaraahHenderson is excellent too,
Amo estos videos, Gracias por compartir
Phenomenal work…motivational too thanks
Both did an awsome job. So fullnof great tips. I'm just getting started in portrait photography but it's so much harder then creative which I've shot before. Beacuse no live objects that must look alive in the shots. But still a ton of fun and already looking forward to getting out and shoot some more portraits 🙏
This is very helpful. Thanks for the tips!
Excellent and very helpful tips!
I feel like such a Pro, after watching your Video!
excellent as always!!!
great video, lovely model, liked the shots with leading lines at the end,,i try to do that kind of shot when i out doing my street photography...
You are great! Thank you ♥️
Very nice photoshoot and tips , Also your edit , so Awesome 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥺🥺
this video was super helpful! thank you!
Very nice photoshoot I always see ur vedio magic in ur photography
I appreciate the tip with the negative space in the full body shot. I was still wondering why I don't like doing full body shots so much :D And the rest of the tips is something I agree with and I like to use those techniques too. By the way, using a 35 mm for portraits isn't too weird, I just need to buy a 35 mm to do it too ;)
Thank you so much i am very helpful i don't know how much better composition but this video i am understanding compositing tecniq portrait
thank you for the tips. Im hoping to see 24mm or 28mm portrait tips in the future especially how to control the distortion
Thanks for the content!!
Hi Julia greetings from Brazil! your photos are beautiful! I love your job! success!
Really good stuff!
Great job and the model excelent. Thanks
Amazing tips! Thank you!!
Love these tips!
loving your video :)) amazing!
That was so much fun to watch. I could tell you were having fun cause you were very focused during the shots. Compliments to the model for her posing. I really enjoy watching these videos so thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us 🤗. I would love to know about when to use flash and the difference it makes in photos because I don't use it either unless I'm at a wedding reception haha. Would you say that flash is better suited for studio shoots? Thank you! ❤️
Hi! I love your work, I was just wondering could you make a video of how you keep consistency with using presets in different lighting situations?
So so good thank you❤
Good. Now I want a 35mm f/1.4. Thanks Julia!
:)
the model is GREAT
Favourite tip was the cut off above the knees. I like to see portrait shoot with a 70..200, 2.8, where you utilize the different classic portrait f-stops 85, 135 and some of your preferences.
God, the model is soooo on point with her posing! 😭🙌🏾🔥 Excellent tips! The best tip is the Leading Lines and line through the face. And framing above joints. I am sometimes bad at that 😅
First video I’ve seen from you…SUBCRIBED!!!
Thanks for your sharing, I’ve learned a lot👍👏
Julia I’m loving these presets on all the photos!! I shoot a lot of colour so do you think they would work on my photos or more towards the earth tone photos?
Nice how you show the good vs 'bad' photo side by side to illustrate you portrait tip. thanks.
Beautiful work and great tips as usual. I must say, the audio track at 4:34 is lit!
Thank you!
thank you juli!! You are always inspiring. I hope i could get 35mm.
Very helpful video thank you! I would like to hear about how you think about placing the model and getting them to move. How much do you plan I’m advance or do you rely more on improvisation? 🙏😎
Awesome video! Thank you!
I like the tip u gave to avoid lines coming in the face👍
Hey Julia I would love to see a composition video with a 85mm. Awesome Video!
wow, did the model attend some sort of posing masterclass? her movements were effortlessly on cue, imagine every model with such talent
i love this
