Thank you so much for watching! xx
Taking photos in overcast weather is something I do often since I live in the UK.
Overcast days and foggy days are my personal favorite for portraits and landscape. It’s like having the biggest, most beautiful soft box in the universe. Another excellent video, Julia 👍
The clouds act as a huge softbox. It's amazing.
Every bit of photography advice I look up on UA-cam Julia has already made a video for it. It’s uncanny! I’m very grateful. The vids are always a nice length with a handful of actionable tips - no info overload.
Gorgeous photos! I love overcast weather for portraits (:
Overcast is so much better lighting than strong mid day sunshine; these photos are awesome too.
I love the colors, and the model has a perfect face for this.
Great Pictures! She is beautiful! I love the pictures!
She’s so pretty! Julia, you are AWESOME ❤️❤️❤️❤️
sometimes in Costa Rica is really difficult to have an overcast weather, but when it happens is like finding a hidden gem, just like your channel! Thank you so much!
I find that in overcast weather you can capture so many beautiful colors that only come out to be beautiful in the right situation. I did my first shooting in this kind of weather a few weeks ago and was astonished by it!
Hi Julia, another educational and entertaining video. You're amazing Julia. I love the images and your San Francisco Preset. I've always loved shooting portraits on overcast days as the images seem more cinematic.
Beach scenery is my favourite.Beautiful photos
Julia always gets stunning images. Thanks Julia!❤️🇰🇭
Nice video. I definitely enjoy shooting in overcast conditions, especially when I've done urban/downtown shoots because when the sun is strong you've got reflections everywhere.
Finally the first behind the scenes, i like it very much, those were amazing tips, thank you Julia!
Holy cow! Jorja is freaking gorgeous!
It’s amazing how different genres prefer different light. Grey, overcast days are terrible for landscape photography, it gives very flat images with lots of blandness. Of course there’s the golden hours but stormy skies and soft directional light just after sunrise are brilliant. My favourite light is often the blue hour pre sunrise and post sunset. For wildlife any light will do, grey overcast days give you the flat light which is best ID shots as you can capture the details without shadows. Soft directional gives you the more artistic shots.
Another brilliant video as always.
I absolutely love blue hour for landscape photography! Aside from it having a magical feel, it also makes it so much easier to expose a landscape since the light is quite even haha. And I couldn't agree more, stormy skies with a little bit of sunrise or sunset light is absolutely amazing :D
I can't wait to try out all of your tips. Since I live in Poland there's an overcast day almost every single day and I was afraid to shoot in such light, soooo.... I don't shoot at all. XD
Overcast days are great for portraits. With the right camera settings you are guaranteed great shots and popping true colors. No fighting shadows or sunlight. They are a blessing in disguise.
Great video. For me the most informative bit was the subtle direction you gave the model.
she's so natural and gorgrous!!
i live in England our weather is always like this..haha... agree styling is key..to add that pop of colour. super lovely images...
Happy Rainy season 👍🌷👍😂shooty Jully 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thank you. Finally someone that puts ''Tips'' in the title and really gives you tips in the video. God bless you haha
Julia, I love shooting in overcast days! One of my favorites scenarios... this shooting was stunning, how the red dress pops up in the image, I really like it. Congrats!
Thanks so much!
"Hey everyone!" Best line ever 😂😂😂
Fantastic! I have been avoiding overcast shoot but this video has inspired me to get out and try some :-)
Julia I love listening to your voice while learning :)
Beautiful location, great job as usual Julia!
Thanks for the tips cuz I'm a noob here
Great shoot👏😀📷
Love the photos and love the model!
Great, GREAT! Video Julia. Thanks so much for giving us a behind the scenes look at how you work. THE BIGGEST takeaway for me was your chemistry and interaction with the model. I think it's key to have your talent trust you and be at ease so that they're comfortable and more willing to try things out for you. Great job!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it :)
Marvelous model.
Doing a beach photoshoot tomorrow in la jolla! Wish me luck! Ty so much julia for your advice! ❤️
Another awesome video and amazing model. I really liked the first dress she was wearing
Beautiful work as always Julia , your talent could make the worst conditions look awesome!
Ah you're too kind, thank you!!
All we get here In Ireland 🇮🇪 is overcast weather, this is a great video
So awesome!!!
Julia, you can do no wrong! 🖤🖤
Giving you big-time props for being out there shooting in tornado weather conditions! HAHA Keep up the great work!
Overcast is my fave! You can get interesting clouds too.
love this! I've been watching all your videos!!!! They are so helpful and inspire me to become a photographer. THANK YOU
Awesome! Thank you!
love these tips! It's always cloudy these days where I live so this was super helpful!
Julia you’re so great!! Thank you!!
Great tips Julia and beautiful pictures as usual!
Great video as usual. And you're always able to find some lovely and engaging models. I would hope you're able to do a video on how to get/attract models to help build a portfolio.
Oluseun Ogunlegan great idea, I second this
Thank you and that's a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion :)
Thanks Julia,learned some really helpful tips. you are amazing.😊👌🏾🔥🔥
My favorite outfit to have a model wear under overcast weather was a sweater, usually a big one that I either brought from home or had the model steal from her father/brother/boyfriend. Solid color only. A blanket is a good prop too, again solid color or maybe a very simple pattern.
Very inspiring and gave me some great ideas for my next shoot! Thanks a heap Julia!
Thank you!
This gives me so much hope!
The Model Is So Cute the wind wouldn't blow me away Its her!!
thats me girlfriend hehe
@@jordanp2285 Congratulations Bro.
Lovely video Julia! Starting 2019 off with a brilliant portrait shoot! Photoshoots by the water are so much fun. :)
love your syle Julia.
I just love your work! 😍 Thank you so much for sharing your tips!!!
Love your videos and even tho I know most of what your tips are I enjoy watching your process and hearing your lovely accent. 😀✌️
Amazing work! These look very tight around the edges for the 35mm lens - I thought it would give a much wider view. Seems like this lens is way more versatile than I'd realised! Thanks for another great video!
Thank you! I believe the 24mm would give a closer look to what you're imagining, the 35 is a little wide but you can do so much with it :D
Really love it. Make me want to shoot model right now 😭
I also have one question - how do you manage to keep the subject in focus at f1.4 during the walking shots? I always struggle with this ahaha
shutter speed
Check out my last upload before this video, I made a video about how I get sharp photos - hope it helps! :)
Some photographers use back button focusing but i think Julia is using focus recompose maybe find a method that suits you?, & over shoot when you are wide open Aperture!.
@@stephengatley8144 No one in the world is going to focus and recompose on a moving subject. The question asked was about keeping focus during the walking shots.
Thank you for the tips! One thing I’ve noticed is that you don’t seem to be constantly messing with your dials and stuff for exposure. When I shoot outdoors, it feels like I spend 3/4 of the time adjusting my shutter speed. Even moving a tiny amount will have a big impact on my exposure meter, so I have to scramble to make adjustments. How do you get around that?
There's a couple of things, the first one is that I know my camera really well and what's its capable of in terms of dynamic range and how much I can push my editing. So sometimes I will leave my camera settings as is even if the lighting changes a little bit because I know it's not enough to ruin my photo. The other thing is that I am usually changing my settings, but I do it while I'm still shooting as changing settings and knowing how it will affect my photo has become second nature and is something I don't even think about anymore which will come with time and practice! So if I'm looking through the viewfinder taking photos and I see the sun has come out, I'll just bump up my shutter speed in between pressing the shutter without taking my eyes away from the viewfinder :) But again, that will come the more you practice shooting as you slowly get used to how different lighting situations will affect your photo, hope that helps!
That is helpful! Thank you so much!
@@thronesberry If you can't change settings on the go you aren't shooting enough it's muscle memory but even i derp out sometimes, because my cameras are very different from one another X-T2 & X-PRO2!
Stephen Gatley I can change the settings on the go, it just frustrates me to have to do it so much. You’re correct, though-I’m not shooting enough. Hopefully with more practice, I won’t have to make so many adjustments.
Love your channel. Keep up the good work!!!!! I have recently decided to turn my hobby into something more and your videos have been invaluable!! Thank you and all the best! :)
Thank You !
love the color grading
overcast is my fav time to take pictures! since i always miss golden hour lol
Great tips Julia!!
Great video tons of great tips. the full body pics looked awesome
1. The light is more even so you can shoot in different directions.
2. Look out for shadows and eyes.
3.Find locations with good color and have the model wear something that brings out contrast
4. include the sky
Love your videos Julia!
Great tips which Oz conditions apply to South Africa too..Thanks Julia
This was an awesome video to watch Loved the Location and the Shoots!!
Thanks so much!
@@juliatrotti Your welcome and thanks for the Like and Reply.
Fantastic video and tips - beautiful! Good job 🙏🙏
@juliatrotti I have been binge watching you’re videos ! Amazing images. This shoot stood out to me and would love to know how you edited them to get the tones that you did as they look amazing.
Great photographer and model obviously help but the tones are quality.
Julia😭❤️you are awesome ❤️❤️❤️
I know you prefer not using a lens hood, but when on a beach on a windy day I would think a hood would provide a bit of protection from the elements (both sand and water spray). Are there any conditions where you do use a hood? Thanks for the wonderful videos and teaching lessons.
You took your Canon out once again!! :)
I know deep inside your hear you know that even though Canon lacks technology the images it produces are lovely and second to none.
I have a 5d4 and just purchased a Fuji XT3. I was told that Fuji’s images will be better than my 5d’s. Now that I have both, I totally disagree.
I thought it was because, as stated in one of her previous videos, the 28mm f2 was the only native lens she had for her sony.
OutspokenTheMC I would not doubt it. Sony lens far exceeds the cost of the camera.
I agree. I had to learn that the hard way lol. Needless to say, although the a7iii has very awesome features and takes amazing pictures, there’s something about the 5d mkiv images I wish I had.
Vincent Perry Jr me too! I just bought a XT3 and even though many claim the Fuji had better image I do not agree. I do like the XT3 for street photography.
I do love both cameras, but I prefer my Canon for photoshoots like this since I have all native lenses, so I'm not hindered by the slowness of adaptors such as when I use Sony!
Thanks Julia!!!!!
where is the red dress from?!?! Also these photos turned out AMAZINGGG 😍😍😍😍
Thanks for sharing the tips .
Beautiful images Julia! You make the ocean and the model look so incredible! How warm was it out on the beach? I've only been to the Oregon Coast and when it's overcast like that it is cold! But since you are in Australia I am wondering how warm it is when it's overcast like that!
Thank you! That day I think we were in the mid 20s in Celsius. It wasn't too bad, but halfway through it started raining and we got soaked, then factor in the little bit of wind and we were all freezing by the end! If it wasn't for the rain though, it would have been a bit warmer :)
These are so beautiful!
Hii Julia, Love your vids as usual Um could you do a video on cameras and lenses for beginners I’m interested to know what your take is
I would love a video on how you got about nailing skin textures in post.
Very good! I like this
Amazing video!
Hey this is cool. Great behind the scenes
I love this 😍💓
awesome work!
I'm used to shoot at concerts or places with really low light so overcast weather is the most comfortable source of light for me since plain sun makes me freak out because I don't really know how to deal with it. It might sound weird but it's hard for me to get used to natural light without overcast skies.
WHERE is her red dress from?? Its STUNNING!!
Amazing!!
Julia, hooooow do you find the most beautiful models ever??? 😳👍❤️
I’m learning photography.. I love this vid! Can you tell me the reasoning you went with a high shutter? Reason I’m asking is because I heard you should go 3 times the focal length?
Borja is so cute, she looked like she couldn't believe that she's in your video Julia XD
I hated shooting at the beach, and I lived 11 miles from Newport and Laguna Beaches. First off the humidity plays havoc with the model's hair unless she's got her hair in a ponytail or braided, even then you get lots of flyaways. If you're shooting in the afternoon it's usually windy, unless you're shooting the day before or the day after a storm and then it's windy all day long. Sand gets in your gear no matter how careful you are (and I used to put everything in a big plastic bin with a good top on it.), and it's even worse if it's windy. I was shooting up at El Matador Beach in LA in late afternoon in the summer when the wind came up and started blowing so hard the sand felt like thousands of needles hitting your skin. We got the shoot done but it was painful. Then, it can get really cold at the beach, even in the summer, especially once the sun starts going down. About 20 years ago I was helping out a fellow photographer doing a calendar shoot for Playmate Nikki Ziering and her last outfit was a chainmail bikini. It had been sitting on a towel with the cooling wind blowing over it and sucking out every bit of heat from it. Nikki was wrapped in a big towel and went to put it on, and she howled like she'd been shot. It was ice cold. (Tip: keep warm anything metal that is going to touch the model's bare skin. The models will thank you.) The other problem with it getting cold is goosebumps on the model's skin so bring a big heavy blanket or long coat they can wear between looks. Also bringing along some of those battery powered or chemical hand warmers can be a big help too. Bring lots of them. A thermos of hot coffee, tea, soup, etc would be a good idea too. If you want the best chance of avoiding windy conditions shoot before noon and keep an eye on the weather forecast because, like I mentioned, the day before and the day after a weather front comes through are usually windy all day. If you have the manpower bring a big collapsable translucent or opaque panel to provide open shade where you need it. Having some black/white reversible panels on hand is good too for controlling light bouncing around. At that Nikki Ziering shoot it got so windy I was holding a 5' panel between Nikki and the wind and almost got blown over myself when a big gust would hit. If you see a picture of her wearing an Indian headpiece with feathers, I'm standing camera right just out of the frame holding that panel to help keep the wind off of of her.
All that said, an overcast or just bad weather day is wonderful to expand your portfolio with images that aren't the same as everyone else's.
I get extreme contrast and shadows on my subject eyes/face in overcast weather :( I don't know how you do this..
I love overcast weather combine it with good lighting = Magic Happens
You're a boss. Thanks.
Very helpful
I noticed the filter you had on your lens. What kind of filter are you using and why?
Julia :D quick question - with overcast and changing weather conditions, how do you adjust quickly on the fly with regards to your white balance?
