Julia, I follow you for about 10 years now. You were my biggest inspiration in the beginning of my photography journey and I've learnt so much from you over the years. Thank you so much for your amazing work! ♥

Hi Julia, the “key light”. In the eyes is the best tip! I love to shoot natural light, and haven’t thought about that. I will now. Thank you.

Hi Julia Could you make video about reflectors? Maybe talking how to choose those size, shape and color. Also how to hold them appropriately. I have tried those but never got ideal angle, height and distance to lit the subjects Thanks

Well done Julia!; ironically, I have got more value from this tutorial not so much for portrait pics however for shooting Cars (which is my main subject) ; would be great to see you do a one off EG of shooting 4 wheels just for your take on this aspect !

I realized i have stagnated and began ignoring the fundamentals, stemming from lack of shooting/covid long anxiety symptoms. Looking at this reminded me of the work i USED to do. I need ot get back to that. A beautiful, PRACTICAL video. I even stopped bringing reflectors, or would bring them and not use them. And never had a great relationship with flash/fill flash. argh. My only real question is- is all the examples taken with a 85 1.4? Ive never had pleasure of using a 1.4 lens for my shoots. I live at 2.8 because of lack of access. I can shoot at 85mm with my zooms, but its not the same. another one of my favorite photogs tubers does the same.

catch light in the subjects eyes! hmm well i noticed you also had catch light on your video currently thats might it look always so engaging this point was something which was new to me and is so practicle,i also had a pic which i had taken of my brother looks always perfect when i see... and that one also had catch light in eyes , you made me notice it today always thankful for what i learn from you😃

Cheers, nice photos. The first tip is a good one and an important one. However, in real life these tips are not always possible. When walking with a willing (or paid) model you can create your own scenario and location quite easily. However, things get way more complicated when photographing a family for example, in a location they wanted. You will not always have the best conditions (put mildly). That is why flash is so important! No racoon eyes and nice catch light. The trick is to use the flash light so all look natural.
@juliatrotti20 күн бұрын
Thank you! I used to put these tips to use when also doing family shoots and weddings which I did full time for over 7 years. Of course sometimes it's not always 100% possible, but you can absolutely use these for the majority of the day/time you're shooting to get better photos :)

My teacher has mentioned some kind of light that is in the shade but right next to the sun. Or is it in the sun right next to the shade. I need to learn more about that, it's supposed to be very flattering.

Some Great Tips !!!! i enjoyed watching this but its important for folks to remember that it can take time to develop skills and techniques - months not hours !!!! No camera is perfect. I generally see +1 0 -1 variations in light meters between different brands. Sometimes less - 0.5 0 +0.5
@juliatrotti20 күн бұрын
Thank you and yes I agree, it might look easy when it's all shown like this, but when you are out on location sometimes your mind can go blank. It used to happen to me all the time! It just takes time and practice to improve on these things, learn how to read the light, etc :)

These are so photoshoppes you could shoot them in the dark. These tips are useless if you are a photoshop artist. Photoshop is not photography. It does produce stunning artistic pictures which is what people want. Just not real photography. Thanks for the video though. Great tips.
