Photographers Take Photos of Each Other: Kiara Rose

[@IreneRudnyk]

You guys are so talented and beautiful!!! ahhh

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! 💛

[@MaksChernykh]

The guy who doing video is insane :D

[@artemisfowl9002]

nothing beats the sony shutter sound, makes you wanna never stop shooting

[@Atreyu_art]

This looked like a super fun time. It's so different on the other side of that lens haha. I also love to get out there and be creative without the pressure of getting specific shots for a client! I really enjoyed this video, cheers Julia!

[@juliatrotti]

It was a lot of fun! Haha oh man being on the other side of the camera is tough 😂Kiara made me feel so comfortable though which was awesome! Thank you so much Alex :)

[@Atreyu_art]

Totally! Kiara seems like a very awesome friend (: You two should do a photography challenge of some sorts! That would be cool to see you two do!

[@rosechocolate98]

I really liked that video! Those photos are gorgeous, the lighting the spot just gorgeous! You should definitely make a series of it, the "photographers take photos of each other"! I'd love that.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much and yesss I would love to turn this into a series!

[@rosechocolate98]

Julia Trotti that would be amazing!

[@MissWeerdo]

“The key is to keep moving” that’s a good advice! These photos are soooo nice!!!!!

[@WuschelofDespair]

best advice in the video I think

[@katelynfergusonphotography]

You guys are both talented! So natural in front of the camera too. :)

[@nataliemh23]

I loved this video Julia!! I would love to see similar shoots with non-models to see how you get natural looking photos... my biggest challenge is telling people who are not comfortable in front of the camera what to do. This was super helpful and gave me a lot of ideas so I'd love to see more :)

[@sallygo7984]

You know what I like the most with her videos.. she shots normal girls, girls from out neighborhoods not super models. Great job

[@WuschelofDespair]

Seriously one of your best videos ever. Dreamcombo and just a joy to watch. And you both showed extremely well how a good photographer, golden hour light and a wide aperture prime lens can make great photos in any location. The one where you had her sit on the ground between the trees, I thought "wow what a boring location" and then I saw your pictures: nailed it!

[@han2012m]

Both of their cameras autofocus works so fast, I feel like my camera takes forever to focus on someones face. ugh lol.

[@WuschelofDespair]

I think it also depends on the lens how fast the focus works. Canon is known for the industry's best auto focus but I was surprised by her Sony/Canon Combo. Until the new Mark 3 Models Sony's Cameras where always known for not so good auto focus and she even used a non-native lens with an adapter. I'm not heavily invested in Canon (1 old Camera Body and 2 lenses) so I'm really thinking about switching to Sony

[@MichelleCoxPhotography]

I love these kind of shoots! This is how I get most of my photos -- shooting with other photographers. ;)

[@deived16]

Julia is so pretty and she is so natural at posing wow!

[@romekk3975]

This must have been a nice time spent together for both of you. I am so envious this was on the other side of the globe from my perspective... I really like your consistent style of photography where you do not pump up the colors that much. Even if it is very opposite to what I do with my photos. This gives your pictures a more film type of feeling at least to me. Still, the very best feature of the clip is that amazing accent of yours, Julia. Please, never change...

[@Ohthatamber]

This was such a beautiful shoot! Also the outfits were amazing 🖤

[@SoftLawenda]

You are like sisters in the way you look and the way you shoot! Amazing work, I'm going to check Kiara's photos immediately!

[@Littlebird-creative]

Julia and Kiara!!! Love this one so so much! It's really inspiring to see people get out of their comfort zone. I feel the exact same awkwardness in front of the camera so it was lovely to see how you both worked with that and coached each other into a comfort zone. I'm definitely going to do this with a photographer friend. Thank you for posting this!

[@liant9314]

Am I the only one who fall in love with Julia's videos? I've watched around 30 videos of hers. I feel like I am in a dream when I watch Julia talking and doing her things. She is very sweet and polite. Her videos are nicely colored and edited. Watching her videos make me want to improve myself not only in graphics and motion but also in everyday life.

[@juliatrotti]

Oh my gosh you are so sweet, thank you so much!!

[@iTrumpet2014]

Both of you are so talented. Beautiful as well:)

[@reemeissa526]

Loved seeing your different shooting styles! And you're both such naturals in front of the camera. Also, Kiara needs a KZbin channel; I've followed her work since the Flickr days and she's so talented!

[@juliatrotti]

Reem Eissa thank you and yesss! I totally agree 😄

[@farhatafza2739]

Do you use some presets because I love the tone of colors of your photos.Amazing girls with stunning portraits

[@TheGirlSkateBoardCo]

Dan is killing the video!!!! Someone give him an Oscar!!!

[@lillypetersen5337]

I love it!! Thank you both for this incredible video! Could you make a self portrait video?

[@pippinwoof4706]

this photoshoot was absolutely beautiful. well done :)

[@TJIzzy]

You have the best ideas for videos Julia! Working on some for my channel

[@theyellowchucks]

This looked so fun! So much talent 😁🙌🏼

[@vlogswithvic]

Such a beautiful shoot! I love the very soft theme and the lighting and location. EVERYTHING WAS SO AMAZING!!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!

[@mandamarie4278]

This is such a lovely video and all your outfits are beautiful!

[@malikahalalshaikh8715]

I love your shots and the place is so magical!!! I wish you would include more chats and tips and tricks like what do you look at what do you think of when you are taking the shoot and composition and so on! Love your videos keep it up

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much! I've started doing that more in my recent travel videos, giving some insight into the shot and how I'm composing it :) I'll keep this in mind next time I do a portrait shoot as well!

[@dawoodsouli3224]

I think the best place for Julia is behind the camera,I love your shooting photos so much and also I mean you are a beautiful

[@SONYAdicto]

Have you tried AF-C (autofocus continuous) on the Sony? I find that it’s the best setting for portraits on my A7 III, coupled with Eye-Af is unbelievable! Even when it doesn’t detect the eyes, it detects the face, and when the face is covered it focuses on the body, so is almost perfect for every scene that involves a model.

[@juliatrotti]

SONY αdicto I’ll be trying all that out when I get my hands on the A7III to review! Can’t wait 😄

[@SONYAdicto]

Julia Trotti Awesome! Look forward to hearing about your experiences! 🙂 I’ve watched your videos since you were about 5k subs

[@Dimenigma]

love you guys, so beautiful and relaxed. Really learned a lot from both of you. Want to try some of your shooting styles in my next shooting. big hugs!

[@paolam613]

I swear the locations are always so stunning You ladies did amazing! You both are so talented 💗 and the outfits were so cute

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much!

[@kenshinchch]

Magnifique!!! J'adore vos photos et le principes. Continuez les filles vous êtes géniales!!!!

[@36sudip]

@Julia - Finally your fans saw you being a model in front of the camera! :) N you dazzle when you smile. :) Both of your captured some nice shots. But the ones you took were just something else. :)

[@KK-fc4zl]

Girls you are so talented! Video and photos sooo wonderful! Very cool! 🙂🥰

[@royandescartes]

when i visit Australia i HOPE to meet you Julia. and work with you. Amazing stuff

[@eviem70]

I enjoyed watching this video. You two worked very well together. Thank you

[@TheThirdErnest]

Ooooo shooting sonyyyyy

[@juliatrotti]

~ drama ~ lol

[@melodeyrose]

I need that dress Julia! It's so cute 😍

[@brittanijackson2968]

This was such a cute idea

[@karennguyen6215]

I love everything about this!!!!

[@MIcholinl]

That looks so fun!! I wish I have a photographer friend to play with too! I am married with two kids and love photography. By the way I think there are just not enough female photographers out there. I love your work!

[@angelmartinvicente1467]

I love your photos and videos. Fantastic. Thank you.

[@TheEquineImage]

Nice work by all, on both sides of the camera!

[@markharris5771]

What? No new Canon 35mm? I really liked Kiara's traditional way of testing for the best light quality. Great video, two very good photographers, but whispers: *I think Kiara was shooting with a MKIII not MKII you put in the description below the video.* I really like the "Your camera screen is so clean." As they are words I’m never likely to hear being said to me.

[@danpodbierezki]

typo :) it is a mkiii. On a side note, my phone autocorrects mkiii to mkii every bloody time. Random pointless fact.

[@markharris5771]

Dan Podbierezki Think yourself lucky, mine auto corrects to mkIV which I haven’t got, I have the mkII and mkIII. I also have have the EOS 5, which is my pointless fact. I thought it was a typo, which is a slight shame as I prefer the mkII over the mkIII.

[@danpodbierezki]

An EOS 5 isn't a pointless fact at all. =] Pentax SP1000 is my personal weapon of choice. What's your preferred film choice?

[@markharris5771]

Dan Podbierezki HP5+ developed in Rodinal is my go to film. I do vary though, especially at 120 and I tend to use FP4+ with either Ilfosol3 or LC29 in my Zorki 4K. What is yours?

[@thienluong3263]

Working together, both of you have two functions : photographer and model : beautiful photos

[@yatishwaranand6409]

Everything was so perfect. Loved it thoroughly. What mic were u using???

[@thelegendrubyrodd]

i love to just go out and shoot. its like freeing my soul or something like that.

[@nathanbryant1134]

When the last video you watched was the live stream on YT and you mentioned the use of the word, ”reckon” and less than a minute into the video it's said. Haha. Awesome. Two great photographers, I follow on Instagram collapsing. Sweet. Thanks for making this video 🤙🏾

[@juliatrotti]

Aw thank you! And yeah, I reckon I say I reckon way too much sometimes ;)

[@daviddu4946]

I am a photography enthusiast from xi 'an, China. I have been watching you for a long time, beautiful video!

[@nathanbryant1134]

Not that it's important but I really love the shutter sound on a Sony camera more than any other camera in comparison.

[@SONYAdicto]

Nathan Bryant the new sonys’ shutter sound different though, more agressive and heavy machine like.

[@nathanbryant1134]

SONY αdicto Not to me. I have a Sony A7 III.

[@SONYAdicto]

Nathan Bryant Interesting, my A7S II’s shutter sounds WAY different than my A7 III’s... the old one sounds exactly like the one on Julia’s video.

[@kasialukawska]

I love colors of your photos! Can you tell me which one of your presets did you use for this session?

[@juliatrotti]

Kasia Łukawska thank you! I used my Amalfi Preset for these: www.digitalfilmactions.com/lightroom-presets/#/new-amalfi-lightroom-preset/

[@osamaalja]

hello Julia glad to have to watch this video now while having my lunch, love from Brazil/Syria

[@ariamaze9081]

The person who was filming it did a great job too....

[@charmaineroseenot7990]

Hopefully I could have someone to do something like that too! ❤️ Both of you are so good! ❤️❤️

[@NaNoaa100]

Beautiful sunset.

[@PooMusix]

Thanks for your insights. Again, a great video. May I ask, how you both did such a quick focussing on the face? Did you lock the focus plane or did you focus and recompose?

[@juliatrotti]

Poo Music I can’t speak for Kiara, but I have a detailed video about how I focus here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmLIh6WCn8l2sKM I used the same method on Sony for this shoot!

[@deividaszadeikis6370]

Hey Julia can you do review video about your imac?

[@ssuryakanta1]

Awesome location & images too , could you please share any video about editing ?

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! I have lots of videos on my channel about how I edit in Lightroom in case you haven't seen them yet :)

[@igno4ta]

I would like to see the pics before editing to know what to expect as results from shooting backlights

[@Alexander-cw2pe]

You are amazing 😀It’s always satisfying to look at the photos you took!! Btw, why are you shooting Sony today?

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much, and why not? :)

[@rickdacosta9727]

Two photographers take photos of each other .......cool idea. If there is a next time, maybe include the cameras in the some of the shots to ad some context.

[@SouBuuS]

Hey I'm from Portland also! nice work both of yall.

[@AlexTube12]

Nice Photos! :D

[@chunchunnewmai6219]

Young n talented Lady.... God bless

[@armx-studio4175]

I love your Work!! What adapter do you use in the sony?

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! Metabones.

[@reneefariasphoto40]

FYI: several of your video link to your subject on IG but their profiles don't come up. Just a note. ;)

[@juliatrotti]

It’s probably because they’ve changed their usernames over time

[@jaejae9253]

great job to both of you-- talented, beautiful people the portraits look stunning😍

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!

[@dezzymeriei]

Hey! I live two hours from Portland!! Nice. :)

[@kaiwan]

Awesome!!!

[@aaronobrien7821]

How come when my settings are the same as yours my pictures are basically black? I have to change the shutter speed to like 1/80 for them to be bright but then they’re blurry of course. I’m assuming the lens has to be like 1.8 or lower to use similar settings to you? Thanks and sorry if that’s a stupid question. Love your work 😀

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! I have a video just about that topic that I think will help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3rVp4hrr6iSgNk :)

[@jyap89]

oh hey! I noticed that you were both shooting without a lens hood...so I was wondering was that intentional to get more flaring with the sun? or do u(and Kiara as well if you know) not use them in general or on particular lenses? I seem to be noticing more posts on instagram of gear people are using without them on and I wonder if its just for the shot(because it look cooler) or how they normally shoot. Great shots and video as always! :D

[@kiararose9501]

Hi there! Using a lens hood creates a more contrasted portrait, I love the flaring/backlight that comes with not using a lens hood, its a lot more soft! Just a personal style preference!

[@juliatrotti]

Yep, I'm the same as Kiara, I personally prefer to capture lens flares in my photos. I would use a lens hood in some instances where I don't want a lens flare - but the majority of the time, especially in my personal work, I love it :)

[@jyap89]

Ah k cool! thanks for the reply! I should give it try and play with lens flare a bit more! Keep up the good work both of you! :)

[@glorious_help]

Cuteness overload

[@bjdent]

Another awesome video! Can we shoot together when I visit Austrailia?

[@magdalenabaska9283]

HI Jullia, I love your back lit photos. Unfortunate I'm not good in getting my Canon camera with right settings. Can you please tell what settings do you use, exposure so and your back lit photos look so great? and model face nice visible, not underexposed? love your chanell

[@paulvink1992]

@Julia Trotti Hi Julia, thanks for your video's! I have been photographing for a while but I want to bring my skills to a next level. Your KZbin chanel really helps me a lot! I have a question for you. In some of your video's you underexpose your photos to make sure that you still capture details. So I am wondering, do you also underexpose the model (Kiara) in this photoshoot so that you can bring back the details in Lightroom afterwards? I also found that when I expose the lightning in a photo (with backlight) for the shadowparts of a skin, there are some skinparts that are so light that all details is lost. So I am wondering, do you set the exposure to the lightest parts of the skin, so that the details of those parts are not lost? And @2:21 Kiara tests the lightning with her hand. Can someone tell me more about that? Haha, I hope my questions are clear enough :)... Greetings from The Netherlands

[@kiararose9501]

Hi Paul, I test the lighting with my hand to see how the light bounces and if my skin is exposed evenly, then it'll be a good place to photograph my subject! You should try it sometime!

[@paulvink1992]

Hi Kiara, Thanks for you reply! I will definitely try this technique :)

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! Yes, I love underexposing photos to be able to retain as much detail as possible. So as you mentioned with the detail getting lost in the lightest parts of the skin, I make sure the expose for that so those parts of the face aren't lost :)

[@paulvink1992]

Thank you Julia! I will go and try this. The more I watch your KZbin chanel the more inspiration I get ^^

[@kriscuthbertson5787]

I’m curious because I use the Sony a6300 and I use manual focus for portraits because i feel like the autofocus really struggles to get focused on the eyes. Do you have the same problem out of the A7ii?

[@juliatrotti]

I actually find that the autofocus on the A7ii is pretty good and the majority of the photos are focused on the eyes. The only real time I struggle with the focusing on that camera is when my subject is walking towards or away from me as it can't get it in focus fast enough.

[@wilsoneusebio777]

So Pretty and Nice really!! GOD Bless )

[@halakhaldi9401]

I love you so much thank you for all you do

[@Kamil_Konrad_Kowalczyk]

Is the same field where you take foto shoot with kristina?

[@juliatrotti]

Yes :)

[@jalinajannink5199]

How do you manage to take pictures with backlight without the face being completely underexposed or with the sun completely overexposed?

[@juliatrotti]

I have a video on my channel explaining exactly this question! If you do a search on my channel for the word "back light" it should pop up :)

[@netty7692]

Awesome job girls!! But what's with the screaming kids in the background?? Creepy

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! It's a public park so there were probably kids nearby haha

[@haseebahmed6792]

Love u Julia 😘

[@lilomunchue]

Were you shooting continuous or single shot?

[@juliatrotti]

Single shot!

[@paolam613]

Kiara girl you need to drop a KZbin channel

[@kiararose9501]

I'm working on it ;)

[@juliatrotti]

I agree!!

[@KingKarma-n]

How can I shoot like u on my canon powershot sx410 😃

[@juliatrotti]

I'm going to make a video about that soon actually!

[@liam_britcoin]

How do you find locations like these??

[@juliatrotti]

Just by driving around, looking at google maps, etc!

[@BubblyLola21]

Does this field still exist?

[@ashmarchele8781]

❤️📸❤️

[@ezequielmartinez3582]

Just in case hahaha thats so cute

[@sasa21eterna]

I'm back, O.M.G, 1:11 I could frame this picture right now on my incredible, gorgeous wall.

[@SilvioRogerioGomesCosta]

Y'all so cute...:)

[@dungnguyenvu485]

Hello. I really like everthings u do in video. I have request. I really want you take photo with canon 700d if you can. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rajib045]

One question Julia: are the ancestors of you from an Asian country? Actually there is a touch of Asia in your smile and face.

[@juliatrotti]

Nope, both my parents are Argentinian :)

[@rajib045]

yap, I was right. I was damn sure that you are not native Australian. No matter, you are very pretty. Argentinians are so pretty. You have proved it once again.

[@reneefariasphoto40]

Julia are you from Texas, USA? "I reckon" is a common thing said in Texas. hahaha

[@juliatrotti]

Australia actually! It’s a really common thing here too hahah

[@KazuyaMASUDA1982]
