Thank you for having me, loved your tips!! Also your photos were gorgeous 😍

[@MitchLally]

Likewise Julia - I loved seeing your poses and the edits are a vibe 👏👌

[@junc6415]

Julia, can you share your editing process for these photos? I love to emulate that kind of editing

[@PalesaMPhotography]

Julia's "Hey everyone" always makes me happy🥺🥺

[@rickysandoval1195]

I wish they could have picked people who were not models so I could see more of natural poses and smiles. Great video by the way!

[@kopastetic6598]

Yeah these two are a cheat code

[@notmyname8527]

That will never happen.

[@MauriaMooreMedia]

Watching y’all together is so amazing because you both have your own unique style

[@MitchLally]

Thanks Mauria! Legend!

[@taymoore2509]

Mitch and Julia are just a dynamic duo when it comes to this photography 💎💎

[@UgandanAllstarTales]

I like what you guys are doing with this natural light setting. the results are amazing

[@johnsilver228]

Great video, I feel like so much of it is the overall tone and vibe of the photographer. If you’re tense and stressed your couple will see that and make them feel the same way

[@Lindzy9988]

Love this. I always feel embarrassed looking at my phone for inspiration during a shoot. It’s nice to know well established photographers do it too!

[@yourstrulyeliz]

This is so helpful! I have a love couple shoot for the first time soon and I’m not too sure on how to direct them. Thanks heaps for this video 🥺

[@iTzPiShPoSh]

This video is making me feel a lot better about me still not owning a flash yet so at least I know it can be done without a flash. Thanks for this video! Now I have some poses in my head!

[@JackyLi]

Love these tips from your channel and Julia's, thanks Mitch!

[@CharlieGreenberg]

Your cooperation with Julia is amazing, love those vids with you two!

[@MitchLally]

Cheers man thanks for filming! It turned out better than I could have expected!

[@francoalino]

Awesome! Two of my favorite photographers in one video and also the two photographers who made me fall in love with the 35mm focal length to the point where I'm currently saving up for my first 35mm prime. amazing shots (and videos) as always!

Yes Mitch! So good brother!

[@MitchLally]

Thanks Zac!

[@bajjilllion]

Man I just laughed at the "spray and pray" caption hahaha. It will definitely get you something! I've just never heard it called that before. But I also really like the first tip so far, that's a great tip to keep distance at first.

[@AmericaTru]

I love this girls face

[@sebastianschmidt5850]

Thank you

[@emmysamako]

lovely what do you use to colour grade your videos please

[@MichaelllMehta]

Hey Mitch, so i just got the RF28-70, which I defs shouldn't have as a rookie, but I was wondering if you know of any mint Brisbane places to shoot portraits?

[@MitchLally]

UQ, KP on the rocks by the river, literally anywhere in West End. Also check out Abbott St in New Farm!

[@taymoore2509]

I jus wanna see more ✨

[@MitchLally]

Glad you liked it

[@piyakhebison9069]

DAMN!! This is tight!!

[@pyroBlastM]

Mitch which focal length were you using?

[@svixpm]

What camera settings are you using for your couples photos? Aperture? shutter speed?

[@maggieenoc3616]

I like

[@renandemarque]

i was just now talk with a couple about their photoshoot hahaha

[@video2284]

does any know any site to buy this kinda presets ?

[@vinaygupta9277]

thank you sir

[@nikohutter7150]

awesome tips super useful! i noticed the ISO was a little high on some of the photos lel

[@celya8483]

Can you do tips on shooting with moving subject? For some reason every time i shoot with my subject walking I can’t seem to get them in focus. 😩

[@MitchLally]

Sure can! That’s a great idea

[@eduardocortes-dv4lo]

Hi Mitch and Julia, this weeken i was shooting a couple in movement towars the camera, i was using af.c but point focus... i lose few images. What focus do you use guys for that kind of shoot? Thanks and best of luck. @walocortes

[@tagalogpinoymovierecap]

new subscriber here , your content is so great

[@williamhawkins4737]

I guess. Yes!

[@williamhawkins4737]

Yes!

[@Itchban]

Yooo When did you guys film this one haha.. Cranking them out.

[@adrianarulz]

What camera are you shooting with?

[@tristanluc7008]

what aperture are you guy shoot at?

[@monkunsharip8807]

Hai Mitch, i have a question? How do u keep the couple in focus on every shot? Even when one of the person is in the front and the other in the back? Thanks 🙏🏼

[@MitchLally]

Mohd Alyahsah Shariff I use the face tracking autofocus in servo mode.

[@monkunsharip8807]

@@MitchLally didn't know dat face tracking can detect two people. Got more to learn, appreciate for the tips Mitch.

[@Seitenwerk]

@@monkunsharip8807 it doesn’t and it can’t focus on two things at the same time. You will have to be careful in your position (make sure your subjects faces align/are in the same layer). Also ne aware of your Aperture, lense used and distance from your subject. For example if you would be using a 85mm with 1.4f from a close distance, you probably won’t have a chance of getting both in focus. You probably won’t even have one face in focus except for the small array you are focusing at. So step back a meter or more or choose a lense which is wider

[@Demoralizacjaxxiwieku]

goddamn thanks!

[@Amulyapusker]

What's camera

[@timnguyen4494]

Great videos, how ever, To have great tips, could you get non-models not so skinny models?

[@Pyro.DS11]

Is this burst mode sir?

[@rajivchoudhary8819]

Keep going

[@mejiecraft5278]

I want that cam🥺

[@belindagregory7046]

I need a photo shoot also guys

[@visualtherapist4290]

Hey man, I love your work, I notice that you also shoot with a Fuji, I have a question or two. 1) With modern technology how easy it is to use a crop sensor camera for Professional work (fashion etc) 2,) Is it more of a challenge because of the crop factor vs a full-frame.

[@MitchLally]

To me the crop sensor in the fuji is just as capable as many if not most full frame sensors when it comes to professional use.

[@visualtherapist4290]

Mitch Lally thanks man, your pics with the xt4 are brilliant

[@aminj9612]

عالی بود
