That model is too good. She literally hit new poses every click every 2 seconds and it's legit almost stressing me out, but we all got our own shooting pace ahah! Amazing work!

[@Taylor16255]

willbriss omg same I’m glad I’m not the only one lol I’d be so stressed trying not to miss something!

[@mdh2006]

She was very professional, and hott.

[@asifbymagic1979]

yes and I wanted to see great facial expressions as well. If they both could slow down a little bit, results will be unbelievable.

[@sharpasl307]

This model really knows how to pose. Great use of the available light Julia - well done!

[@andysibiya854]

Ok but can we take a moment for this beautiful queen that’s getting her photos taken😍😍

[@belindaschindler1703]

Absolutely love all these shots and thank you for adding your settings to each shot.

[@markharris5771]

Another great video with some awesome shots. Your image editing really is top notch and your model seemed brilliant at giving you what you wanted.

[@timothylam3314]

Yes I totally agree. It was simply amazing !

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!

[@nathangreen7312]

Another awesome video. Great to show how such ordinary locations can look really awesome. Also she’s the most beautiful model I’ve seen you use in your videos

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you 💛

[@silberware]

Wow, your model is brilliant and very pretty. And you are so generous to share your knowledge with the world. I never miss a post because you’re inspiring.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you 💛

[@mjztx]

Love the video. Your models always do so well. I love how you shot her hair. Beautiful.

[@japanclaude1]

I love the way you interact with your models professional or not ,the directions and feedback you give them as the photos shoot advance .The result they get more and more at ease and confident their mouvement mor natural,it must be so rewarding for you.Again very inspiring JC

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much!

[@joelfgallarde]

Really cool to see this video in real time to see the actual process. Thank you!

[@nathanbryant1134]

I love all of your videos and bts but this just might be my favorite one. The colors, model was very easy to work with it seems, and local aesthetic of the area was just fitting.

[@tracyedwards2746]

Particularly liked those images by the gate and when Linnea was seated towards the end of the video 😊

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! Those sitting ones at the end were my favs too :D

[@iTrumpet2014]

This model's movement is so on point.

[@Smoothblue90]

Yes. So many people comment on how pretty she is. But look at how she changes her expression and the tilt of her head after every single camera click. She's an excellent model.

[@juliatrotti]

Yesss she was super amazing to work with!

[@3Design]

sua filmagem é tão boa quanto as fotos (e eu amo!!) ♥️ 🇧🇷

[@reymanridemtb5264]

Beautiful photographer and beautiful model,wow

[@MsYoungleo]

Showwwww beautiful pictures and a very good direction, congratulations for this incredible work Julia!

[@dawgyv72]

What an awesome chill model! Not too many of those in NYC!

[@mikaylatruax7424]

Omg you two worked so well together ♥️

[@AnastasiaSilvi]

Please do a photoshoot with 18-55 mm kit lens!

[@thecolorofmysould]

I really really want this to happen.

[@wanakoplays8874]

I don't think she even has a Canon crop camera to use that lens on. It won't work on her full-frames.

[@Smoothblue90]

Do the reverse. Tape your zoom lens to be fixed at 35 mm full-frame equivalent. Or 50 mm full-frame equivalent. Or 85 mm full frame equivalent. And go and shoot people by moving your feet around instead of using the zoom. That will also help you know what lenses you may want to get in the future.

[@KBee795]

Remember, you can set you lens to 35mm focal length and do the same shoot ... but at a higher f stop so your background will not be as blurred out. Have fun.

[@Smoothblue90]

And if you want the background more blurred out. Set your 18 to 55 to 55. Then set your aperture to 5.6. Then don't touch the zoom. Don't touch the zoom. Don't touch the zoom. Move your feet back and forth until the person you're shooting has their shoulders and head filling the viewfinder. Then move them and you around until there's some sort of background far away. It will be blurry. The further that background is away the blurrier it will be.

[@zhavorange333]

I love "Bali" location on 6:16 💕 Your photos are great! Thank you for videos like this ❤

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much!

[@anavillarreal2383]

Hi Julia, I loved the locations and interaction with the model. Your images are stunning with a film-like quality and aesthetic that I love. Beautiful work indeed.

[@juliatrotti]

Love 35 1.4 might be the best glass ever made by CANON and the best ever made of all brands! Nice pics!

[@juliatrotti]

It was so much fun, she moved around so well! :D

[@DavidZhou]

Since you're a Canon shooter, thoughts on the EOS-R? :)

[@edogawaconan6266]

This model is such a natural! I like the "Bali" blue door 💙 I need to do a shoot just like this. Just pick a suburb and shoot as we see. Thanks for the inspiration (as usual)

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks so much!

[@Danieltrotti]

Must've been very easy to edit that face Julz, very nice model!

[@KlarqueGarrison]

Great use of simplicity!!!!

[@anmolbeing9019]

Hi Julia, this video help me to learn how to adjust shutter speed according to light and that is very important so thanks for making this video and keep doing what you do you really inspire me. Best of luck.

[@marksnellingphotography]

Lovely work guys... Can't beat swooshing arms 😀

Brilliant work, thanks for the inspiration, keep 'em coming............. ;)

[@yueliiacopino]

Loved this video xx

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!

[@fortus69]

Great video, thanks to you Julia. I saw you shoot with a very short interval between two captures. It would be kind if you tell me what are your settings about the focus mode (Single-shot AF/Continuous AF/DMF/Manual Focus) focus area (Wide/Zone/Center/Flexible Spot/Lock-on AF) , Metering mode? Do you use face detection as well? Keep making great and useful videos, thank you

[@alessandroz75z]

Nice!!

[@albertw251]

Love your shirt!! Did you leave your heart in San Francisco specifically? Great video!

[@jingimage1108]

I like that 5:24 the color in the picture is totally different with the color in the vid....haha

[@luciaraniakova8865]

amazing work!! beautiful woman!! i love your BtS

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you :D

[@katinielsen2632]

When shooting, are you (in camera) under exposing? Great direction. Great model. I adore your work.

[@Sthomaspdx]

You have convinced me to get the 35mm lens. I already have the 85 1.4 and I love it. You do such amazing work with the 35. :-)

[@Goldmangun]

Beautiful shots - really great work! I especially liked the set starting at about 4:50.

[@jwkooi1979]

Great BTS

[@whousefilms]

Great video! Just curious if you set the shutter speed on each shot location? Or do you let camera automatically decide?

[@ritapatel4364]

Love the BTS!! The images shown are edited or straight out of the camera? Do you under expose for these backlit photos? Would love to see an editing video of some of these images !!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much! The photos in the video are all edited with my Lightroom Presets. I did a live stream going through and culling all the photos from this shoot if you want to see it on my channel! You can see what all the photos look like straight out of the camera in that video :)

[@nailntoothfairy]

AWESOME! What time of the day are you shooting this?

[@Gordonlanguam]

Idelise Rosado I got the same question lol

[@juliatrotti]

This was around 1pm-2pm, but in the winter so the light is much softer compared to that time in the summer!

[@DarkstarDarth]

If we could get Will Farrell to spin around in a dress and do some poses it would be an epic afternoon💃🏻😀

[@x.Rival.x]

My biggest take away from these BTS videos you post is that you're very good about constantly communicating and giving feedback to your subject. (Outside of your obvious camera skillllzzzz)

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!! :D

[@henrytsao1]

Hi Julia!

[@Mani-mani-y6s]

Hey miss do u use ND filter?

[@pblnlpalu]

Cool workout!! Julia, would it be easier to use batterygrip with your 5D?

[@juliatrotti]

I personally don't want to make my camera any heavier/bigger than it already is haha, it doesn't really bother me taking portrait images without a grip anyway!

[@why3480]

模特真漂亮。

[@frametoframethekkady6039]

nice

[@stacyambramorin]

I love your channel! Do you use Back Button Focus?? I do, because I thought is was the best to get sharp focus, but I still struggle! Thank you for all that you do!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! BBF doesn't really work for me, I prefer using the shutter to focus. I have a video about how I focus here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmLIh6WCn8l2sKM&t hope that helps :)

[@xWafflexNYAx]

which camera and lens used in this video

[@nickgreene2533]

Love these videos! I'm trying to incorporate some of these back lighting techniques into my travel and casual photography. To make sure I'm understanding it correctly, do you basically place your subject in a shaded spot where the sun is to their back? I would assume the photographer should also make sure to stand in the shade so the sun isn't messing up the exposure too badly? I've had a hard time pulling this off - usually the face is very underexposed when I try.

[@terrycullinane9437]

Use a reflector or fill flash.

[@bangendedscoots7960]

Great as always! Julia- do you ever edit objects out of the background, like a trash can or sign. Or do you just not use those shots?

[@juliatrotti]

Unless it was a really captivating portrait, then I probably just wouldn't use the shot! I've learnt over time that it's easier to just keep an eye out for those things on the day while taking photos than to remove them afterwards :D

[@nelson6488]

i love this 😍😍 do u shoot in av mode?

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! I shoot in M :)

[@JeffCreates]

I'm learning a lot from you Julia. I notice you never give the model any kind of emotional instruction or suggestion, it's always movement and position. Is that the difference between "model" and "actress"?

[@juliatrotti]

I think it really depends on what kind of photoshoot you're after, I personally prefer to create with body movement, light and location rather than via emotion! Not all the time, but most of the time :) Model's also very subtly change their facial expression throughout a photoshoot, it can be hard to notice but these smaller facial expression changes are more in line with the model portfolio shots I take and what the model needs for their book.

[@appleshampoo324]

If you live in rainy Belgium like I do, Australia IS tropical!

[@cremersalex]

Rainy Belgium? Not since climate change!

[@appleshampoo324]

@@cremersalex summers get hotter but winters get more extreme as well so it gets even colder. Winter in australia is like a nice summer's day (20+ degrees) in our country.
