[@silverphotography]

Thanks Julia ✌🏼

[@jaem23]

Todo un placer verte y mejor aún, saber que estarás por los rumbos de Cancún. Espero y nos dejes ver muchas cosas que hagas acá en mi país, México.

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Muchas gracias. México fue el mejor :)

[@laurentbacq6427]

Bon voyage… Et de belles photos.

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Merci beaucoup :)

I'm a canon user but your formula works well regardless of what people use.

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Thank you for commenting. At the end of the day, the cameras are just brands and each has their own con & pros. Of course Canon is in the lead :)

[@GLAADIADOR]

Thanks Yuliya

[@yuliyapanchenko]

My pleasure!

[@dantezr1]

You're really wonderful, welcome to my country, I hope you like it a lot and enjoy your stay a lot, send you a big hug with all my heart!!!💐💐💐🍀🍀🍀

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Thank you! Cancun was awesome and I loved it. The people were so kind.

[@romiemiller7876]

i also use Nikon. I use the 24-120 mm f.4 lens as my go to, and also the 14-24 mm f. 2.8 which is worth its price when it's needed. I have a D800 now, but I'll also get a D850 when I have the $.

[@yuliyapanchenko]

I use the 14-24mm for my signature shots actually. If you look at my wedding portfolio, all my award winning images were taken by that lens :) It’s a really nice lens.

[@romiemiller7876]

@@yuliyapanchenko Yes it is. If I have to shoot at 24mm, I'll use it instead of the 24-120 most of the time, although they're both good lenses.

[@thomasdolcelli4969]

I like your new intro. Also, you have some seriously awesome gear. Even though I am into canon. When traveling do you ever worry about losing stuff. I always keep camera, batters, two lenses and a speed light on me, the rest in a separate case. It was very interesting to see how you do it. Also thanks for posting this.

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Hi Thomas. Thank yo u for your comment. I usually never lose anything, but I potentially could if I travel alone. I always take an assistant with me. On the airlines, I have never lost anything because I have all me main gear on carry on. I don't separate my lenses and cameras from my sight :)

[@thomasdolcelli4969]

@@yuliyapanchenko oh, I never traveled by plane for work. So, it's new to me. But I do understan, not letting those lenses out if sight.

[@pedrobartolomei7707]

nice tip contacting someone local to rent/borrow some light stands

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Yes! It really helps. I always do that when I travel for my workshops.

[@billjohnson3323]

Thanks Yuliya. I love these kinds of videos. Question: What brands and models of bags did you show?

[@billjohnson3323]

I found your list of everything. Thanks again.

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Sorry for the late response. I tried to add everything I found of the list. The list is actually helpful :) I have been using the Tenba bag for over 5 years and it’s solid rock. Never worry about my equipment breaking in it.

[@billjohnson3323]

@@yuliyapanchenko I found your very complete list which answered my question, but after I asked it. My bad!

[@billjohnson3323]

Would you consider a video on how you use the variable ND filters in your shoots? Thanks

[@yuliyapanchenko]

It’s funny you mentioned that. I was actually doing that tutorial, but the model was late and I lost the sun. So I just thought of this video :) I will definitely do that video on the beach for you. It’s an interesting topic.

@@yuliyapanchenko I do a lot pf sports portraits on the playing fields under lots of difficult situations and this might be one more way to confront the circumstance and without going into HSS

Lovely

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Thank you 😊

[@kimharrison3146]

Hi Yuliya. I am a Nikon/Elinchrom user and I find your videos very informative. Can you please tell me what camera body you use as a backup? I use a D750, which is great in low light. Thank you! Kim.

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Hello Kim. Thank you so much for your comment. I still use the D750 is my backup camera. They are indeed great cameras and I still love it :)

My pleasure and thank you so much for your kind comment 🤗

[@izgil7541]

I'm confused about the nd filters; aren't they used for like waterfalls where you wanna freeze the flow? how do you use them on people?

[@yuliyapanchenko]

That is correct, but also on a sunny beach day, we use ND filters to stop the light. Let’s say I want to shoot at F2.8, and use a flash that is not high speed Synch, so my shutter will be at 1/250 sec. with that setting my photo would be extremely over exposed in a sunny day. So I can adjust my exposure by turning adding stops on the variable ND filter. Not sure if any of this was helpful lol

[@maha_studios]

Hi! What are the rules for working in a foreign country like Mexico or going to European country? Do you obtain a work permit every time? Is it easy to get?

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Hello! Thanks for your question. Most countries require the work permit or a fee. However, I am shooting U.S clients in other countries. So technically I am not working in another country because I get paid in U.S and pay the tax for it in U.S. it is always better to find out about the rules before your travel because each country has their own rules.

But your gears seems so expensive for a poor man like me 😂.

[@yuliyapanchenko]

Haha :) Well cheaper gear works just as fine :)
