I love my 85, it's my favorite of all my lens, & this video is just what I needed, I feel that I shoot too close sometimes & forget that this lens will do a beautiful shot capturing the full body frames & the background. I need to grab a model & go out & practice. I'll probably watch this again & again .... loved it & subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the tips.
i love the busy background but the subjects still is the main focused i think that is such a fantastic idea to me at least, i have my own imaginations and love to use it well for this type of shot
I always have such a tough time shooting portraits with my 85. I was just speaking with a friend about this very subject just the other day. Thank you for creating and uploading this video. It was super helpful. Now I wanna grab my 85 and go practice.
Yeah I was kinda the same, the 85 was my favourite lens for a while when I first got it then I lost interest in using it for a couple of years. Now I'm in love with it again and can't live without it hahah
Girl you have such an amazing channel and beautiful spirit. I have learned so much in such a short time because of your delivery, tone, energy, patience. I am a new subbie here and love this channel hands down my favorite 🥰
One of your better videos on portrait photography with that lens. Great tips and examples. I wish you would leave the final photo up longer while you discuss why you did what you did, I have to keep replaying sections over so I can get a better understanding. I really liked this video. Thank you.
Just got the 85mm 1.8 lens and used it for my in laws high school graduation. From using the start kit 28-70mm to this lens, it makes a huge difference! I’m still learning about what to use different lenses for what. Your videos are so helpful!
@@alexn.andradeIf you're mostly doing photos I'd get a 1.4, If you can afford the GM that's one of the best 35mm ever made (for any camera). Its not great for video though, so if you're planning on doing that, get the Sony 1.8. If you can't afford the GM but are still just doing photo, get the Sigma.
Thanks Julia for this tutorial. The fact that you’re getting these stunning images using natural light is in itself epic. Please which transmitter are you using to share your view monitor as you shoot?
Easy to use but very effective techniques. Simplicity is the key. You know how to use that very well. Your works are brilliant. I've learnt a lot since I started watching your tutorials. Thank You 👍
Thank you for a great video - you have a very natural and calm presence on the set. I was wondering; what is that thing attached to the bottom of the camera? And the cables between the camera and the lens?
Hi Julia ! 🤩 Thank you for one your best best videos because most of us shoot these shots at parties, weddings, birthdays, travel etc. I love my 85mm and you show us why. So good 👍🙏
Beautiful work. I was surprised when you said you liked to crop off the top of the subject's head in landscape. I'm curious what others think. It would be hard for me, but I am not very contemporary. You and the model seemed to have a great rapport.
I love the video's you make, explaining how to shoot a portrait. Do you ever do a shoot in an industrial environment instead of in park? I would like to see that some time.
I struggle with my 85, and therefore almost never use it unless I need more reach during a wedding ceremony. I really should utilize it more often, so thank you for these tips. It's out of my comfort zone (I usually shoot with my 24 most of the time) but I'm going to give it a shot this weekend where I'm second shooting. I love your tips on the landscape shots since those can fall to the wayside as well when I do portraits. I always just found it easier to use my 24 and move my feet towards and away from my subjects, but an 85 gives that cool look I think I'm missing. Luckily there's a lot of space where I'll be so it'll be easier to achieve. This video came at the perfect time. Thanks, Julia! Also, Mathilda was fantastic. You pick the best models for these videos!
So helpful!! Thanks for sharing Julia! I have the 85mm per your recommendation and am enjoying learning more about how to use it to its fullest potential!
Thanks for this great tutorial 😊 I got one question: Why did you 500 ISO? In any setting? I got a sony too and work as a teacher in photography in Germany and I am interested of photographer with different workflows and techniques. So I would gladly if you give me an answer In pleasure Marc🤗
The 35 and 85 are my go to lenses as well then the 70-200. I got rid of my nifty 50 as I hardly use it and in a pinch if I want that focal length while not using my 24-70 then I can just go into DX mode on my full frame with my 35 and basically get the same shot. Beautiful images btw
Thanks so much for another outstanding video on composition tips - it is so helpful !! So much inspiration across the video - I particularly like your simple but effective suggestion of leaving some space above the models head when shooting in portrait orientation but then cutting off some of the hair when shooting in landscape orientation; also leaving in the model's shoulders. I have watched the video a couple of times and keep picking up new ideas each time !! Many thanks again.
Thank you for this video. I plan to buy an 85 lens very soon and I’m a portrait photographer so this video helps. Please do a video on how to set up your camera settings. I think this will help out A LOT on how the portraits come out. PLEASE 🙏🏼
@@juliatrotti Hi Julia I am so thankful you replied, but I was referring to spot focus/ auto focus. Like how do you set up your focus points? If you use the back button focus. I just know that the settings on the camera other than shutter speed, AF, and ISO are a big part too. I wish you could do a video on focusing on the camera itself.
@@rosiesantos5854 ooh I get you! I have a video about my A7iii setup if you use the search function on my channel on desktop - I uploaded it a while ago. Otherwise I have an A7c setup video I posted about a month ago which is a very similar setup to my a7iii!
Great tips to create more depth on the 85. I’m curious why you chose to keep the iso at 500 instead of bringing your shutterspeed down from such a fast shutterspeed
I love the way you integrate nature to the portray. I some times hesitate to get my subjects surrounded by branches because it will be distracted, but the way you did the depth of field degradation of the 85 mm make me see other angle of the concept, thanks
Great video!! I just realized looking at your video that I have not done nearly enough headshots even though I shoot with the 85mm most of the time. I think with all of my shoots this coming June, I will be taking a lot more headshots 😅. Also love the call to attention with the text to indicate your thoughts on the negative space, including the shoulders etc. Last thing, I feel the landscape full body portraits are so under utilized! Even though it is my preferred framing since I love the storytelling aspect of it, because of Instagram, I shoot way more portraits than landscape. I have consciously focus on them. Thank you again for giving me a few ideas for the upcoming shoots!
Thank you so much! Yess the 85 is SO good for headshots, my personal favourites are always the ones I shoot in horizontal orientation :D And I also love the landscape full body shots, the only downside is that you need a pretty large location so you can get far enough back! But it's worth it when everything aligns to get a shot like that.
Fantastic! I always struggle with composition, i feel im always too close or to far away when i use an 85. Great tips!! would love to see one on a 35 and 50..... just saying lol.
I'm glad you liked it! My last composition tips video was with a 35mm if you want to watch that :D I left a link in the description! I need to do one with a 50 next haha
Thanks Julia. Love the tips for composing portraits. I noticed your shutter speed was quite high throughout the shoot, while increasing the ISO for outdoors images. What was the reason for that?
Hey Julia ... Super awesome tips, loved it to the max ... the 85 is my favourite along side the 24 (cos i dont have a 35 yet ) I am definitely using a few of these on Saturday fro my next shoot.
Thanks for the great tutorial ! I was wondering - why many of the pictures are with iso 500 , but with a seemingly unnecessary high shutter speed ( great than 1/ 150 for example which should be enough I guess to avoid blur )- Is the high ISO something you target artistically ?
This is an interesting question. I know that the Sony A7iii performs well at high ISOs, and has this "dual" native ISO thing where noise suddenly drops off at 640 ISO. So perhaps pushing it just below that threshold results in a clean, but natural film-like grain?
A composition tip I will definitely try to not be afraid to test out is the first tip to crop a portrait shot from the shoulders/hairline and leaving a bit of negative space at the top. My primary lens is a 24-70mm f/2.8 so I will use the 70 mm to get that background to foreground separation and bokeh 😍

This is so helpful, have had an 85mm for quite a while now and I don't think getting the framing right with it had really clicked yet

Indeed the 85mm lens is perfect for portraits. Just enough closeness, intimacy with the subject, nice perspective and bokeh........ beautiful shots.
Love this tutorial. I love my 85 and bought the yongnuo one which is awesome.
Thank you!
Favorite tip: ask your subject to stand in the leaves so that it is more surrounded by the background. Thank you, great tips!

What settings did you use? It turned out really good!
Great work! What decide do you have on your cam for live video while shooting? Is that the RavenEye?
