Gotta love photographers like her who doesn't just glorify themselves while shooting. She goes straight to tips and just clicks away, not too much blabbering.
I liked what Julia did, but I'm starting to question it. At 3:02 I tought exactly the same what she mentioned later at 6:37 😁 Aand finally she did at 7:35, noway! So , she argued against herself ;P So if she knows what is not worth to do then why is she doing 1 minute later?
Tips are helpful to beginners, and serve as reminders to intermediate. I wanted to say that your on camera presence is terrific. Good cadence in your speech, just the right amount of confidence. You are genuinely fun to watch. Not everyone has that.
Your model was fantastic. I really love that you add the preview screen at the bottom right, super helpful and amazing!!! I just started following you, so far I'm loving what I see
This video was great, and thank you SO much for explaining the "cropped" vs. not when it came to the feet in full body vs. sitting down photos. (Right before you brought it up I was sitting wondering, "Hey, wait a minute..."). In conjunction with what you were saying about using vs. minimizing Leading Lines, one thing that struck me in the photos is that: 1. In the case of the cropped foot at 5:43, another reason cropping the foot felt like it worked for the composition is that the two legs together created visual lines towards the Docs (rather than the model's face) and as a result tension between where a viewer's focus should be, and 2. By pivoting to reduce the leading lines in the photos at 8:24 you almost play an optical trick - in reality the vanishing point terminates at the (higher luminance) white door in the background, but by pivoting it creates a sense that the lines converge on the models face instead. Thank you for putting out all these great composition videos! I feel like I finally understand approaches to composition that have been eluding me for years 🥹
This tutorial was AWESOME! And the model constantly moving but not too fast helped me with some posing ideas too 👏🏽🙌🏽 y’all were a perfect match for this vid! Thank you for this ♥️
I usually take landscapes but I got roped into taking photos of a team building event. Discovered your channel because I wasn't quite sure how, when and where to crop. I shied away from taking portraits for the longest time, but thanks to your videos, I think I might give it a shot again. Thanks for the tips and cheers!
This is the first video of yours I've watched. I really enjoyed it! I've been thinking for a while about buying a camera and starting to learn photography. Today I've been watching RUclips tutorials all days and I was so stoked to finally find a woman making some tutorials! And an Australian which is even better. You almost threw me with the American Photography thingo sponsorship and I doubted myself for a minute and assumed I'd been watching too many videos of Americans today haha. Also I'm now regretting being signed in to my partners RUclips account and not my own because I am in fact a woman, which is why I was stoked to see a video by a woman.
God, the model is soooo on point with her posing! 😭🙌🏾🔥 Excellent tips! The best tip is the Leading Lines and line through the face. And framing above joints. I am sometimes bad at that 😅
Always great stuff. Just on the spot as I’m doing a shoot today and very helpful. Can you do some more on what the model is thinking to make them comfortable and moving. Kinda like the one with your sister. This model was great but I see young people feel uneasy. Thanks!
Gorgeous and very talented model. Congrats on a beautiful photo shoot. I know you like the 35 but I would have used a 135. That's just me. That model and the 135GM - woooow!
I wish I had seen it long before. I learned by a lot experiment. This helped to reiterate some. I like the comparison shots, easier to see the point. I also like the demonstration of how the model does subtle movement to allow a natural beautiful catch. Thank you for the tips!
In one of your videos you mentioned you were hesitant to shoot people at closer distance but then went on improving it. I had similar experience in recent shoot. Even I tried it on old dslr with old 18-135 lens. It did much better than i expected & got some awesome shots
This was a very helpful video. As someone who is just starting off with photography and suck at taking portrait, your tips were practical and too the point. Love the side by side comparisons and simple pointers throughout the video 👌📸
Yes I would love to see more video like this made by you. You're an excellent photographer and great teacher. Thank a lot!!!! And BTW - you model, SaaraahHenderson is excellent too,
I loved the tip you gave about putting a little negative space in full body shots. I tend to shoot with very little space and it leaves me no room to crop in post.
Tip 1: Give more room to breathe Tip 2: Crop the knees Tip 3: Reduce negative space Tip 4: Keep subject at center Tip 5: Shoot portrait oriented for sitting Tip 6: Crop the shoe closer to camera Tip 7: Watch for background distracting head Tip 8: Wall leading lines 3:28 This model is amazing and beautiful. Even the crows cannot concentrate lol.
thanks Julia, really helpful since I started to take portrait shots every week now if I can. How about a video about 85mm since that is a regular portrait lense that is used a lot currently. the video helped me some tips but also confirmed my existing knowledge. and then kudos to the model that really knows her way which is always a plus on a shoot.
I’ve been watching your videos I didn’t realize I was not subscribe.. quick question what are those wires in your camera 📷 do you mind sharing your setup please
I lieked the video. It was interesseting to me that cropping the feet out ist sometimes a real option. My proposal for a future video: Can different focal lenses be used to flatter different body types? I heard rumors, that a wide angle lens can be used for full-figure subjects.
Really appreciate your tips Julia! classy work and the model is a dream! My focus is street photography but noted down your tips for my portrait shoot this week. Thanks a lot. Subscribed!
Very helpful video thank you! I would like to hear about how you think about placing the model and getting them to move. How much do you plan I’m advance or do you rely more on improvisation? 🙏😎
Great video, one thing with her feet when she was sitting at around 6:00, if she brought the leg stretched out in and her feet were together it would look better, and avoid cropping at the ankle :)
That was so much fun to watch. I could tell you were having fun cause you were very focused during the shots. Compliments to the model for her posing. I really enjoy watching these videos so thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us 🤗. I would love to know about when to use flash and the difference it makes in photos because I don't use it either unless I'm at a wedding reception haha. Would you say that flash is better suited for studio shoots? Thank you! ❤️

Yes ,also she have so much positive energy which make her videos so appealing!!
Just a genuine, professional person who wants to connect with the model and isn't full of herself.
I liked what Julia did, but I'm starting to question it. At 3:02 I tought exactly the same what she mentioned later at 6:37 😁 Aand finally she did at 7:35, noway! So , she argued against herself ;P So if she knows what is not worth to do then why is she doing 1 minute later?
This model really is fantastic. Her movement is on time and effortless. Also your tips are great.
Love that you’re adding the footage on the bottom right!
Do you know what’s the name of this machine?
I love the simple location. Gives it a relatable feel. Make any location beautiful, you don't need something extravagant to capture a moment🙂

amazing tips and what an amazing model!! i love how she just seamlessly changes her pose after each shot.
"Flow posing"...
The lines through the face is a good point. I feel like not many would notice this!
She said that and then she shows lots of her photos with the garage lines in the back in the middle of the head
Love how the model started smiling as soon as job was done, so sweet
The model is one of the most beautiful women I’ve seen. Great pictures!
The real time footage you added on the screen was SO HELPFUL!
Very helpful tips, added to my knowledge and definitely I'll use them in my next photo session! Good luck Julia!
wow, did the model attend some sort of posing masterclass? her movements were effortlessly on cue, imagine every model with such talent
On the second composition, you should mention that the reason you shot from the end of the rail was to get leading lines to add depth!
the model is GREAT
Your model was fantastic. I really love that you add the preview screen at the bottom right, super helpful and amazing!!! I just started following you, so far I'm loving what I see
Loved the leading lines shots at the end looked fantastic
I could listen to that voice all day. Great work 👏

One of the best tutorials so far. Simple but straight to the point of what actually makes the look of such images stand out
Loved the full body picture tip where you leave more space on the top, really interesting
You are my favorite portrait photographer honestly! Wow !
Great shots! I specifically liked the crop above the knees over the railing. Looked really good and made a difference.
This was really helpful. A 24mm or 85mm tutorial would be nice too as I feel like both are completely different looks.
Definitely agree. Same style but with 85 or even 70-200 would be gorgeous!
85mm and up feels boring and limited to what you can do with it. 35mm to 50mm are perfect to get different angles.
I just uploaded my 85mm composition tips video 😄 I started working on it after so many requests in this video!
I feel like such a Pro, after watching your Video!
the model is super beauty and excellent!
thanks. I will try for your advice👍👍
Thank you Julia!!! 🥰

Good. Now I want a 35mm f/1.4. Thanks Julia!
:)

photos looked great! Would love to see a portrait shoot with a 24mm👌
Yes, absolutely! Because when I try, I can never get them right...
Always great stuff. Just on the spot as I’m doing a shoot today and very helpful. Can you do some more on what the model is thinking to make them comfortable and moving. Kinda like the one with your sister. This model was great but I see young people feel uneasy. Thanks!

Phenomenal work…motivational too thanks

Dope!

im Liang from BALI 😉
I'd like to photograph a model like her, she's awesome posing.
Beautiful work!
Julie - how is your wireless HDMI set up working out? I'd love to have a video on the set up.
Bro.!😅
Same! I hope we get some more info on it soon.
Great video, one thing with her feet when she was sitting at around 6:00, if she brought the leg stretched out in and her feet were together it would look better, and avoid cropping at the ankle :)
Hi! I love your work, I was just wondering could you make a video of how you keep consistency with using presets in different lighting situations?
U just earned a sub, u r good
Love the tips and tour videos. Could you tell me why you use the screen instead of the view finder? A see a lot of photographers doing this much more.
Amazing tips! Thank you!!
Thanks for your sharing, I’ve learned a lot👍👏
I really love the headshots 💕
Please make a composition video with 85 mm lens
thank you so much, learn a lot in this video
So helpful! Thank you
Love these tips!
thank you juli!! You are always inspiring. I hope i could get 35mm.
That was so much fun to watch. I could tell you were having fun cause you were very focused during the shots. Compliments to the model for her posing.
