hello from France thank you for your charm and your videos
Oh, I miss France. I hope I can go back soon. I love your country
You’re welcome together

thank you for your visit to the Netherlands!! Greetings Martijn
My pleasure 😇 It is amazing being here 😍
Do you know, what the name is from the model Saturday?
@@Hotrodtijn Are you talking about Ceylin? instagram.com/ceylin_de_jong/
@@yuliyapanchenko yes. Thanks. I was curious to her portfolio.
Gut 👍💯🌹
It's crazy how smartphones these days can take a similar video while keeping that window well expose including the b!uesky as well as the subject. I'm new to dslr and I realize how much I hate taking photos against the windows. 😅 So much to learn and I hope my patience can keep up.
I hear you 😊 Being a real photographer is challenging and requires lots of skills. You can’t just point and shoot like iPhones. But don’t let the iphone photo get you :)) They are not the best and can’t ever beat DSLRs
How many watts of continuous light did you use?
This was a 100watts light at 10,000 lumen. I was on full power since it was so bright outside
Some times I had same problem to decide between to take a silhouette or get everything like in HDR. In case you want second option you can use many things to provide light on subject as a white paper, a shirt, a blanket, etc. etc. Of course a real HDR is a solution for those who want everything like me :) Any how, silhouette is an artistic option to be considered. Thanks, for tips so helpful given by you.
Thank you for sharing some tips and I fully agree with you. In most cases new photographer always focus on adjusting the exposure to the subject. Specially newbie natural light photographers. It’s not like I haven’t done that mistake 😂
Thank you madam
My pleasure 😇
Another idea would be to take the picture both ways and combine them 😁
Of course :) That’s what I used to to when I didn’t have a light.
Omg, I totally accidentally found your channel while looking for tips that you give in this video. I am from Ukraine, live in the US and my first girlfriends name back in kinder garden was Yulia Panchenko. I found another one. Lmao.
Well I am glad you found my channel and hope you watch more videos here and get into photography 😋 apparently there are some other Yuliya Panchenko’s out there :) My dad is Ukrainian but I was born and raised in Baku, Azerbaijan. If you ever come down to Orlando area for your vlogs, feel free to stop by 🤗
Nice and direct! Perfect video that shows many great options. When I have shot this style before, and I didn't have a light or reflector, I shot two images with my camera on a tripod. One of the scene outside of the window and then one of my model subject posing in the window. Then I just masked and made adjustments to the image blend in photo shop. More work, indeed, but compositing can be another option. Love your videos =)
Thank you so much 😊 I actually use that technique for my wide shot landscape wedding photos. I take two shots, with light and without, and mask it out. It’s a great technique :)
Magnificent videos. Perfectly done 👍✅. You are very brilliant in many blessings. Happy Saturday 😊. Huge Hugs 🤗.
Hey Anthony! thank you so much for your comment. You are one of my first subscribers here on RUclips :)
@@yuliyapanchenko . You are very welcome.
This is really helpful information, thanks!
Thank you for watching 🤗
Your videos are getting better and better, I like your evolution! I loved the third "silhouette" tip as I'm a fan of "getting the most of what you have". Congratulations Yuliya😊
Thank you so much. I think your videos are getting better and better too. When are we making a video together? :)
@@yuliyapanchenko thanks very much dear Yuliya, we'll certainly make one whenever you'll happen to be in Italy or myself in Florida😊 It'd be very interesting to see what comes up❤
@@ClaudioDesideriFilms I am totally down for Italy :)
@@yuliyapanchenko Deal! Rome is waiting for you with open arms and wide aperture!😜😜
diosa
Gracias :)
Another way is to expose the ambient(background in this case) 1-2 stops down at the aperture needed for the background being inside the DOF for the subject. Stopped down, will require a slow shutter speed for such as 1/10 sec.. Once that meters properly for the background, add flash in BL("balanced" light mode and REAR Curtain flash triggering) to expose the subject. Be sure to have the the window at an angle so flash reflected light does not alter the flash power.. If the background is not against a window, you can ignore the angle suggestion.
This technique is useful for events where you want room light properly exposed so the background scene or action properly exposed but the flash lighting the only the subject. This is very effective and easy to balance the room exposure to the near subject.. You can drop to even lower speeds if you would like the background action with light trails showing motion. The flash power falls off very quickly with distance so flash does not contribute to the background exposure. but the subject is properly exposed. and any motion of the subject is frozen by the the short flash duration..
The term for this is Dragging the Shutter. When done as described the room is well exposed and can look like a well lit room or daylight so it does no look like a flash shot at all.
Be sure to under expose background 1-2 stops before turning on the flash or the subject will be under exposed.
It sounds more complicate than it is and can be used in many applications like clubs. real estate or weddings where the different light colors and looks, such as strobes and lasers in a dance club or wedding reception to look natural You subject needs to be closer to you than the background scene.
Thank you so much for the great tips 🤗
Can we appreciate that she is exposed just right? 😊
What would happen if you used a flash? I just started RUclips university for photography.
You can get similar results with flash, but you may have lots of reflections in the window and some hard shadows because flashes are more powerful. Flashes just need more control than this continuous light.
I assure you, a lot of people are exposed on -not- your face neither the background.
❤️❤️❣️❣️👏👏🌹🌹💌💐💐
Thank you 😊
@@yuliyapanchenko 💐💐❤️❤️ u're welcome
Thanks your idea #JADHUG
You are welcome!
My princess is always great information, you are always very beautiful
Thanks :)
I thought my screen was dirty until I realized that you had debris on the lens because of the dark spot on the video.
I have a dirty videographer 😂😂😂
Hi a off camera flash will also work?
Hello! Absolutely will work. Just be aware of strong reflection in window. Play with the position and control the light so it doesn’t reflect on the background.
@@yuliyapanchenko thank you test test test till it's 100%
@@samuelwebster2769 yes 😜 Thanks for the question btw 🤗
@@yuliyapanchenko it's something I have struggled with in the past but my search found you and this post.. One also needs to do it often otherwise you get rusty..
@@samuelwebster2769 that’s true! I shoot everyday but mostly I use artificial light. What do you like to photograph?
I thought the bit where you said “a silhouette image is a photographic style, but an overexposed image is just a bad image” was somewhat funny. Why can’t a properly exposed face with blown out background be a photographic style too?
Thanks for your comment Oliver. Of course that could be as well. I do lots of semi-silhouette photos or airy style, but it is done intentionally. This video is for beginners and majority of the beginners don’t balance the light because they never pay attention to the background and only focus on the subject. A professional photographer or cinematographer will always balance the colors and light and then stylize it by adjusting the intensity of the light and camera settings to achieve the look they are going for. In my example in this video, it would just be an over exposed image and really no style to it, but in different outfits and environment it could be a style :)
@@yuliyapanchenko Right, I think we mostly agree, and you give good advice. I just think beginners should also be encouraged to experiment with unconventional lighting conditions, but they should perhaps be advised that it's harder to get a result that most people find pleasing. Maybe they'll find a niche they like and incorporate it into their style.
When I was a beginning photographer (I'm not professional now by any definition of the word, just a more experienced hobbyist), I was always told to avoid backlit conditions, but the great majority of my current landscape shots are backlit. The pictures turn out much more interesting.
Great channel, by the way!
@@oliverracz2686 Thanks for your kind reply. What you say is true, but you know how education is. Learn the rules and once mastered them, break them lol Also the topic of my video is “how to get the right exposure in front if a window” so I am only talking about getting the proper exposure. If you look at my images on Instagram: @ypboudoir, I shoot a lot in front of the window and I always blow it out because I don’t want what’s behind me window to be shown. I would if I was living in a high rise in Manhattan :) In another video I will show different ways to shoot in front of the window for boudoir :)
@@oliverracz2686 If you have control of negative light such as black fabric covered V-Flats to reduce the "air" loss of contrast the blown out background can look good with the subject having more contrast. In someone's bedroom draping black fabric
outside the frame can reduce air also.
We are not media person who will keep a light with us for photo clicks
This tutorial is for photographers.
Flash ??
This was continuous light, but flash would work even better because it’s more powerful. This was a live demo, so you can see how we used the continuous light to adjust the balance.
As a photographer, everything she said is correct, But I must admit, I like the silhouette. 😁
Thank you so much! It means a lot to receive a nice comment like this from a photographer :)
1way more , take 2 photo , 1 model , 1 backgr , meg in PTS
Possible, but not for me because I am not a photography editor :)
@@yuliyapanchenko 😘😘
Are you from China?
Russian/Ukrainian in Florida, U.S.A :)
Hi Yuliya. Honestly I don't like this video very much, but what I like are you posing videos. You are absolutely brilliant in explaining and walking the model and audience thru the poses. I would love to see more of that content. And just in case you come to Europe(Germany) it would be great to have a workshop ;-)
Hello! 2 years later I just see this comment :)) Sorry to hear you didn’t like the video, but at least I can say in the 2 years I have loooots of more videos on posing 😜
That's an expensive solution
My light is expensive but it can be done with any light. There are many cheaper lights out there that do the same job. It’s the technique that solved the problem not the brand of the light.
Switch on flash 😂😂
Makes a big reflection on the window :) But regardless of the light source, you need to expose the background first and then add the light source, so matter what kind of light it is.
You never see male boudoir photography
I actually did a video on male boudoir photography :) ruclips.net/video/L5oV13HKT8g/видео.html
Lol your shirt looks like noise 😂😂😂
Like shooting at 12,800 ISO 😂
