Hi and thank you for sharing this shoot! I would love to see another video on couples photography that discusses more about what kind of lenses to use and at which aperture to make sure the focus is right :)
Lolol wow I love this video. Other than loving Julia I gotta say this couple was awesome & completely natural in front of the camera. Their love was clearly displayed here. if they don't make you wana get married or renew your vows then I don't what will.
Wow what a beautiful variety of settings and tones you’ve captured! So natural and lovely. I have that same HM sweater. My favorite. Looks so cute on you!
so you came to the UK & didnt come by & say hello... haha... I hope you enjoyed our lovely spring ... Glasgow botanic gardens is such a cool place to shoot , the greenhouses make for interesting backgrounds.. loved all the shots , you captured them so well..
Thanks for sharing it was Nice to see How you handled their poses and such. I definetely learned something there! ☺️ I do prefer the RAW’s more but that is more a personal opinion. The top down shots in the flower fields were awesome!
Julia thanks for sharing this behind the scenes look at directing your couples! I do seniors and kids and families and events , so couples is new to me! I learned a lot!
Really enjoying this channel - very skilled photographer and videographer, very generous to let us see a whole shoot and how you relate to the clients/models, and approach posing and angles.
Thank you! I usually focus on the face or eyes that is supposed to be the main focus of the image, for example when they were standing side by side and Tamer was looking at the camera and Matt was kissing her forehead, I would focus on Tamer's eyes. If they are both the focus of the photo, then I just pick whichever one and make sure I keep them both at the same distance away from the lens so they can both be in focus.
What in your opinion is the best focus mode to shoot couples or families with ? Sometimes I feel like I get one person in focus and not the other one when shooting couples. My little focus square with get one person and not the other
Great ideas for couples shoot with locations and poses. I was wondering how you get such sharp focus shooting at 1.4---I have the Sigma 35 1.4 and I'm hesitant about shooting so wide open with 2 people.
I think the key is keep moving to try and keep both faces the same distance from your camera. So if you focus on one person's face or eyes. And then recompose. At the same time you're recomposing. And maybe even at the same time the other person is moving. You're moving to keep both faces the same distance from you. This is why it's easier to shoot with blurry backgrounds with just two people then it is with a group. The more faces you have. And the more differences there are between the camera and the different faces. The higher aperture number, and smaller aperture diameter you need.
Yeah, your probably right. But with F1.4 I’d say it’s a bit risky when both faces should be totally in focus. But, I reacted also on that there is not much bokeh in these pictures. Shouldn’t it be a little bit more with that F stop?
Frank Surdal she’s using a 35mm so even at 1.4 the background isn’t going to be too crazy compressed. It keeps the scene in the picture. Plus a lot of these pic were take close to their backgrounds so that doesn’t help with trying to blur lol
Everyone hit the nail on the head, I have my focus point on one of their eyes and made sure to keep their faces the same distance from the camera. The 35 also makes that a little easier, I would bump up my aperture if I was using an 85 😊
Oh... can't describe how much I enjoyed this video! Beautiful atmosphere, stunning photos... you are an incredible photographer! Thank you for doing this :)
Julia, you'r photo-shoot's are always great and there is always something to learn from it, i like it, if you can answer one thing, like even most of photos are taken at F1.4, why both object are in focus?, i would like to hear from you.
Thank you! There is a little more leeway with depth of field on the 35mm lens at 1.4 compared to say an 85mm at 1.2. I also make sure to keep them both at the same distance away from my camera/lens while taking photos to make sure they're both in focus :)
I love your work Julia. so beautiful pictures. i like the unedited a little more, but i think 3 of them with that preset was perfect. That's just my preference. keep up the good work Julia.
i love all your works and watch your videos it inspires me to bring out my passion in photography thankyou for sharing all your works...your amazing and great person...😘😘
Question, for the shots that their heads aren't close together, who do you focus on? wouldn't one be sharper than the other especially at f1.4? Or do you not focus on the faces for these type of shots?
I make sure to keep them both at the same distance away from my camera/lens to make sure they can both be in focus! You also have a lot more leeway on a 35mm at 1.4 compared to something like an 85mm at 1.2 Hope that helps :)
I recently shot my sister and her new boyfriend and I completely was not ready to shoot them haha. I felt awkward as hell. It's super interesting to see the different vibe you can get out of shooting couples VS individual portraits. Thanks for sharing with us Julia! :)
XxxXEraYXxxX thank you! It’s all just personal preference 😊 I like the edited ones more as I wanted a washed out/vintage look specifically for these photos.
Hi Julia, How often do you crop your images? I’ve just bought my 35mm lens and I always have a feeling that “there is too much background, I should crop the image” and so on. I came fro aps-c eorld, so I am still learning using the 35 with FF body, so I don’t know whether the crop is really necessary or not.
I crop maybe 5% of my 35mm images - so not much at all! The ones I crop are usually shots I've taken while walking so the composition wasn't perfect. If you're used to closer crops then the 35mm might take some getting used to, but I think it's a very flattering and interesting focal length for portraits :D
Thank you! A couple of reasons, first one being practice! The next is high shutter speed, having my focal point in the correct spot (for walking shots I normally put it around someone's neck/chest area as it's a larger spot for the camera to focus on while everyone is moving around so much) and I shoot in one-shot mode :) I have a couple of videos up on my channel about focusing in case you're interested!
I recently found your account and all your videos and information are so good, thank you for sharing so much with us who are so keen to learn! Sorry if you have answered this before, do you shoot full manual in these situations or with one of the other modes?
I like to shoot with a wide aperture of 1.4 for depth of field and bokeh, it means that it lets a lot of light into the camera. So for the photo to not be overexposed, I have to raise my shutter speed :) Also, just in case: some crop cameras also only go up to 1/4000 Hope that helps!
I love the sound of the camera I get asmr every time you click the button
I love the Raw and Unedited Pictures.... ❤
Tris Wantoro same

Great job
But the actual photos are great compared to the edited ones
I think it’s just a matter of personal preference. I loved the edited ones. It gave it a different feel.
Really enjoying this channel - very skilled photographer and videographer, very generous to let us see a whole shoot and how you relate to the clients/models, and approach posing and angles.
Great clicks and awesome place for photoshoot. That white flowers background was so good. 👌👌👌
Thank you!!
how do you focus when they are walking ? thx for this amazing work
I love these natural looking poses!
Awesome work. Can you add which lens you used for each picture as well?
I love the unedited one... Diff..pple...diff..taste
this shoot is sooooooooo cuuuuuuttteeeeee 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Great job Thank you for sharing!.
I love the yellow flower shots laying down!!
Thank you! I think those were my favourites too 😄
Beautiful video Julia .... its such a delight to watch you shoot. When you shoot at f1.4 with couples, which eyes/face do you focus on?
Thank you! I usually focus on the face or eyes that is supposed to be the main focus of the image, for example when they were standing side by side and Tamer was looking at the camera and Matt was kissing her forehead, I would focus on Tamer's eyes.

Hi I love your work. It will helps me for my shoot tomorrow
I don't know why but I enjoyed the raw pictures more than the edited ones. Great shots though❤
How are you keeping them both in sharp focus at 1.4 ?! I usually shoot couples at 2 or 2.2 for fear of one of them being out of focus 😩
Raw and unedited was looking nice
Where do you focus for multiple subjects?
Love your channel, very inspirational for someone starting with my own channel just now
Thank you so so much. I’ve been looking for these types of videos all day yesterday! I appreciate it so much. You’re incredible.
Arianna DeCarolis thank you!
@Julia, do you use Eye AF when shooting a couple? Or on which focus mode do you stay? :)
Superb as always !!!
Ooo it's just so beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I really loved this video. It was fun to watch this video.
Julia do you have any videos explaining focusing on the couple at 1.4 without one being in more focus then the other ect. ?
You, my friend, is an awesome photographer. Love the shots!
Thank you! 😊
Oh... can't describe how much I enjoyed this video! Beautiful atmosphere, stunning photos... you are an incredible photographer! Thank you for doing this :)
Thank you! 💛

So jealous it’s sweater weather where you are and it’s like 90 degrees where I live. 😫😫😫 Also, beautiful work and amazing video as always
I personally can't think when it's so cold haha I definitely prefer the warmth! 😂😅
Do you most the time leave your focal point in the center?
I'm gonna try each n every pose with my client.
Thanks you.
U're doing great ♥️
When you edit , your photos on light, did you always put up your Contrast??
Or??
Julia :D What are the flower in 08:45? Beautiful couple and location! I can't stop giggling they're so sweet and cute!
hi Julia, i notice that all the pictures are at f1.4, does that pose a problem getting both faces in focus in your experience?
Did you use the Canon 35mm lens for the walking shots? If not, which lens did you use?
Yep same lens for the whole video!
Julia..wow...so bomb this photoshoot😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you!! 💛💛
These are super cute
I recently shot my sister and her new boyfriend and I completely was not ready to shoot them haha. I felt awkward as hell. It's super interesting to see the different vibe you can get out of shooting couples VS individual portraits. Thanks for sharing with us Julia! :)
Thanks you for the video agian
XxxXEraYXxxX thank you! It’s all just personal preference 😊 I like the edited ones more as I wanted a washed out/vintage look specifically for these photos.
I agree, I like the edited ones. There’s something about vintage photos that’s just magical and tells such a story...all about preference
Amazing coverage and before and after pictures!
Do you use any for of lens filter when shooting?
Christian Santizo thank you! I have a UV filter on all my lenses but it doesn’t change the way the images look at all, it’s just to protect my lenses.
Hi Julia,
How often do you crop your images? I’ve just bought my 35mm lens and I always have a feeling that “there is too much background, I should crop the image” and so on. I came fro aps-c eorld, so I am still learning using the 35 with FF body, so I don’t know whether the crop is really necessary or not.

If you're used to closer crops then the 35mm might take some getting used to, but I think it's a very flattering and interesting focal length for portraits :D
Some nice shots,just wanted to ask how you can walk and shoot at the same time and get sharp images.Always love watching your videos.
High shutter speed?
Thank you! A couple of reasons, first one being practice! The next is high shutter speed, having my focal point in the correct spot (for walking shots I normally put it around someone's neck/chest area as it's a larger spot for the camera to focus on while everyone is moving around so much) and I shoot in one-shot mode :) I have a couple of videos up on my channel about focusing in case you're interested!
Any reason why you chose to use the Canon as opposed to your Sony camera?
Color and lenses. No brainier.
Loved it!
i like all of them
JULIAAAAAAA I LOVEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I recently found your account and all your videos and information are so good, thank you for sharing so much with us who are so keen to learn!
Sorry if you have answered this before, do you shoot full manual in these situations or with one of the other modes?
Thank you so much! I always shoot in manual :)
Really I like your work ! Tell me if you pass near Paris and we'll love to make a photoshoot with my wife ;)
In the walking scene, i think it's better to use the purple flowers as foreground. Great shots though
Hi I am newly get into the photography so I have a doubt, in some photos you use 8000 shutter why? I didn't understand can explain please!
I like to shoot with a wide aperture of 1.4 for depth of field and bokeh, it means that it lets a lot of light into the camera. So for the photo to not be overexposed, I have to raise my shutter speed :) Also, just in case: some crop cameras also only go up to 1/4000 Hope that helps!
@@juliatrotti thank for clearing my doubts thank you :-)
Love it 😍😍❤️
Wow!how I wish to have a camera like that....sooooon!
Love your videos ❤️ You speak very cleary, so I can also learn English.
Thank you so much!
