This is by far the most impressive photography video that I have seen on RUclips. I couldn't take my eyes away from the clip. You're such a talented photographer and model. This is also the first time I've seen a photographer shoots herself. The Sony app on the phone is simple yet very efficient. Perfect!
i already loved you, but now, after seeing that you let your sweet cat keep "her" blanket and worked around her? now i ADORE you!!! ☺ such sweetness. Oh, and also great content!! ;)
Yet another good video. I always wanted to know how to take pictures in front on the mirror. With the bts this makes it easier for me to understand. Thank you so much for uploading and sharing your creative ideas!
I love your vids about self-portraits, they’re so inspiring! You’re not only a great photographer but also model!!💛 Btw, what Joby tripod are you using? Is it worth buying for traveling?
i love when you're using the lensbaby omni filter! i fell in love with it since your review, but still couldn't get my hands on it. great video as always, julia ♥
The close up of your dress on your face actually looks like Edward’s vampire skin when he comes in the sunlight - from twilight! It’s actually pretty cool!!😍
Creative stuff !!! All are nice, but my favorites were the first ones in the harsh sunlight with the triangle of light on the wall. I'm a sucker for angles.
I really learned a lot on how you play with sunlights and your creative framing :) And also the way you explain your ways about photography makes it really simple and easy to understand for a newbie like me. Thank you so much!
I'm glad to seeing you using that camera! I have the Sony a6400 but I need more lenses. My favorite photos were the ones with the rainbow sparkles * _ *
I consider myself a beginner with a really nice camera. (A7III) I absolutely love your videos for inspiration, insite, and your love of"natural light".
Loved these ideas Julia - went to Spotlight today to grab some sequin fabric, and got some pretty strange looks - especially after insisting the fabric was in fact for me not my daughter :)
Loved it. I don´t know why but the last ones are always my favorite. Superb portraits. Great content. Bring more this creative vídeos. Thank you Julia awesome work. 🍀🌻
Julia Trotti hey sorry for strange reply but ur photography help did help me out and I could figured out my own style and I could post it on Instagram too.... Tnx for ur advice. Kinda now I can start from now self photography... Tnx
Yep I was really pleasantly surprised! It felt like my A7III in a crop body, I'm going to create a comparison video about these 2 bodies really soon too :)
@@juliatrotti Would love to see more ❤️ I know you're a portrait photographer but is there a chance you can sneak in some landscape or seascape shots in that video as well. just a humble request since these happen to be my fields of interest 😊Thanks in advance!
These were such cute ideas! Also, love how considerate you were of your cat lol. Which speaking of, I'd love it if you did some pictures with or of your cat! I've been taking a LOT of photos of my cat while I've been staying inside and it's been really fun and challenging. I know it's not really what you do, but just a thought :) Lovely content as always!
Thank you so much! Haha she never wants to be in my videos so I wanted to make the most of it that she decided to fall asleep right there 😂 and yesss I would love to do that!! I've been taking lots of photos of Evie during this time as well so a video about that would be fun.
I always appreciate your videos. They are so straight-forward without a ton of jargon which is super helpful. I love that you're using the a6600 since that's what I have. I have a question, I was trying to do self-portraits with the Sigma 30mm 1.4 with interval shooting and the focus was way off. I'm thinking the depth of field was just too narrow, but I'm wondering if you would ever use interval shooting instead of the app/self-timer? If you use the interval shooting, how does the focus do for you?
Thank you so much, that makes me really happy to hear 😊 I've done interval shooting before which is really handy, I didn't want to use it for these self portrait videos as I don't think that's a feature available in a lot of cameras so wanted to keep it more simple/achievable. I can't remember but I don't think it re focuses when doing interval shots, which is maybe why you have a lot OOF shots? I would personally bump up the aperture so it's not as shallow and then try to keep myself at the same distance from the camera for that set of photos with interval shooting - hope that helps!
Excited to see you getting the hardware hookup with Sony. That said, the Sony APS-C lenses are kinda meh overall with a few nice standouts like the new 16-55 f2.8. The Sigma 16, 30 and 56 f1.4 really have made the A6K series shine for those who like primes.
I own both the Sigma 16 and 56, and the Sony 35. Since I am not a typical prime shooter I use them very seldom. The Sony 16-70 Z have been what I used 90%of the time. It's rather weak, Two months ago I bought the 16-55 2.8, due the corona situation I have not taken many pictures with it yet.
Loooove Julia!!! all of these shots were so stunning! I just realised why isn't 5sec timer a thing on more cameras!? 2sec is too short and 10 is too long haha.
Thank you! Yeah I was really excited to use this camera as I noticed a lot of people who watch my videos use Sony crop bodies, will definitely make some more videos with this setup :)
Julia Trotti did they send you an a6100? I’d love to see that one! I’m interested in getting that for filming... currently I’m using a Sony A7 mark 1, and the autofocus during video is unreliable.
Thank you!! I bought it many many years ago so I don't have a link for it anymore unfortunately. I want to order some new ones though, so when they arrive I'll leave links for them in my future videos :)
Hello! Thank you for this video! it would be great if you shot a video about Sony 6600 in conjunction with a 18-35 sigma lens, if you have one) I was interested to see how Sony autofocus works with this lens.
Maybe you can do a macro vid if you haven't already? I was looking at your lens collection there and notice you don't have a dedicated lens for that. I'd assume you do some macro at your weddings, so it would be nice to see what strategies you employ if/when the need arises :)
Ooh that would be really interesting and something different from me! I actually don't really do much macro stuff at weddings, shots of the rings and jewellery I like to do more of a set up for that rather than just getting in super close to the rings. But I would love to give this a go!
When I only looked at your pictures, I was wondering how you managed to get the camera off the pictures...From the angle it looks as if it was very close to you. Then I could see the leg of the tripod on one of the pictures and that gave it away. :) Wonderful, really creative shots! :) Love them all.
Loved the video .. the addition of the sequence was really smart ( just concerned about why you have so many sequence outfits 😁 just kidding ) really cool shots with the blinds as well ... as always a job well done 💯%
Neat. I'm looking to getting this camera. Sony NZ charges NZ$3,499 for the kit version (lens incl.) but waiting for retailers to drop the price and for me to save up for it. Will get it no later than October. Will use it for mainly RUclips 4k videos and some photos. Currently use my Samsung Galaxy S10+.
Great video, not only a very talented photographer but a beautiful model. I've loved these self portraits videos. What phone software do you use to remotely take the photographs, is it Sony Imaging Edge Mobile?
Just got a A6400 and a Sigma 30mm lens! These videos are inspiring!
yes. I love seeing people use gear that I can actually afford. :D
I don't see where this camera is affordable 😅. But I'm glad you can afford it :)
If you can afford this you can definitely afford a7lll as well so go for a7lll if you intend to buy one.
@@mingmarlama7987 but full frame lenses are expensive
Not only a good photographer but also a good model, Julia. This is so inspiring.

Wow so beautiful pics just love your pictures 😍🥰
I LOVE the sparkly effects! 😍 I need to get me some sequenced clothe and fabric.
Yet another good video. I always wanted to know how to take pictures in front on the mirror. With the bts this makes it easier for me to understand. Thank you so much for uploading and sharing your creative ideas!
Oh my gosh it’s so hard to decide! I loved the mirror shots so much!! You’re so creative 🥰❤️
Thank you so much!!
All of your self-portrait pictures are so beautiful, but I love the last one! So amazing!!!
OkY definitely trying the mirror poses ! So creative ! Love it
I love your vids about self-portraits, they’re so inspiring! You’re not only a great photographer but also model!!💛 Btw, what Joby tripod are you using? Is it worth buying for traveling?
Thank you so much! I bought mine a few years ago now so the product names have changed, but it's the equivalent to the current GorillaPod 3K PRO :)
I looove your self portrait shots! You can actually be an actual model too. You look very good in front of the camera.
As always, amazing self portraits, can't wait to see more. even when they finally let us out :) Good work !
Thank you so much 😀
i love when you're using the lensbaby omni filter! i fell in love with it since your review, but still couldn't get my hands on it. great video as always, julia ♥
Yesss it's so good, I'm guilty of not taking it out enough but I want to use it at least a little bit at more of my shoots in the future
These are SO cool this is exactly what I was looking for. Love your personality as well ❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
Awww can't wait to watch!! I love taking self portraits ❤️
Yay hope you enjoy!!
The close up of your dress on your face actually looks like Edward’s vampire skin when he comes in the sunlight - from twilight! It’s actually pretty cool!!😍
Another perfect video
Creative stuff !!! All are nice, but my favorites were the first ones in the harsh sunlight with the triangle of light on the wall. I'm a sucker for angles.
Thank you!
Cat and photo content in one single video! My two favourite things about the internet combined :-)
Mine too 😂thank you!
Thanks for sharing all of these fabulous & creative self portrait ideas..esp loved the sequins, mirrors & blinds shots x
Thanks so much! 😊
Great video as always from you both Cat so cute
You are too kind thank you!
I really learned a lot on how you play with sunlights and your creative framing :) And also the way you explain your ways about photography makes it really simple and easy to understand for a newbie like me. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much!
OMG This is your best video ever !! Do more videos with self portraits !!
Cat owners know that when there's a cat sleeping on you, you have you call out of work and cancel all your plans. You mustn't disturb the fur babies!
It's an unspoken rule! 😂🥰
I'm glad to seeing you using that camera! I have the Sony a6400 but I need more lenses. My favorite photos were the ones with the rainbow sparkles * _ *
Thank you so much!
love love love!! so easy, clean but effective shots
Thanks so much! 😊
The colors are so clean! Love your editing!
Thank you so much!!
Heyy Yes she is amazing & I loved your work tooo❤️
Absolutely loving your self portrait videos during lockdown. First day out of lockdown for us here in NZ today
Thank you so much! Yep things are easing up here in Australia too, I'm so excited to get back behind the camera again haha
In love with these photos. Lovely click especially with the Mirror one.
Thank you!
I consider myself a beginner with a really nice camera. (A7III) I absolutely love your videos for inspiration, insite, and your love of"natural light".
Thank you so much!
You're the motivation for those who don't have anyone to click their photos 😂❤️
Haha we can do it on our own! 💛
I appreciate your creative style. Amazing work : )
Loved these ideas Julia - went to Spotlight today to grab some sequin fabric, and got some pretty strange looks - especially after insisting the fabric was in fact for me not my daughter :)
Haha yess! Enjoy using them 😄
That crystal idea was great and the mirror one too 📷🔥
Thank you 😄
Gran fotógrafa, me encantan tus autoretratos
Hey you are so creative dude✨❤️ I just love all of your portraits❤️
Thank you!
amazing as always...ll love to see a session on your self portrait with you wearing some gorgeous partywear kind a princess
Loved it. I don´t know why but the last ones are always my favorite. Superb portraits. Great content. Bring more this creative vídeos. Thank you Julia awesome work. 🍀🌻
Thank you so much 😀 I really appreciate it
Julia: decides to use reflective clothing and objects
Brandon Woelfel: **wants to know your location**
I struggle with self portrait but kinda using this video and it’s somewhat helping
Keep at it! I find it hard to take self portraits as well sometimes, I just kept practicing until I improved 😊
Julia Trotti hey sorry for strange reply but ur photography help did help me out and I could figured out my own style and I could post it on Instagram too.... Tnx for ur advice. Kinda now I can start from now self photography... Tnx
6:44 is an amazing photo 😍 that’s soo cool
Thank you!!
this is actually a really capable camera, I've never thought much about crop sensors but this changed my mind
Yep I was really pleasantly surprised! It felt like my A7III in a crop body, I'm going to create a comparison video about these 2 bodies really soon too :)
@@juliatrotti Would love to see more ❤️ I know you're a portrait photographer but is there a chance you can sneak in some landscape or seascape shots in that video as well. just a humble request since these happen to be my fields of interest 😊Thanks in advance!
Was so excited upon seeing a new upload from Julia re self portraits I literally jumped outta bed
Haha aw thank you!
Lovely
Julia these look amazing!!!!! Wow
Ahh thank you!
Great video you make a beautiful model and I also like the back lit sign on the background
Thank you very much!
Great photos 🥰

Wowwww awsome .. thank for these amazing tips
I bought the presets and I love them, They’re so beautiful 🔥
Aw yay thank you, that makes me so happy to hear! 🙌
Julia very nice work and pretty shots ❤
Thank you!
Some interesting ideas and some great shots!

Love this...you are beautiful as well. I have the 6500, so I especially enjoyed this content! I might have to get a few more presets now!
Thank you so much!
Props to her not disturbing her cats peace lol.
brilliant shots!!
Great video Julia - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent
very inspiring
Thank you!
Great tips as always. And I love that you used an APS-C camera for this shoot, as well!
Thank you! Yeah I was really excited to use this camera as I noticed a lot of people who watch my videos use Sony crop bodies, will definitely make some more videos with this setup :)
Julia Trotti did they send you an a6100? I’d love to see that one! I’m interested in getting that for filming... currently I’m using a Sony A7 mark 1, and the autofocus during video is unreliable.
The video feels chill and relaxed, just like hanging out on your girl.
wow.. excelent..
Really great shots, thank you!
Thank you too!
The reflection shots thoo!!
Haha thank you!
Loveee the self portrait vids
Thank you 😄
Loving the self portrait videos 😍
Glad you like them!
This looks amazing! What app are you using to control the camera?
I need to know too! :)
Thank you! I'm using Sony's Imaging Edge Mobile app, I have a quick tutorial about how to use it on my channel if you wanted to see :)
So creative, great job!
Thank you! 😊
beautiful model .
Amazing tricks 💋💋
Very cool ! Loved your creativity ! :)
Thank you!
Wow girl...you always impress me...♥️♥️
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it :)
Girll as much as i love seeing u with ur videos and photos... unfortunately im not as photogenic as u are... 😢
Hi Julia, beautiful images! What app are you using to control the shutter-release on your mobile?
Sony's official app - Imaging Edge
Love love love, Where did you get that backdrop fabric?
Thank you!! I bought it many many years ago so I don't have a link for it anymore unfortunately. I want to order some new ones though, so when they arrive I'll leave links for them in my future videos :)
Hello! Thank you for this video! it would be great if you shot a video about Sony 6600 in conjunction with a 18-35 sigma lens, if you have one) I was interested to see how Sony autofocus works with this lens.
Thank you and yesss I would absolutely love to do that! I loved using the 18-35 a while back and I've been meaning to use it again :D
@@juliatrotti it would be great, thanks! have a nice day!
Please make MORE self photography videos 😭🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️ its for those like me who want to build online content.
Lovely photos🤩😍😍

and again, like your videos...
This is pretty! Love the slit light self portraits. Was doing my self portraits in quarantine too, if not now then when? :)) Stay safe!
Thank you so much 😄
When I only looked at your pictures, I was wondering how you managed to get the camera off the pictures...From the angle it looks as if it was very close to you. Then I could see the leg of the tripod on one of the pictures and that gave it away. :) Wonderful, really creative shots! :) Love them all.
Haha yeah I thought I could hide the tripod leg with my arm/body but it did pop out in some shots 😅 I'm glad you liked it, thank you!
Loved the video .. the addition of the sequence was really smart ( just concerned about why you have so many sequence outfits 😁 just kidding ) really cool shots with the blinds as well ... as always a job well done 💯%
Ahaha yep I definitely have way too many sequin outfits 😂 thank you so much!
again: YOU ARE SO GOOD AND SO BEAUTIFUL!
and i read to wuick and thought the presets were called grandpa and blueballs...
😂😂😂
Creatively done nice 👍 🥂 cheers
Thanks so much 😊
So gorgeous Julia! 😍
Thank you 💛
Hey! How did you get the lens baby crystals clamped to a stand like that? What did you use? Thanks :) The crystal effect was my fave!!
C clamps and articulating arms from memory. Gaffa tape works in a pinch as well.
Hi Julia. Just wanted to ask what app you used for controlling your camera on your phone? Thank you!
Great video! What's the app your using if I may ask?
Beautiful Model! Beautiful pictures! I love your videos, Julia! WOLF

Love these self portrait videos. Would you consider doing an outdoor one?
Thank you so much and yeah I would love to! I'll try to film one soon :)
