    Last time I shared a portrait photography composition tips video with a 35mm focal length: • Composition Tips for P... and in that video you guys requested this version! So I hope you enjoy seeing some of the composition tips I use when taking portraits on an 85mm lens. I am using the Sony GM 85mm f1.4 on the full frame Sony A7iii. Let me know if you want to see another composition tips video and what focal length you'd like to see :)

    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.

    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

    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 😍

    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!

      @@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.
