    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.

    • @carljordan4515
      @carljordan4515 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes ,also she have so much positive energy which make her videos so appealing!!

    • @Grant_Ferstat
      @Grant_Ferstat ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just a genuine, professional person who wants to connect with the model and isn't full of herself.

    • @gyurxi551
      @gyurxi551 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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?

  • @aboynamedjamil
    @aboynamedjamil 3 ปีที่แล้ว +121

    This model really is fantastic. Her movement is on time and effortless. Also your tips are great.

  • @ryanpuff

    I love the simple location. Gives it a relatable feel. Make any location beautiful, you don't need something extravagant to capture a moment🙂

    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.

  • @hasinakassam
    @hasinakassam 3 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    amazing tips and what an amazing model!! i love how she just seamlessly changes her pose after each shot.

    The lines through the face is a good point. I feel like not many would notice this!

    • @YariJaluff
      @YariJaluff 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      She said that and then she shows lots of her photos with the garage lines in the back in the middle of the head

    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!

    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!

    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!

  • @TutorialsForMom
    @TutorialsForMom 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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 🥹

    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!

    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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam 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.

    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! ❤️

    Both did an awsome job. So fullnof great tips. I'm just getting started in portrait photography but it's so much harder then creative which I've shot before. Beacuse no live objects that must look alive in the shots. But still a ton of fun and already looking forward to getting out and shoot some more portraits 🙏
