Thank you so much for watching! xx - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Wow the photos are gorgeous and Charlottte is absolutely stunning!
"Yeah! Tree!" - Besides yours, Charlotte's work amazed me too. She is so aware of her movements, almost like a dance in the last sunlight, so dreamy and heartwarming.
Ahaha yeah she's super amazing to work with - it's fun to just get creative and try out some different things with someone who is like minded in the style/look we're going for!
For whatever reason this took me back to my photography 1 class in high school when I had my Nikon FM. It was INCREDIBLY fun!
The look of extreme concentration on your face when manual focussing.
Great video, Julia. I love Pentax vintage lenses.
Kenny Ritchie lmao I know right 😂😂 and thank you!
The bokeh on the 55 looks sooooo DREAMY and the lens flare from the 35 is 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 this video really inspired me to do more manual focus shoots!
Julia have shown us over and over again that it’s the skills that matter most. She can make an excellent image out of ANY lens - prime, zoom, kit , autofocus , manual focus, modern or vintage lens. And I like that she is not a brand ambassador and doesnt annoyingly push products in our face “this is the best lens and this is second best lens” unlike the other photographers out there.
Steven yess I was in love with the 55mm lens 😍😍
Ben Cruz aw thank you so much!! I really appreciate it 😄
What a pics! Oldies but goodies!
i love the closeup portraits with the first lens! looks so dreamy ♥
Thank you!
Magnificent! ❤️
Using Sony cameras with manual focus lenses it is essential to use focus magnifier because focus peaking is not always precise. It takes 1-2 seconds to magnify, check and correct the focus, and press the shutter button. I even shoot events and concerts this way. For portrait sessions it is perfect. Almost no blurry photos at all.
I assigned magnification to the C3 button (Sony A7ii), so I can press it with a thumb while using EVF. You can move the magnification area to be slightly higher than the center of the scene.
I used the magnifier a couple of times, but with portraits and my style of capturing natural movement, by the time I focus, zoom back out and compose the shot, focus would have shifted with both myself and the model even moving the slightest amount. So I had used it a couple of times when I found a frame I really liked and just wanted to make sure it was in focus and I also have it set to the same shortcut too :D
@@juliatrotti Yes, I understand that with movements and shallow depth of field it is kind of hard to zoom all the time :) but for more or less static shots and larger distances the magnifier is perfect. With moving subject and fast lens, it is unavoidable to rely on the "spray and pray" approach. Especially for photos like you did at 08:25 . You've got impressive results in that situation!
Great work and inspired me to use vintage
Te amo Julia!!! I really love your content !! I could spend hours and hours looking at you! great job!
Thank you so much!
That soap bubble bokeh is amazing. I've got the Super Takumar 50mm F1.4 and I love it so much.
What a beautiful shot 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯👏🏽
That's what I started my photo journey with, just looove vintage lenses ❤️ thank you for this subject lots!
Glad you liked it!
This inspires me to use my 35mm Manual Lens I really Love how you always make a Video to show and Teach Us a Lot about Portrait photography😊
A great start to my long weekend with this happy and knowledge sharing video! Love your voice 💕😊
Shashank Kaushik yay thank you!
Beautiful shoot I love it❣️😍
Love vintage lenses. Great video as always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Always loved your behind the scenes videos! You always work so precisely and has helped me get better at portraits! 🙌
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful results Julia! Love the edit you used 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
Hey Julia, WOW ! Those shots with speckles of light on your models face 🥰 so gorgeous. Those orange & green shades 🤩 loooooved it

Another awesome video Julia. Charlotte is very beautiful
Thank you!
✨Gorgeous!! The bokeh was magical!!✨
Thank you and yesss I was obsessed with the 55mm!
Love IT!
Love these photos, Julia! 🤩
Thank you!
I love vintage lenses and the unique look they produce. Nice video as always.
Same here! And thank you so much :)
Yay 😍😍 stunning.. Thank you for sharing.. Love lots ❤️❤️
Thanks so much 😊
Whhaat! These photos are soo heckin sharp and the bokeh is beautiful. Charlotte did amazing too :)
Thank youuu! Yeah Charlotte was amazing 💛
Oh my goodness! How gorgeous are those pictures! You are amazing at capturing such beautiful dreamy warm happy photos! I am seriously considering saving up for a Sony! I have loved your videos and they are always so inspiring. Thank you! I hope you do more like this! 💕
Thank you so much! And this was so much fun to shoot that I definitely want to do it again, have been getting some good vintage lens recommendations and there are also a few I'm keeping an eye on at the moment :D
Julia Trotti yay! I’m so excited to see more! I absolutely love watching your videos! These vintage lenses you used this time was so cool to see and watch! The colors you got from the sun are gorgeous! 🥰
Lovely photos, I love vintage lenses, I use my two Helios 58mm f2 lenses one 44-2 and the other 44-7 and I also use my Canon FDn 50 1.4 and Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm 2.8 sometimes 😊
I’m sooo happy to see so many new videos on your channel! Thank you for your hard work!!😄 I really like the lightning and feel of the pictures you took!🧡 Personally, I really like the look vintage lenses give! I feel like shooting film but digital haha But the only reason why I don’t use it that often is because of manual focus. I feel like I’m too slow at focusing and miss every movement and expression :(
Thank you so much and yes I agree!! It feels like you're shooting film but its on digital - best of both worlds ahaha. I think the more you practice the better/faster you will get, maybe you could take your manual glass out when you go on a roadtrip or a walk or something to just practice taking photos of different things!
Sooo beautiful pictures
Thank you!
Good job 👍 your choice is my choice
Love your work, so talented
Thank you so much!
images look fab
yeyy! Amazing video! Btw, first! :))
Great video! You did awesome with the manual focus and the photos are gorgeous
Thanks so much!
Awesome video!!
Thank you!
Oh I have noticed the exact same thing shooting Manual... it’s nice having that freedom to play with the flare without AF being affected! Great photos :)
Haha yep I definitely went overboard with the lens flares since I don't get to do that all the time 😬
Nice as always ❤️
Thanks 😋
I'm so glad you did this! I recently purchased my mirrorless and my old lens did not auto focus so I was stuck using manual for some time. It was difficult at first but then I learned to appreciate it cause it gives you more control! I had encountered the same issues you did with a couple out of focus shots but eventually I got some good ones. Thanks again for posting! This was so much fun to watch. I would love to see a photshoot with a male model so I can get posing tips on how to pose men. Annnnd you can do the shoot with the vintage lens 🙂. Love your work! 💎 Oh and I would like to know more about white balance.
Thank you so much and that's awesome to hear! I would love to do more of these :) And white balance I always have it on manual, usually around 5000-5500 K
Nice to see you again 😍
I am discovering vintage lenses. I've enjoyed using the Helios 44-2 F.2 lately, mainly for flower photography. However, I am looking forward to having a go at portrait photography.
Beautiful pictures!!!
Thank you 😊
Loving the Vintage Lens Video! :) Thinking of getting either a 85mm or 135mm vintage lens to test those focal lenghts! Super fun lenses especially as an addition to my 50 1.8 stm
Thank you and I would love a 85 or 135 next too!! I wonder how hard it might be to focus them with the method I used for this photoshoot ahaha I might need to use the viewfinder for those lol
Always SO excited to see new content to watch!!! Loved this super pretty images! The Sony shutter is so different sounding, do you ever miss the DSLR sound from the Mark iv? That sound is epic for me !🥰😍
Thank you so much!! To be honest I don't really pay attention to the shutter sound hahaha I think I've heard it so much that I just ignore it 😂
Haha I get that. Just not sure if it will ever get old for me haha. 🤷🏼♀️ Can’t help it!
Hi Julia , Many years ago I loved my Pentax 📷 & lens. Somebody stole it on a subway 😠. Beautiful shots of Charlotte , loved her dress.
Nooo that's so sad, I'm sorry 😔 and thank you!
LOVE your content! You really inspired me to pick my camera back up and start shooting again after a long hiatus. Could you do a video comparing the 35mm and 85mm lenses for portraits??
Thank you so much! And yesss, I may already have a video in the works about that 😬
Vintage or not. Still awesome!!
Excellent channel, thank you Julia !
I have vintage OM ZUIKO 50mm f1.8
Thank you!
Always great videos :) Can I ask how do you record the screen of your camera while shooting? Thanks😊
Amazing video as always!!! Need to shoot more with my vintage lenses 😍 love your presets 😍 I only have the app presets need to get the ones for desktop aswell 🙌🏾
Thank you and yeah I'm the same, I plan on using some vintage lenses more often :D And thank you again!! I'm so glad you like them!
Lovely voice!
The willow pack is calling my name! Your house decor 😍 what do you think of the instax liplay? I’ve been considering a hybrid camera and it seems promising. Polaroids have been my thing this summer lol
Ahh thank you!! I have the liplay and I love it!!! It's so good for when you don't want to "ruin" film and print out something specific haha. I might make a quick video about it soon as an extra upload :D
Beautiful photos! You should try something with swirly bokeh lenses, like with the cheaper Helios 58mm f2 lens (44m-4) :) I also have this lens and it is so much fun to use!
Helios 44_2 58mm f2 is a cool lens to try & so cheap to pick up with a M42 adapter
Thank you and I'll keep an eye out for them!
Masters your videos, I'm a Fan of your work, I can tell what microphone you use?? It sounds beautiful! 😍😍😍
Insane, I was looking 3 days ago about doing that with my old pentax 50mm... Gorgeous photos, I’m tempted now!
Which adaptor were you using Julia?
You should, it was so much fun! I was using a Sony FE to M42 adaptor
Julia Trotti thanks! I thought you were using K mount lenses, M42 is even more vintage 🙂
2:03 This shot is incredible
Thank you!
hey julia! i was wondering if you would recommend the nikon Z7 or sony A6400
I really enjoyed this video with the vintage Pentax lenses. I assume these are Takumar lenses with the M42 screw mount rather than the later K mount lenses? I often use a Canon FD 50mm f1.8 lens with both my Canon 35mm SLRs and Panasonic M4/3 mirrorless cameras. I actually used it at an Alice Cooper concert this year in Adelaide that I received a media pass to (shooting from the photo pit.) That lens is probably 1980s vintage though I also use 1960s and 1970s lenses also. Some time back, I acquired a Canon FD 50mm f1.4 lens and I'm keen to put it through it's paces.
inspiring... keep it up
How do you record the "through the lens" video from your Sony camera? What is that little device attached through HDMI cable? Just curious. Great job on your vids. Thanks!
can you recommend a 4k camera for beginners good for both video and photo please? struggling to choose canon 90d or sony 6600,sony a7c
For me, manual focus has always been a thing for me; that’s mainly how I started taking photos a lot(mainly on film cameras). Manually focusing is great
I feel like I haven't watched one of your video for years now... which might be true, tbh (blush and shame) ... I'm glad to see that Dan and you are still doing a great job and that your business is growing and spreading. Warm hug and kiss to both of you :*
Welcome back haha and thank you :)
Great video! The easiest way to focus with old lenses, in my opinion, is to assign a custom button to “Focus Magnify” (AEL button in my case) and set the focus peaking to a lower level. (Easily accessible in the Fn menu). I compose first and then I fine tune the focus with the eyes area magnified. It seemed quirky at first but the results are awesome even on a portrait shoot an it’s pretty easy to get used to.
Thank you! Yeah I ended up using the magnifier a couple of times when I found a spot I really liked and was getting a wider shot of Charlotte :)
Hey! Lovely photos! Cheers from Argentina! I use a Pentax lens, 55mm 1.8 and I get chromatic aberrations, its a bit old and hasn´t been well cared. I couldn´t see them in your pics, is it because of the lens? Maybe you could talk about them in some next vintage lens video.
Shutter sound ASMR.
Love the small but important details like at 7:45 when her arm seems to be acting as a reflector to fill in the shadowy part of her face. Never thought about that before I saw it in this video.
Yeah it added a nice little extra glow :D
Please do a camera review of new pixel 4a
Also I cracked up at 5:35 at Dan reaching down to tilt the screen toward his camera :')
Yeah, the photos taken with the Pentax 55mm F2 look amazing.
Also, if you get a chance try the Rokkor-PG 58 mm F/1.2 (Minolta SR) especially with F2. It is an awesome lens with dreamy bokeh (from f2).
As always great video. Thank you Julia, keep up the good work!
Sounds good, thanks for the suggestions! I definitely want to do this again so I will keep an eye out for any that I can get my hands on :D
please try some vintage soviet lenses on the fuji please!
I love using vintage lenses on the mirrorless cameras they are so small & lightweight that it feel like you're using a whole different camera compared to using the new lenses.
Yeah me too, I used to use them a lot more when I was travelling more often - this was my first time using it again after a couple of years :)
Julia, how about testing one of the old minolta rokkor 50mm lens. Really enjoy your videos and shooting style
I'll add it to my huge list of vintage lenses I'm keeping an eye out for haha :D Thanks for the suggestion!
Great video as usual 👍🏻 Would you please review the A7s iii? Is its 12mp too low for wedding photography? I'm really intrigued by its low light capabilities as I don't like using any artificial lighting.
Thank you so much and yes I would love to make a review! Dan and I actually have some videos planned for it which we will be making soon - a lot more video orientated since it's a video heavy camera but also some photoshoots on it too :)
im really curious if using a cheap manual lens from 7 artisans, and meike on the sony a7iii, wonder how it'll look
Loved this video, especially the 35mm images
I highly recommend you to try Super-Takumar (or Super-Multi-Coated) 105/2.8 for M42 screwmount. It's a gorgeous lens no one's talking about. It's the one lens I'll never sell.
Thank you and thanks for the suggestions! I have the Super Takumar 55mm f1.8 which I want to use next, I'll have a look into these too.
I also use Sony cameras and manual focus lenses. Focus peaking can be extremely distracting, especially when you have fine detail like trees in the composition and the entire frame lights up! I agree that in moving portraiture like you shoot, magnification is also of very little use. However, I find that in these situations a high resolution EVF like the one found in the A7r4 makes all the difference to focus accuracy. The EVF is so clear that I hardly ever need to use peaking at all, if ever.
My recommendation would be to use as high resolution EVF as possible when manual focusing without peaking or magnification. I do not need the 61mp of the A7r4 but with my collection of manual focus vintage and M mount Voigtlander lenses, I bought it for the EVF only.
what is the exact name of these lenses ? also which adopter i need to use for a7riv ,thank you
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi, could you please write the exact name of the lenses you used? I couldn't find it in the caption
Very cool! I have all my old Pentax lenses but don't know I know use them. What adaptor did you use and where did you get it?
I was using a Sony FE to M42 adaptor, anything similar/budget would work for your camera mount though since it's manual :D
Julia Trotti thank you 😊
The Super Takumar 55mm is basically a perfect lens. If you come across one, you should try it out.
Yess I will keep an eye out for that one! Edit: Wait no I just checked and I have it! haha I will use it next time :D
Whats Is connected to your camera? The black box under with the cable ...
My TH-cam crush!!
Where can we buy these lenses? Any suggestions please 🙏
What is that unit fitted externally to the bottom of your Sony camera?
Like theses pictures a lot! It must have been quite difficult to focus manually without using the view finder. If you like vintage look and manual focus, I can recommend to try the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm 1.2. The bokeh of this lens is amazing and below f2 it's also got a magical "glow", that I like a lot.
Thank you so much and thanks for the suggestion too, I'll keep an eye out for it :D
hola Julia , que tal . podrias decirme cual de estos dos lente te gusto mas , yo tengo una camara amalogica pentax y quiero comparar un lente que este bien . gracias
I definitely preferred the 55mm, there was something so magical about the bokeh from that one, I didn’t want to stop shooting with it!
Oh and my favorite was the one you said was your favorite the light was so beautiful!! I would love to see more vintage lenses!! Where do you get them from looks like a fun idea I might have to try!
Thank you so much! And yes you should, it's a lot of fun. You could get them from ebay/online and some camera stores.
That’s awesome! I will check that out for sure!!
Great idea to try some vintage glass. I can give you some ideas of other lenses that I really enjoy using even for payed jobs.
I also use the Techart Pro AF adapter when I do not have much time for manual focus or I am super tired to do it. It gives me eye AF with MF lenses :).
If I shoot manual focus I always use the viewfinder, the screen is so bad in terms of size and resolution and I find it hard to nail focus without magnifier activated. The EVF is much better!
Peaking - no :) for video yes, but for stills I think that the peaking is not precise and often leads to missed shots.
How about some modern manual focus lenses like the voigtlander 40mm 1.2? or 75mm 1.5?
Yeah for sure! I've got a list of lenses I'm keeping an eye out for, I'll see what I can get my hands on :)
what adaptor you used for this lenses?
btw 5:50 shot is awesome
Thank you! I was using a Sony FE to M42
Great content as always,you should try Helios 40-2. Regards from Serbia!
Thanks! Will do!
wow, the 55mm photos were amazing! where did you get these from?
Looks like there are plenty on eBay.
Thank you!! Yeah I always keep an eye out on ebay, some camera stores also sell vintage glass too :)
How do you record the camera screen?
