Great content as always Kay❤🙏

[@KayleighJune]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@IzzyPro16]

Hi Kayleigh!
Just discovered your channel and appreciate your advice.
I’ve been shooting against a white wall but always get a shadow behind them- any tips on how I can get rid of that?
My studio is very small

[@KayleighJune]

Hiya, thanks so much! 😊
Usually it's best to have your subject step further away from the wall if possible, it will reduce their shadow on the backdrop. It can be tricky in a smaller space though, so sometimes you can also use a white reflector to fill the shadow from the side. 🙂

What is your Vflat made of, it looks quite thick :D

[@Neichus]

Appreciate you🙏

[@KayleighJune]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@RyanTroy]

Do you feel like TH-cam doesn’t care about beauty photographers anymore? I’ve noticed my views going down and all my other beauty photographers friends channel has been taking a hit with views as well

[@RyanTroy]

Great video though!

[@KayleighJune]

Thank you! I definitely feel that the photography community has been slowly disappearing from TH-cam for a while now, but I guess this tends to happen across many niches/genres on TH-cam! It's always about trying to figure out that next way to pivot. 🙂
