If you enjoyed this video, I just shared a video on How to Pose Couples for Photos which you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/sLQDUElb4co/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching!
I literally have my very first shoot with a client that isn't someone I know personally, so I've been nervous about how to direct her, so this video came just in time! So great! I'm hoping I remember these tips, LOL! :D
Your content as a photographer is great, and phenomenal as far as TH-cam videos go. I appreciate finding a creator who actually showcases their craft, and works with a dedicated team. Go you and everybody behind camera... Learning from each video, while enjoying them too!
I almost feel guilty that I have an opportunity to watch this kind of content for free. Thank you, Julia! These kinds of videos with posing and composition tips are absolutely brilliant!
Considering it's advised by TH-cam as one of the best ways to engage your audience at the start of a video. I'd say it's not just you. It's a good sign of a professional who can recognize the importance of following algorithmic data.
Thank you, Julia! This was very helpful. Will you please make one for posing men that are not models. I know you made one a while back but I would love to see more. Your videos are always the best ❤️❤️❤️ thank you!
Great videos! It's late-night / early morning and I've binged quite a few of your videos already. Time to rewatch and take notes =) Thanks for the great tips!
Thank you so much for those tips! Since I‘m only gettin started with portraits, your advice comes in really handy! And I loved the images you captured!
This video saved my butt! I had a shoot with a client that's a friend of a friend and I watched your video and it helped a ton with directing and posing her... the photos cane out great!!! Thank you sm :)
In my opinion one of the best tutorial about this topic; thank you for sharing (the parameter also)! A quick question: which tipe of metering mode dou you use? many tks
7:40 ... use of walls, fences, street lights, in general anything that the model can lean or sit on, or interact in any way, helps a lot. You go from "I have no idea what to do with myself" to situation which is known and safe, and takes model mind from "shit I'm being photographed" to performing some simple tasks :D
Haha I completely agree, standing out in the middle of nowhere with nothing to lean on/sit on/hold can feel very awkward so I love using my surroundings to help people feel more comfortable!
Glad it was helpful! And that's a really good idea, I find I'm the same when I'm watching/learning something, taking down notes really helps cement in in my head haha
thank you for this!! i’m always insecure about posing people (i’m still really starting out with shooting others so i’m only shooting my friends) but these are such great and easy tips to follow!
Wow, your videos are all so helpful! Thank you so much! I have a question about your lightroom presets. I bought one of them as somehow I can't use the intensity regulator in lightroom. I wonder if that is normal, cause with all my other presets it works...?! Anyhow I am a huge fan of your work and learned sooo much from you! Thank you and best wishes from Bavaria, Germany 💐
Julia, thank you so much for this upload! The tips that you give are just the tips that I've been looking for! Keep up the great work as always. Still waiting for upload with a @fujifilm hopefully they can send you a test body and lenses.
Hi Julia. Hope you are doing well as always. Thank you for sharing all these awesome contents. I've been following you for quite a while. You works are really amazing. I love your interesting angles, color grading and without any doubt beautiful models. So, I tried to analyze very closely and figure out what makes your photos so great. Finally realized something. Your cropping (before and after taking the photo) makes the photos standout. I know it comes naturally after years of shooting. However, I would love to see a dedicated video based on cropping techniques/angles; things that you think matter. Say hi to Den. You are amazing. Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much and thanks for the suggestion! A video about composition in my portraits is something that I always get asked about so I would love to work on that :)
Your tips on posing is really great! I especially appreciate your videos about posing "non models". However, in this video, and also in other videos, I find the poses work great for pretty young girls and fashion style photography. But, what if your model is a older person, say in her 40s or 50s? (Many of my friends are ;)) I guess that would require more natural and calmer poses. I would love to see how you would direct and pose her.
Thank you so much! And yes I agree, that the posing I do is more suited for younger clients and you could do similar with a more mature subject and just tone it all down and bring it back a little. I think with these videos I show that creating movement with your subject is key in making them feel comfortable and creating natural looking poses for your photoshoots regardless of age, rather than finding a pose online and getting them to copy it with which a non-model usually ends up looking quite stiff and unnatural! Thanks for the suggestion though, I will see if I can make a video about this :)
@@juliatrotti Thank you for the advice. I will bear those tips in mind! Looking forward to more posing videos. I find aperture, focus, bokeh and all is comparily easy to master :)
Great posing tips! What is the thing under the lens, and what are the USB cables for? I was surprised to see you using a 35mm lens for all of the portraits, but it did give pleasing results, except for the closest shots, where I think it exaggerated the nose and gave the typical wide-angle distortion of faces. I'm curious why you didn't use a longer lens. We always see fancy lighting setups, but you seemed to get good shots without even so much as a reflector.
Thank you so much! It's a wifi recorder to be able to share what I see on the live view while I'm taking photos. The cables are a little clunky but I really love sharing the screen so it's worth it haha. And yeah I really love using a 35 for portraits, it's definitely a little unconventional but I love the look! I guess I didn't change my lens due to time constraints while filming this video, I just wanted a couple of quick closeup shots so I kept the 35 on, I know it causes some distortion but like I mentioned I still like what it looks like!
Always excited to see your stuff !!! I asked your suggestion about sonya7iii or canon R to buy for fashion photography and vlog videography. Can you please suggest want to buy this week
Thank you so much! For fashion/weddings/client work I like using the A7III rather than the R because of dual card slots. Not to mention lenses can be more budget friendly with Sony compared to RF lenses which are amazing!! but really pricey. With vlogging though, the flip screen of the R might come in handy. I use the A7III for vlogging as well, after a while you get used to not seeing the back of the screen and you learn where to point the camera, but yeah some pros and cons to think about :)

Good luck on your photoshoot and I'm glad I was able to help! I have 2 more videos on my channel about posing in case you haven't seen those yet 😊
I’ve been wanting to shoot clients, how it go .? Any tips ?
How did it go?!
I hope you have great luck I have a photo shoot today but I’m not great at posing women
It's always a godsend to watch these sorts of videos as it is still a major weakness of mine that I'll eventually be comfortable with.

Julia Trotti so what is your main source or project for income? Is it fashion shoots or weddings?
Your model has natural rhythm 👏🏾💯😊. These moves are so effortless for her

@@juliatrotti do you know how the tamron 35mm 1.4 for canon is on the sony a7 iii with a mount?? Otherwise, do you want to do a video with it?? 😊
Great video again Julia and the music is just disarming. Thanks.
I love landscape portraits with F1.4 bokeh and punchy vivid colours
Your videos always help me immensely!!! 🙏🏻 thank you so so much!
This is really helpful thank u❤️🥺
Good job. Found it very informative, especially mini tips and tricks how to pose a model. Giving you 10/10 :)

absolutely loved the Shanice! Thanks for the tutorial Julia :)
Thank you and me too, she's amazing!
I would love to know how you set your camera focus, you seem to be so quick when you are taking these photos!
Ever tried back button focus? That’s the way I do it and it’s a game changer.
Really helpful! I feel like this would be great for me to start writing down in a little notebook in case I need some tips and guidance.
Glad it was helpful! And that's a really good idea, I find I'm the same when I'm watching/learning something, taking down notes really helps cement in in my head haha
I was searching for potrait pose and tips and your account have it all! Thank you x

It's nice, i regularly watch your videos and learned manu things
Thank you I'm glad to hear that 😊
Very nice video. It that an HD attached to the camera or isn't a device that records while shooting?
Thanks! Its a wifi recorder so I can share in my video what I see while taking photos :)
Julia Trotti thanks for that information. Would you be able to tell me the brand?
Very useful and educational. Love your pro skil
Thank you very much!
I’ve been wanting to work with more plus sized models, in the past I’ve tried things similar but It doesn’t quite look how I imagine. Any tips?
hi Julia, it's a nice video and very useful for me. anyway what device to record camera screen ?
This is really useful when I need someone to picture for me, thank you for the technique xoxo
Great job! Why do you have hdmi on the camera? I noticed you got some wires on your camera in like 3 videos, are they for mic or ? Just curious.
I’ve noticed at times you switch your shutter speed. Like at the beach you’re were real high and here mostly lower. What do you base that on?(:
Probably amount of light in the area
Super useful tips. What is the connector on your camera, is it for charging your battery?
Wait Im guessing it's an HDMI video recorder ?
Awesome photos!
Simple and helpful. Thanks!
Love your vids!!! What is that under your camera that u use to record the viewfinder??
Thank you Julia.. Nice to learn for my next shoot.
I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you that's a great help!!! inspirating as always !!!
