Wow thank you! I’ve just recently discovered shooting my subjects (High School Seniors) from slightly below, by accident and I absolutely love the images but couldn’t really tell you why… this video has given me some fresh new ways to think about why -when framing up my shots and planning my sessions! Thank you so much!

By far my most favorite video of you. Thanks a ton! Btw do you have specific tips on shooting full body portraits on portrait orientation wherein you have a good mix of the environment + the subject?

[@SimpleeKomplex]

Agreed with both this being my favorite and your question 😊. Crossing my fingers we get a response 🤞🏾

[@MarceloFernandez1967]

Todos os vídeos e Julia são, antes de tudo, lições de estética. Minhas fotografias melhoraram muito depois que passei a me inspirar em seus trabalhos. ❤

[@marcocfitness]

[@Donbros]

Interesting talk about cutting body parts composition. I sometimes take photo and not sure why it looks cool even though its not classic composition (basically everything you talked before this moment). Ah so its not only me :D

[@user-pu6ui4ib4e]

I am your big fan
Love u

[@anandsagar6]

Julia❤

[@brianchristensenphoto]

Hey ☺️ i have a question for you about equipment. What microphone do you use in this video?
Thanks ☺️

[@massimilianomolinari7846]

Hi Julia. And thank you for the video. Have a question: when I post my portraits pictures on an IG post, after having cutted with 4:5 ratio, IG still cut my pictures and compositions of my portraits don’t meet your suggestions… Why this happens? Thank you again for your suggestions. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭, Europe.

[@marclabro]

very nice tuto. do you have tutos on few simple and natural posing ?

[@nicepeeps1]

Let's not forget, it all starts with a beautiful model. You shoot with some very attractive people.

[@jacobdixon1300]

YES LADS

[@sylvestersim423]

Hi, do you have any snow photography tips? landscapes, portraits, editing in snow..

[@kdb5312]

I want to start taking photos of my work (hairdressing) with a DSLR camera that I've had for years and never learnt how to use, so I've been watching some of your videos to better understand photography, and all the info and tips has been helping me feel more confident and less like the camera will take over me haha Not gonna lie I feel a bit intimidated by using a camera when everyone else just uses their phone 😅

[@djinn_tseng]

use the dslr! instead of feeling intimidated, maybe it could make you and your work feel more professional, and even attract business for you.

[@YrsaClicks]

get that camera out :)

[@aks-14]

Thank q

[@skinnylegend8324]

Will you test the new sigma f1.4 for sonyy❤️‍🔥

[@tphccsun]

I also use Luminar Neo but can I ask when you use Luminar Neo and when you use Lightroom?

[@alessiomeriggi3191]

forza Italia Giulia!!!

[@ojanmaul]

Keren nih! Tapi jangan lupa, yang penting buat foto itu feeling dan mengabadikan momen, bukan cuma tekniknya aja. So, keep snapping and have fun!

[@modelrailwaybackshop]

I'm not huge into the photography compared to the videography. I actually only photograph brass model trains that I've been working on for other model railroaders and collectors. one of the biggest things I've been doing is positioning the camera's on my friend's model train layout in a way to get a much more realistic feel to the video footage, but due to the limitations of how he designed his layout you don't actually get any backdrops to shoot against to feel like a railfan is at the real world location videoing trains going up and down the mountain pass. I wish model railroaders weren't selfish in showing how they take their photos.

[@kennyp5388]

In your opinion, will smartphones one day take as good or better portraits than a dedicated camera?

[@stereodan7180]

What is negative space?
