Thanks so much for watching!! If you like wide angle portraits you can also check out my 35mm composition tips here: th-cam.com/video/4cTwmvUTxPw/w-d-xo.html ⭐️
Julia do you never shoot male models ? btw it was a super useful video .. leading line of the stairs and fence directed towards the eye was my favourite one ♥️
hi julia, plzz make ur videos in 2:1/18:9 aspect ratio, because now a days it's very common in all smartphones, most of user having android phones with 19.5:9 aspect ratio screen, 2:1/18:9 aspect ratio videos are looks bigger on screen & looks awesome, u can also see another video s related why we create video's in 2:1 aspect ratios. So, please implement this my above request because iam big fan of you, love u so much..
Thank you for continuing to provide actual value on TH-cam... it is very much appreciated! Most creators with your sub count become either stale or start to mail it in. When it comes to learning to take better photos, you've become one of my go-to's.
Love these tips, I just switched over to full frame with the Sony a7 IV and my first lens is the 24mm GM. I travel and like to shoot street/landscapes so its the perfect prime for me. Never really thought of it as a portrait but your results are inspiration. Also, the leading lines fence comp was my favorite.
Hey Julia ... another show stopper of a video ... love the leading lines in the fence, those were my fav ...great tip to stay away from the edges to avoid unflattering distortions
Best tip is not let the horizon line cut through face. Second is negative space above subject. Third, keep face in center of frame to reduce distortion and just crop for close ups. Awesome video!
The only lens that I owned from December 2019-March 2021 was 24mm 2.8 it was the best choice and challenge I ever did... You move more, and you learn how everything works you understand and appreciate what you have. Now I have Sony camera with sigma 24-70 I don't think of having a second lens at least for a year or more. I have done already some shootings and I'm impressed with the results I get from it. Ps your videos are really helpful I like how good you are at directing models what pose to get and stuff and I like that you don't encourage people into getting in new cameras, lenses.
Wow! Absolutely love these photo tips for the 24mm focal length! I bought a the a7c and the 24mm gm a couple of months ago to document the birth of our firstborn child (who turned 3 weeks old today). I choosed the 24mm to have 1 lens for both video and photo. However, I’ve been struggling a bit with the photo part, gotten the feeling I should have gone for the 35mm instead. But thanks for this inspiration! Feels like I would stick with the 24mm, develop my photo skills, and then go for a 50mm or 85mm once our child has grown a bit bigger! Thanks again! Great channel!! 😊
Wonderful as usual! Thanks for pointing out lining up the model’s limbs with the leading lines. Been working a lot on creating more dynamic shapes and lines through posing!
The vibe from your 24 lens is so staggering! It's like a amplifier of emotion from the model and feeling of the environment! Never thought 24 lens could have such amazing result! Thank you Julia!
Many thanks to everyone involved for the helpful video. I like how you fade in the details and also explain what is important when photographing and posing the model.
Thanks for the video! You really had such good understanding of the perspective of different focal lengths, and how the subject plays a role in the composition. Learnt a lot!
I have the Sony 28 f2 and I use that lens a lot for my travel photography! I have a portrait shoot with it up on my channel as well if you wanted to see :D
The Tamron 24mm f2.8 is according to Sony Alpha Blog (ask Google 😉) a really sharp lens and pretty affordable ! The AF seems to be noisy and not the fastest but for non sports stills should be fine.
Wonderful video and tips. You are excellent photographer & editor. Tips are helpful. Sony SOOC color & skintone is far from good, but you make them look super nice from editing.
Hello and thank you very much for this Video and these beautiful Photos! I thought there would be more deformations for Portraits at 24 mm, but obviously it seems to me that there are none or very few, no ??? I have a Canon RP and the Canon RF 50 f1.8 stm for Portraits, and I'm thinking of buying the new Canon RF 24 mm f1.8 Macro stm for Landscapes, but then I might be able to do Portraits with it this 24 mm also what do you think ? Thank you in advance for your answers, Sincerely, Philgood...
Portraits on a 24mm, wow! 😀 Just a quick question though- Why don't you use your A7C as much you use your A7iii for the shoots. Any particular shortcomings?
You've got an amazing eye for this! But damn the magenta in the shadows of the bts video is soo bad, it's just the colorist in me can't handle it ahah.
Hello Julia. I love your videos. I've just subscribed! One question: on minute 2.28 I see your camera is attached to an external battery (power bank)? How does it work? What accessory hold it? It would be nice if you do a video about it. Thank you!
226 / 5000 Kết quả dịch Hello. I really like your photos. can you share me the device you use to record your camera screen. I see you mounted it below the camera. but don't know what it is. thank you very much
Haha yeah it's hard to choose. For me with portrait photography, I think a 24 is a good option to go for if you already have your "main" lenses that you use to shoot with and are looking for an extra lens to be able to get some creative shots with.
You seem confused, showing 100% crops which just tells us that the distance you're shooting at is beginning to distort the face to where we dislike the features. The point of different focal lengths is to add more or less context for a subject distance. A 35mm f/1.4 has 1.5x the physical aperture as a 24mm at f/1.4 - hence a shallower depth of field at the same distance - or conversely, you're getting the same subject separation at 2/3 of the distance (maybe why you're shooting closer. A lens change makes photographers maybe only subconsciously do different things in order to adapt to the change in conditions - frame differently, shoot closer etc which you're demonstrating.
Thanks but this is just an unflattering look for a human. Way too much distortion going on. Not to mention you have to get way too close to your subject. Most models don’t want a photographer right on top of them with a camera in their face. This is a focal length much better suited for landscapes. But I think 35 is too wide for portraits too ha
Like I said in the video, I wouldn't normally use a lens this wide for an entire shoot. But if you imagine a shoot mostly done on a 50mm or 85mm, then add in some creative shots with a 24 and you have a nice variety of photos at the end of the day :) And I agree, the physical distance you need can be circumstantial. Serena is very confident in front of the camera so she didn't mind, but if I had someone who was more shy/self conscious I would prefer to use lenses where I can create some distance to make them feel more at ease.
Great tips and I love how you break down your decisions. Shooting with a wide is a real skill and you are great at it! The reason that there is so much less distortion on the longer edges is because the lens is round and would naturally project that shape but is being cropped by your sensor. The top and bottom of a landscape orientation are being cut off closer to the middle so we don’t see the actual edges as much. It’s also probably worth mentioning to people that shooting with a wide lens from a lower angle can be nice when your model is very thin but if your model is curvy, or on the rounder side, that would be exaggerated some.
24mm is actually such a wonderful lens! It was my very first lens and although it was tricky to do proper portraits I like how you can capture beautiful sceneries with it 😍
I agree! A shoot like this makes me want to use it more often, it was really fun getting creative with the location and posing, it makes you think a little differently to traditional portrait lenses 😄
Great tips! Thought I was the only one that preferred to leave negative space when shooting portrait! Makes it much easier to crop for instagram as well!
Distortion can be a problem with wide angles, but if I'm careful to keep the camera level I can get a closeup of the subject with a panoramic background. Still, I very seldom us a wide angle for portraits unless I want a particular emphasis. This is a good video on wide angle portraiture. I agree with everything you're saying. My go to lens is the Nikon 24-120 mm f/4 which covers the closeup head shots too.
OMG your comment about distortion in portrait vs. landscape orientation was such a hidden gem! I hadn't really considered until you pointed that out, but ALL lenses are projecting light onto a circular plane - it's just that film negatives and sensors are cropped rectangularly - so of *course* you wouldn't have as much distortion at the top (and bottom) of a landscape shot! 🤯
These are my favorite videos that you make. I learn so much! I don’t even own a single camera🤣🤣 my fave tip is using the negative space, it looks beautiful.
Hello! I'm a guitarist who will be shooting in a small space with a green screen. So I will need to get me & the guitar in the whole shot from about 4 feet away. I just ordered this lens your using. I'm just hoping I made the right decision for my situation? Thanks so much!
thank you for the tips. coming from tight lenses, its kinda hard to compose with 24, definitely going to try your tips. also what is the device with antennas mounted on your camera?
Julia you could in your reviews show the camera with the lens, because this days all lenses and bodys are amazing, maybe ergonomics and size(and price hehehe) makes a big difference. Is good to see how its fits in your hands and overrall size with the body
FAVE TIP: the eyes and leg/arm following leading lines! Never heard you say that one before, what a great tip
Thank you, I thought that one was a goodie too ;)

I love the photos against the fence and the last ones sitting down
From the lower point of view - it's just awesome! 4:45

She makes for a phenomenal model. On point with the posing.

I absolutely love the tones you got out of those photos!!! They're amazing!!!
Thank you so much!
@@juliatrotti is really nice to hear your thoughts straight from your heart. Even better nicely done! Really apreciated!
This was a superb tutorial on how to use the 24mm! I'm thinking of what lens to get to compliment my 50mm and this one might be it.
Wonderful as usual! Thanks for pointing out lining up the model’s limbs with the leading lines. Been working a lot on creating more dynamic shapes and lines through posing!
24mm is my first lens and it's hard for me to find a nice ways to use it.. thanks for this video cause its helps a lot..
More than reviewing gear, this is a great video!thanks for bringing those line tips .
I’m really enjoying watching all your video .🥰
The vibe from your 24 lens is so staggering! It's like a amplifier of emotion from the model and feeling of the environment! Never thought 24 lens could have such amazing result! Thank you Julia!
I totally agree on this one
I love videos like this!! Seeing how your direct the model is so informative!
Many thanks to everyone involved for the helpful video. I like how you fade in the details and also explain what is important when photographing and posing the model.

Love your videos!
Thanks for the video! You really had such good understanding of the perspective of different focal lengths, and how the subject plays a role in the composition. Learnt a lot!
Thank you!!
ur channel is the best😍😍i learned so much watching!! thankuu ❤❤❤
Love your photography videos, keep it up julia!!!
Thank you so much!
Although 24mm is hard to use for portraits, you slayed it! Thank you for the tips! Liked and subscribed!
Nice shots!
This is my fav focal length and aperture for travel.
Yeah it would be a great lens for travel. I personally use a 28 a lot for travel which is pretty similar :)
Beautiful photos. Really love them.
this kind of video is tempting me move from m43 to fullframe (a7c) and a 24mm
Your photos look great in whatever lens u used... 😍😍😍 Thx for always sharing yr tips !!
Thanks so much! 😊
Great video and photos. She's a really good poser
Also, you did such a great job with bringing the images to life with your edits!
I liked the tips on compact vs. open poses and the leading lines of the fence. I'll have to try them both
Thank you!
I love this !!! so hepful!!! thank you Julia!
Great to see more portraits with 24mm, I'm getting a 28mm in a couple of days to try it out. Wish I could afford the 24 1.4 though :P
I have the Sony 28 f2 and I use that lens a lot for my travel photography! I have a portrait shoot with it up on my channel as well if you wanted to see :D
@@juliatrotti Thanks! Will do :D
The Tamron 24mm f2.8 is according to Sony Alpha Blog (ask Google 😉) a really sharp lens and pretty affordable ! The AF seems to be noisy and not the fastest but for non sports stills should be fine.
A 24mm lens is not easy to use but it's very useful and relatable because it's the angle of view of most smart phones.
Julia thanks You for information about 24 mm lenses!!! 😉👌
Wonderful video and tips.
You are excellent photographer & editor. Tips are helpful.
Sony SOOC color & skintone is far from good, but you make them look super nice from editing.
suuuuuuuper helpful vid. thanks for making it!
my fave lens
i always love your video and most especially.... your accent! :) :) :)
Great location! Simple yet effective
These videos are very helpful. The 85mm tips helped me so much. Can you please make one for 35mm too? I really struggle with that focal length.
Great video! Also kind of aesthetic haha
Hey ) nice tips and video , pls I has a REQUEST please review the SONY FE 24-70 F4 for portraits , photo quality and etc … thanks a lot
Great tips. What is your best to worst 24mm len
Great tips, thanks for sharing
AMAZING VIDEO! Thank you so much!
hello beautiful video! how do you record sony screen?
Can’t you use liquify to “fix” some face distortion?! Thanks for sharing. Love your videos!
What is that thing on the bottom of your camera? How did you get the video from the camera of you actually looking thru the view finder?
Hello and thank you very much for this Video and these beautiful Photos!

Thank you in advance for your answers,

Hi. Just subbed. What's the gizmo attached to the underside of your camera in this shoot? Tia
Hi. What’s sitting underneath your camera that’s also plugged into it? Battery pack? Or mic? Thanks?
Meaning you need a big subject for 24mm or else the lens will struggle 😀 But I think on a crop sensor it should be just fine.
Portraits on a 24mm, wow! 😀
Just a quick question though- Why don't you use your A7C as much you use your A7iii for the shoots. Any particular shortcomings?
Filling the frame with exaggerated posing. Thanks.
You've got an amazing eye for this! But damn the magenta in the shadows of the bts video is soo bad, it's just the colorist in me can't handle it ahah.
Sigma 15mm & 24mm EX-DG : )
What was the lens that your camera person was using for this video?
Hello Julia. I love your videos. I've just subscribed! One question: on minute 2.28 I see your camera is attached to an external battery (power bank)? How does it work? What accessory hold it? It would be nice if you do a video about it. Thank you!
How close can you get with your subject before she gets distorted? 5 ft? 8 ft? Thanks in advance for replies?
So, 35mm1.4 or 24mm 1.4,which lens should I have? 24mm seems to offer a wide and special sight than 35mm, but many of your vedios used 35mm😂
How far away you have to be from Serena to get her entire body full stand up into the frame?

24mm looks extravagant but not too versatile. 35mm to me is very basic but versatile. This is my current dilemma lol

First of all, beautiful model is gonna come out with good photos, my model? 😂 Maybe bc of my camera they said lol
Give HER the camera, Julia.
