I'm not into using flash during wedding but i am interested in knowing how to use it perfectly. With that said, can you show us a video about it? Thanks in advance from the Philippines. 🇵🇭❤️
Thank you for sharing your personal gear details, Julia. It is always wonderful to know the practical kit that professional photographers choose for themselves. I know, each lens requires a careful choice and you would have put countless hours pondering over theiese choices. Though each photographer might have personal preferences, your rich experience with these focal lengths serve as good reference for others.
Talking about the 35mm. I remember watching your portrait shoots back in 2017 which inspired me to get the sigma 35mm f1.4 and did loads of portraits with it. After a few years go by I seem to prefer the telephoto look now haha. Good times.
Thanks for sharing Julia! 😊 I've been waiting ~forever~ for an update to Canon's 50mm L to materialize but with the release of their mirrorless its evident that it'll never be a happening thing. Sony's 50mm GM 😍 represents a very attractive option, perhaps I'll upgrade/ switch ecosystems somewhere down the line when the a7 IV is released and widely available
Love seeing what's in your bag! I also shoot on the Sony A7iii and I'm happy with my 28mm, 35mm and 50mm, but still use my Canon lenses + adapters for the other lengths. Will be purchasing a 85mm and possibly a 24-70mm as soon as finances allow.
For as long as I’ve followed you you’ve used a Sony camera 95% of the time. I’m surprised at all of the people who are surprised you said you’ve switched 🤔 either way solid video as always 😇
I think it’s because when I started on TH-cam I was using Canon for a while, but I think I’ve been on Sony longer than I was on Canon with YT! Before YT I was using Canon since the 5D2 days.. camera’s have come so far since then wow!
@@juliatrotti I'm lucky to be in the Texas desert. Taking my 35 to a couple places called Red Sands & White Sands. I'm so excited!!! They're both absolutely gorgeous scenery...Google them 😍
HOLLLLLLLLLLLD UP. I can use didn't brand flashes on my A7III (in manual mode). I guess that solved my wedding worry for swapping my Sony flash around from 35 to 85 all day. Thanks Julia!!
Glad to hear you use the 135mm during your work outside of YT, but hoping it'll make some appearances in some more atypical videos, e.g. travel and street, whenever that becomes available again. Still fondly remember your US trip. Wondering what your travel bag would look like now. Can't imagine two 35mm lenses in it. 😄 Just one along with the 20, 85 and hopefully the 135 despite the size/weight? 🤔
How happy are you with that 35 mm 1.4 GM, yes it is sharp, incredible color but af?,… even on stills. I have had many wtf situation regarding it af, my batis 40 mm au contraire never a single problem .
My wife and I love your work! Thank you for the tips and tricks. We are trying to figure out if we want to return our 55mm 1.8 Zeiss to get the 35mm 1.4. We've been using it for a few days now and it seems to have a bit slower AF compared to our other GM lenses, any suggestions?
I enjoy my 17-28+70-180 f/2.8 Tamron and my 35 f/1.4 GM+85 f/1.4 art, but I keep an eye on the 20mm f/1.8 G and maybe the 105mm f/2.8 macro Sigma, all so good for the A7R IV.
I will! This lens is going to be a hard worker haha. And yess I just got the 14mm yesterday, going to take it out to shoot today! I will upload a video about it soon :)
I remember the last time you did this with all canon gear. I commented saying Sony mirrorless is the future and here you are a Sony shooter! My question is why not a 24-70 or 70-200? Most wedding photographers have these or the 70-200 at the minimum for ceremony work so as not to get in the way. I’ve done weddings with primes and sometimes switching lenses is such a pain!
HI Julia! Absolutely LOVE your videos! I know you've shared a heap ton of content on the different lenses that exists, but I was just wondering that as a photographer without an unlimited budget, what two lenses (should they both be primes?) for the A7III would you recommend for wedding and portrait photography? Thank you so much!
All of the primes! Love the camera strap though - looks super robust! The only gear I'm thinking of getting at the moment is the Sony 200-600mm lens and a Sony camera to go with it. Either something like the Sony a6300 or a Sony A7ii. But I dunno yet. Still want a few lenses for my fuji haha
@@juliatrotti I'm thinking of the 23mm f2 lens for a nice little lens for all-round general purpose stuff and the new 70-300mm for a decent zoom for landscape and wildlife stuff :) Oh, and Primes are great. Sharp and great for low light :)
Just made the jump from Canon to Sony so.. I need everything to feel complete again haha. Just ordered my first lens and it's a 24mm 2.8 which I think will be a great starting point to get back to what I had with Canon. I also have Canon speedlights so thanks for the tip, I was wondering if it would work with my new a7III! Great reviews and video structure+quality, keep it up!
Loved the video... the only camera brand I have not seen you do shoot with is nikon except the z5 one you did.. would love a video of z6ii or z7ii portrait shoot
Another great video as always! Since you mentioned that you use Canon flashes on Sony. Do you use these off camera with trigger like Yongnuo YN-E3-RT. Basically if you had trigger like that on Canon, would it work on Sony but in manual mode?
I do have a separate website for it :) You can see it on swoonweddings.com.au - I don't usually like to share my wedding work on this channel since I have a larger audience and some of my clients might not want their wedding to be seen by so many people!
@@juliatrotti I can totally understand that decision. I am excited to take a closer look! And I bet people would love to see your wedding/engagement BTS if you had a willing couple and the time!
Hi I really enjoy watching your videos. I am thinking of buying of filter for lens protection. I am struggling between using or not. Are you using any clear or uv filter with your lens for primarily protection? Thank you!
Great set of kit you've got there! Quite envious of your 35mm GM unboxing. I'd like to replace my Sony Zeiss 35mm f1.4 as well (notwithstanding a brilliant stretch of quality images created with it.) I'm very curious to learn what drove you to hold on to the Sony Zeiss 50mm f1.4 even after Sony's release of the new GM f1.2. I'll check out your video on the subject. Happy shooting!
I don’t know anything about photography and not sure why I landed here but you’re gorgeous. I’m sure a few grooms at the weddings you shot must have questioned their decision to get married….
Thanks and yesss I ordered it straight away after using it for my review video haha I really love it! It just took a while to arrive with the shipping delays.
I'm really impressed with how many cameras and lenses you get in your backpack. Which 35mm lens is always on one of the cameras? The 35 1.4 GM lens or the Sigma 35 1.2 lens? I am not a professional photographer myself, but a train driver. And I like to take pictures of my locomotives and trains. When I do that, I usually have my two Nikon cameras, the D 750 and the Z6, with me. When the day really has a lot of sunlight, I use the two zoom lenses Sigma Art 24-105 / 4 and the Tamron 24-70 / 2.8 Di VC USD G2. For less bright days I have a tamron 35 / 1.8 DI VC USD and a Nikkor Z 35 1.8S and a Tokina Opera 50 1.4 FF with me. When, contrary to expectations, I take portraits, I use the fairly new Viltrox 85 1.8Z and the Sigma Art 135 1.8DG. And all of this fits into the Lowepro Flipside 500AW. The cameras have hand straps from Spider and I also have a camera strap on which I can carry one of the two cameras outside of the backpack for quick access. I also really liked your backpack, but I've never seen it in Germany. When I'm at work, the D 750 and the Tamron 35 1.8 Di VC USD are usually with me. Thank you for the video, dear Julia, greetings from Crailsheim in Germany
Yep that’s one of the reasons I don’t want to change my backpack - it just fits everything I need in there perfectly. Even when my kit changes such as when I borrow gear for review videos, I can still fit everything I need in there! A couple of days ago I fit a whole Fujifilm GFX kit in my bag too.. it was heavy but it all fit nicely haha. I always have the Zeiss 35 on my camera, now it will be the GM 35 that I use the majority of the time. The Sigma 35 is more of a fun lens that I use for portraits sometimes and personal shoots - but for a wedding it’s way too heavy for my liking.
Hey Julia! I am about to switch from a Canon 70D to a Sony A7RII. Would you recommend selling all of my canon lenses and investing in a good Sony lens, or selling my Canon body alone and purchasing a lens adapter? Thanks!
There is a old video with Peter McKinnon on how to vlog without a flip out screen. He took one of his friends to a camera store because he wanted to vlog. I think his friend ask how do you vlog on the Canon 1D with no flip out screen. Peter McKinnon said the trick is to look straight into the lens. I tried it does work. It's 100% perfect but it's close.
Thanks for sharing your wedding and portrait kit. My wedding lens kit is similar. 35mm f/1.4 85mm f/1.4 135mm f/2 Here is what I carry in my portrait lens kit: 135mm f/2 for face shots 105mm f/2.8 macro for face shots 85mm f/1.4 for half-length and head & shoulder portraits 50mm f/1.4 for full-length and ¾ length portraits 35mm f/1.4 for environmental portraits and small group portraits 28mm f/2 for large group portraits
I know that you'll always have love for Canon, but why did you change from being a full time Canon shooter to a full time Sony Shooter? I'd love to know. Thanks.
Hey Julia! Just had a question and was hoping to see why you use the a7c for your video recording if there was a particular reason. I have a7II and it's not so good for recording video. Should I buy the a7c for recording video, what do you recommend?
Love the Camera bag video 👏🏽👏🏽 I am waiting for the A7 IV before I plan out my camera bag. For now I have a Sony 85mm f/1.8, the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2, the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 and the Pentax 55mm f/2 (which is so tiny, it just always lives in the bag 😂) depending on how the specs are for the IV, I may get that or replace the 85 1.8 with the 1.4.
Thank you! The only thing that I would upgrade now is when the A74’s come out :D Can’t wait for that. The new GM 50 1.2 gives me hope that they will also work on a GM 85mm f1.2, that would be sweet!
Hi Julia. I' m from Argentina. Thank you for let to know your equipment. I'm a Sony user. Can you tell me if the 50/1,2 GM is better for you than the 50/1,4 Zeiss? Worth the change?
I have a question...hope you will answer. When do you take the nice wedding pics of the couple before or after the wedding? I just cant see the bride wanting to get her dress dirty before the wedding. Or how do do yall do that??? (Not talking about the actual wedding pics on wedding day)
Just upgraded my kit from 28mm f2 and 55 f1.8...to...24mm 1.4, 55mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8. I am not sure how I feel about it yet. It was so expensive! Waiting for the shock to wear off, lol
In the UK weee still waiting for the 35 1.4 and 50 1.2 to release. It’s been a while and no news. Sony said they don’t know when it’s being released according to retailers.
I hope you’ll get it soon! Mine arrived just over a week ago now and I’m seeing more people getting theirs too, hopefully you don’t have to wait too much longer :)
Waiting for 50mm gm to arrive. Meanwhile love my 24mm gm and 135mm gm. Not sure if I need a 35mm when I can use super35 on 24mm even though it is not exactly the same as having a 35mm lens but how much of a difference it is I can’t tell...
Yeah I really feel like you’re either a 35 or 50 shooter, it’s hard to justify/use both equally haha. Since I’m a heavy 35 user I decided not to get the GM 50 even though I really like it 🥲
I noticed that you never mention the type of cable you use to record your videos along with the Atomos Ninja V. Would you share what type of device you use to record your viewfinder with since you don’t have the Atomos Ninja directly on your camera??
I'm not into using flash during wedding but i am interested in knowing how to use it perfectly. With that said, can you show us a video about it? Thanks in advance from the Philippines. 🇵🇭❤️
Yes I Agee could you do a video on flash tips?
Thank you for sharing your personal gear details, Julia.

Yesss more to come! :D
Congrats on the new 35 GM! Can’t wait to see all the magic you’re gonna work with it :)
Thank you!! I can’t wait to use it more :D
I also have sony a7iii for all my work..
I do weddings and portraits with sony 28-70 and 50mm f1.8..

Hey Julia love your video’s!
I’d love to see a video on metering modes and how/when you like to use them. 🙏🏻
The first example photo with the 85mm is sooo beautiful!!!
Thank you!
I remember watching your channel when you switched to Sony right around when I did the same....can’t believe that was 3 years ago
I know right!! Time flies haha I really thought it was maybe almost 2 years, not 3 😯
I recently purchased an a7iii after binge watched your videos and feel inspired 😃😇
Upgrade from Sony a5100
Oooh nice! I hope you’ve been enjoying using it 😄

Got mine yesterday too! PUMPED to use it
Can you show a video on how you set up your camera once it comes out of the box....please

So you have no zoom lenses. Have you ever had problem with sensor's stains changing those lenses?
Thanks for the informative video!! Great combos! Maybe one day we will see a Sony GM 35/1.2!

amazing iv had my sony bodies for 3 years too (coming from the canons for a long time)... took me a year to finally decided im comfortable with it 🤣
There is a old video with Peter McKinnon on how to vlog without a flip out screen. He took one of his friends to a camera store because he wanted to vlog.

135mm f/2
Here is what I carry in my portrait lens kit:
135mm f/2 for face shots
105mm f/2.8 macro for face shots
85mm f/1.4 for half-length and head & shoulder portraits
50mm f/1.4 for full-length and ¾ length portraits
35mm f/1.4 for environmental portraits and small group portraits
28mm f/2 for large group portraits
Busy girl! 💪
oh! i finally have my 35 GM too! yahooo! coming from a heavy 50mm shooter, the 35 has been pretty great. sad i had to let go of my sigma 35 1.2
Have fun with it, it’s such an amazing lens!
Why did you get rid of the 1.2
Julia, are you doing a review on the Sony 14mm Gmaster?
Yes! I’m taking it out for a shoot today, so I will upload the video on Monday I think :)
So so so beautiful
Hello! You make beautiful and professional videos about photo. Could you spend some time, to tell about using flashligth on the street?
I know that you'll always have love for Canon, but why did you change from being a full time Canon shooter to a full time Sony Shooter?
I'd love to know.
Thanks.
Hmmm, I have a bag, but still no camera. Have to do something about it. Thanks Julia, for being such an inspiration for an analogue guy...

@@juliatrotti Totally would be ..... Just release the A7 IV so we can decide Sony! 😂
The 85mm f1.8 is actually better than the 1.4 in terms of auto focus and quality
Surely you have heard it a million times or more already but you are actually really beautiful,good luck ♥
Hi Julia. I' m from Argentina. Thank you for let to know your equipment. I'm a Sony user. Can you tell me if the 50/1,2 GM is better for you than the 50/1,4 Zeiss? Worth the change?
I am from India and iam learning more from your videos. I also brought a a7iii 2days ago
Ooh enjoy using it!
Do you have any videos on why you switched to Sony?
Do you own the R5 you have been shooting with and do you like it more than the Sony system.
I have a question...hope you will answer. When do you take the nice wedding pics of the couple before or after the wedding? I just cant see the bride wanting to get her dress dirty before the wedding. Or how do do yall do that??? (Not talking about the actual wedding pics on wedding day)
In Australia everything including the portraits are done on the wedding day, usually after the ceremony and before the reception.
Great video.
I was wonder what filters you use if you use any at all?
Btw I’m currently waiting on a 50mm 1.2 Gm and a atlas pack.
Thanks! Ah man I forgot to mention it in the video - I use B+W UV & ND filters :) And nice!! Hope they come your way soon
Just upgraded my kit from 28mm f2 and 55 f1.8...to...24mm 1.4, 55mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8. I am not sure how I feel about it yet. It was so expensive! Waiting for the shock to wear off, lol
Haha I know that feeling, I’m sure once the shock wears off you will be super happy! Also that GM 24mm is one beautiful lens 😍
@@juliatrotti yes the 24 gm is amazing! The 28mm was my most used lens. I am sure the 24 will be now 😀
In the UK weee still waiting for the 35 1.4 and 50 1.2 to release. It’s been a while and no news. Sony said they don’t know when it’s being released according to retailers.
I hope you’ll get it soon! Mine arrived just over a week ago now and I’m seeing more people getting theirs too, hopefully you don’t have to wait too much longer :)
@@juliatrotti fingers crossed. Which of these two lenses are you using more? :)
@@Poopdeck1015 35 for sure! I just made a video about why I’m not getting the 50 1.2 actually!
@@juliatrotti thanks I’ll check it out. Thanks for replying :)
Awesome💕
Waiting for 50mm gm to arrive. Meanwhile love my 24mm gm and 135mm gm. Not sure if I need a 35mm when I can use super35 on 24mm even though it is not exactly the same as having a 35mm lens but how much of a difference it is I can’t tell...
Yeah I really feel like you’re either a 35 or 50 shooter, it’s hard to justify/use both equally haha. Since I’m a heavy 35 user I decided not to get the GM 50 even though I really like it 🥲
Julia, do you do off-camera flash for weddings? Or all on-camera? Any diffusers?
I usually do some night portraits with off camera flash, but no diffusers - I just use the bounce card to avoid red eyes!
I noticed that you never mention the type of cable you use to record your videos along with the Atomos Ninja V. Would you share what type of device you use to record your viewfinder with since you don’t have the Atomos Ninja directly on your camera??
