Thanks so much for another outstanding video on composition tips - it is so helpful !! So much inspiration across the video - I particularly like your simple but effective suggestion of leaving some space above the models head when shooting in portrait orientation but then cutting off some of the hair when shooting in landscape orientation; also leaving in the model's shoulders. I have watched the video a couple of times and keep picking up new ideas each time !! Many thanks again.

A composition tip I will definitely try to not be afraid to test out is the first tip to crop a portrait shot from the shoulders/hairline and leaving a bit of negative space at the top. My primary lens is a 24-70mm f/2.8 so I will use the 70 mm to get that background to foreground separation and bokeh 😍

The 35 and 85 are my go to lenses as well then the 70-200. I got rid of my nifty 50 as I hardly use it and in a pinch if I want that focal length while not using my 24-70 then I can just go into DX mode on my full frame with my 35 and basically get the same shot. Beautiful images btw

I struggle with my 85, and therefore almost never use it unless I need more reach during a wedding ceremony. I really should utilize it more often, so thank you for these tips. It's out of my comfort zone (I usually shoot with my 24 most of the time) but I'm going to give it a shot this weekend where I'm second shooting. I love your tips on the landscape shots since those can fall to the wayside as well when I do portraits. I always just found it easier to use my 24 and move my feet towards and away from my subjects, but an 85 gives that cool look I think I'm missing. Luckily there's a lot of space where I'll be so it'll be easier to achieve. This video came at the perfect time. Thanks, Julia! Also, Mathilda was fantastic. You pick the best models for these videos!

@@alexn.andradeIf you're mostly doing photos I'd get a 1.4, If you can afford the GM that's one of the best 35mm ever made (for any camera). Its not great for video though, so if you're planning on doing that, get the Sony 1.8. If you can't afford the GM but are still just doing photo, get the Sigma.

Great video!! I just realized looking at your video that I have not done nearly enough headshots even though I shoot with the 85mm most of the time. I think with all of my shoots this coming June, I will be taking a lot more headshots 😅. Also love the call to attention with the text to indicate your thoughts on the negative space, including the shoulders etc. Last thing, I feel the landscape full body portraits are so under utilized! Even though it is my preferred framing since I love the storytelling aspect of it, because of Instagram, I shoot way more portraits than landscape. I have consciously focus on them. Thank you again for giving me a few ideas for the upcoming shoots!

@juliatrotti 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! Yess the 85 is SO good for headshots, my personal favourites are always the ones I shoot in horizontal orientation :D And I also love the landscape full body shots, the only downside is that you need a pretty large location so you can get far enough back! But it's worth it when everything aligns to get a shot like that.
