#selfportraitphotography #tutorial
Hello and welcome to my channel!
In this video I'll show you how I take all my self portraits by myself, just me, myself and I :) I often get asked how I take my photos and the app I use to connect my phone to my camera, and in this video I'll show you all the details.
I use a Sony Alpha 7 RIII camera to take my photos, but I'll also show you how you can take your self portraits just using your phone (that is how I started out).
In this video I'll do the same self portrait both using my camera with the remote app, and on self timer both with my camera and phone, and then we can compare the end results :)
For the Sony cameras the remote app you can download for free to connect with your phone is called ImaginingEdgeMobile. For other brands like Canon, Nikon and Fuji there are also apps that you can download, the important thing is just that you have a camera with built in WIFI. So, if you're looking to buy a new camera, make sure that you get one with built in Wifi :)
Hope you'll enjoy this tutorial and behind the scenes look, and that these tips will be helpful.
Thank you for watching, sending you lots of positivity and hugs :)
Stay healthy & safe!

First ❤️❤️❤️ your amazing I love your videos 💙💙💙
Ur personality is just so nice n cheering.... U always come with this positive vibes.... Love ur videos❤❤
Hi salomi! Ah thank you so much for your kind words :)) It's definitely been going up and down lately with everything that is going on in the world, but making thse videos give me a lot of energy and reading all the comments makes me so happy :)
I've literally just spent the whole day today practicing taking self portraits with my cellphone☺ you must have read my mind that I needed a hand💭 :) thank you!
Ah that is such a funny coincidence! :)) How did it go? :)) Hope you got some tips in the video :)
@@Kutovakika I think my second attempt will go a lot better 🌺 Your video was so helpful as now I know how to trick my cellphone into focus!! :)
@ISA PORTRAIT she absolutely is! :)
💜 love your creative ideas 💜
You’re such an inspiration and SUCH a radiant person. I know this will sound weird but I just love you, I wish I could hang out with you. Thank you for being so helpful and being such a delight, Kika. 🌸
You are so sweet, thank you so much for your kind words, this means a lot to me :)) Hoep you are staying well and healthy :)
I love the white blouse!!!!!!
Thank you! It's one of my absolute favorites right now, I've worn it pretty much everyday this week haha :)) Just because it's isolation doesn't mean we can't wear out pretty stuff right? :)) It's from zara :)
It's always a pleasure to have a notification from @kutovakika 😘 because I know that it will be awesome. Greetings from France ❤❤❤
I haven't even seen the whole video yet but I just want to thank you for always brightening our day:)
I love your ideas❤❤❤
Hi Reem! Thank you so much for saying that, it really means a lot to hear :))
You are fantastic! You have a great balance of telling the truth that better quality gear produces better quality images but that you can and should start with what you have and gear really great results! Love your videos!
Loved the video!! When I didn't have a remote shooter I used to tie a piece of rope where my eyes would appear in the photo, focus on that, then set the timer and run back and take the place of the rope :) Worked almost every time ;)
What a cute photo idea! I’m going to take some self portraits this weekend. I love all of the ideas you provide! So creative 😊💓
Thanks a lot for these tricks kika
I hope they were helpful and maybe seeing the whole process will give some more insight and also hopefully will make the whole process a little less daunting. When I just started out there were so many ihings I was struggling with, and I tried to make this video as practical as possible :)
I appreciate how you are so careful with your words at the beginning, you didnt want to sound like only those who have high end cameras are able to take beautiful photos, though you did make a point that having one would make a difference.
I love your videos Kika ♡♡♡
0:27 Love the backdrop 😍
Yes, taking self-portraits is a workout and a challenge. I take 50 shots and come up with maybe 1. I can't wait to do it again. Thanks for the inspiration.
My boyfriend has the Sony A7iii and it takes the sharpest photos!!!!! I love it
Many thanks for this Kika. I'll share it with some friends who are trying to take self-portraits though they're not used to doing so. Under corona self-distancing they have no one to help them.
I’m so glad I just discovered you on CZcams 🤍🤍 I’m just about to buy my first ‘pro’ camera and your positive energy and encouragement is amazing thank you!!
Love your personality.
Thank you Kika! This is going to make quarantine easier! ❤
Unique ideas and you are so genuine person🌸🌸💕
You helped me step my photo game up!! Thank you!!
Love your peppyneessss n liveliness !!!
Love your teaching!
Aaaaaahh I was waiting for so long for a selfportrait video without a camera that is able to connect with an app.
Love you sooooo much❤❤❤
Keep strong and faithfull in these times 🙏🏽❤❤
Self portraits with iPhone timers should be an olympic sport! 😂 They turned out so cool!
Oh you are so right! In the beginning when I used to take photos from above, I would tape my phone to the ceiling with masking tape while standing on a chair.I'd put on the self timer, and jump down and lay on the floor in whatever pose I was going for, then grab the chair again, and put on the self timer again and back on the ground... And then repeat that for like 20 or more times, proper workout right there!!! :D
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.,🥰
Your all clicking ideas are osm 😍.. thanks for sharing kika.. I try some self portrait ideas inspiring by you .. 😉
I love your videos so much! I'm trying to challenge myself by taking original self portrait at the moment, you have such creative and beautiful ideas! Your Instagram is a gem OMG. I do really love the editing part of the photo, would you consider doing a video where you show us how you edit your photo? It looks like you put beautiful coloured filter on it and I'm trying do that but I think I use the wrong tool, it never looks as I want it to be. Anyway you're a "rayon de soleil" as I would say in French (ray of sunshine in English I guess lol). Thank you for this wonderful content!
Love it!! Thanks for inspire us ❤️
This was awesome 👏🏼 I take my own photos with my iPhone i use portrait mode and with good lighting it definitely helps...and I know the struggle is hard but it’s super satisfying taking your own photos. I wanted to mention that in case anyone is using their phone as well, if you have a Apple Watch you can use that as a self timer for your phone. That way you don’t have to run back and worth! It’s definitely life saving...I agree with you in the lens it definitely makes a huge difference when stepping up your photo game. Thanks for the video! Keep up the inspiration. 🌈✨🙌🏼
Hi Jennifer! Ah what a good tip, I didn't know you can connect your phone to your Apple watch, that is such a convenient thing!! I was suprised at how the photo I took in the video with my phone was still so close to my camera version, I think the biggest difference was the colors and how much I could edit it afterwards. And when you see the two pics on a big screen you can see the difference more clearly, but for example if you are taking photos mainly to share on for example Instagra, phone works really well! :)) Even though, a camera is definitely a good investmentt if you take lots of photos and want to have more control :)
This is great! Self portraits are so popular right now with everyone being at home. I see lots of questions in photography groups. I posted yesterday a video about planning and preparing for self portraits. Practical things to do the day before,( like 2 different diy tripods hacks) but also a bit of mental mindset stuff to consider because I feel like that is half the struggle for some people. I would love to hear your take on how to overcome the mental and emotional obstacles to self portraits!!
Wow wow wowwww 😍😍😍😍😍😍💗💗💗💗💗
Love your videos💜💜💜
This was great! I'd love if you shared tips on how to get good indoor photos when you don't have a lot of good natural lighting (i.e. Small windows, poor house layout)
Great video! You have great skills for photography!
Okay, I never thought about taking a test photo first. Good to know now! Also, I appreciate the phone option, as well! Thank you for sharing your tips, Kika! xx
@7:55 Its a closeup image of your tripod head! Unless I am looking at it wrong and it is not broken you can set it to shoot vertical or portrait instead of landscape.
On the left side of the tripod head, The round knob that has a flat side on top and bottom should let you shoot in portrait mode.
You should be able to unscrew it and it will let you shoot in portrait instead of landscape. It should lock-in place! On the front side of the tripod plate is a release button to unlock the plate to shoot back in landscape.
I do have to say that is a very cheap tripod. If it gets the job done for you then it is good.
I don't recommend going cheap on a tripod when you are using an expensive camera and lenses in the hand of something that could fall over and cause damage!
I have used cheap tripods and found out they don't work for me!
Hopefully, this helps.
Thankyouu for your constant tips! About to dive in and learn something new as usual! I incorporate some of these new tips in my millennial self-help tips and faith channel 😊💞
You are a riot. I can’t wait to watch this later tonight and figure out how to incorporate my necklaces and earring products into your ideas so inspirational
Love u kika❤️ ... Love the way u be urself in the videos .. feels so good watching ur videos n the efforts u put in ... U bring in positive energy .. ✨
Hi Chikki! Ah I'm reading this comment with a huge smile on my face :)) Thank you so much for your kindness :))
@@Kutovakika ❤️😊 stay safe ! Will keep u in my prayers !
I absolutely adore your videos! they are such a ray of sunshine during this pandemic! I've been binging your channel :D With the phone photos there's a cool hack i use that I'd love to share with you!
I got a cheap selfie stick that comes with a lil shutter remote to take photos! If you take it off the selfie stick and connect it to your phone via Bluetooth it works perfect! no running back with self timer ^_^ highly recommend!
Great tips Kika 💃🏽 I just can’t get over that white blouse 😍 in love ♥️
I just love you and your brilliant ideas. Thank you.
Very well done and easy to follow along. Please can you add more videos on self portraits and product photography with your cellphone.
You are my favourite ma'am❤ from where you get so much I inspiration to click such awesome pictures
You always offer such great advice xxxxx
I am already a bit used to taking self portraits. I use a digital camera with wifi or my phone connected to a bluetooth headset to use a shutter button. 😅 But, I always love how cute and quirky (in a good way) your photos are. I wish I can do that kind of style to. It's weird, but looks reay good. Lots of love from Philippines
I am enjoying your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
4th comment !! I love you Kika !!❤❤❤
Ah thank you so much :))
Hello Kika, you have amazing creativity and imagination. Your pictures are fantastic 👍.
So helpful. Thank you sooooo much!
Your videos are always so much fun as well as being incredibly helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm with us.
Great video. Thank you!!!
you are just lovely! always inspiring to see what you're up to
Inspiring to just go out and do this selfportraiture
Thank you for these excellent videos! You helped me figure out a big dilemma I had. You recommended a certain size for Instagram and I wasn’t doing this because I thought I needed to shoot portrait (vertical) My tripod isn’t set up for that either. This is a great step by step!!
Hi! I’m so glad ro hear that my videos helped you figure it out 😀 Thank you so much for watching ☺️❤️
That potrait shot with you smelling those roses is so breath takingly beautiful and Gorgeous, please make a video on how to edit photos and please let me know what's the filter used
Seeing your videos gives me so much inspiration ✨, i hope i will be able to focus more into photography after my moving to another house . Love you kika 💕
You are my favourite human being
✨❤
This is such a good idea!! x
very nice! Love your sweet personality!
Do you know you can choose interval shooting in the settings of this camera? The camera will be do for example 1 shoot every 2second during 1min and you can change your poses. I'm sorry, my English is not good, maybe you talked about it and i just didn't understand....)))
I'm so happy to see you and inspiring your ideas!! Thank you!!!! Your channel is my relaxation and inspiration!:))
Wow. You put so much effort in your pictures. Thank you.
Your channel inspires me so much! I feel creative and happy whenever I watch your videos! Thank you so much, this really made me more creative!💖💖😍
From the Philippines😊😊 you are so cool. And soo inspiring😊😊😊😊
I love your videos. Very instructive and creative. Your voice and personally are soo charming. I'll love to have a conversation with you for hours! 😄
Hey girl! I love your content, keep up the good work!x
i have a tripod similar to yours and i do think urs too has the knob on the top left that you twist counterclock wise and the camera can swivel leftward as a portrait and lock it again...btw another brilliant video
What a great female photo artist 🤗
I absolutely love,
You've explained it depth thank you so much for that.
And you're looking breathtaking, à bonus you're beautiful and photogenic too 🌹
This was so helpful! I have an old Sony camera but the app that used to work with it doesn't exist anymore, but now I found a new one! Your tripod looks exactly the same as mine, it's a really cheap and old one. There is a "portrait mode" on it too though. It took me a few months to realise what bits I had to twist and turn to be able to place my camera on it diagonally. :)
I love your videos, Thank u so much!🙏🏻😻🌷✨
Will it be possible to do a video about all the different settings in a DSLR?You explain everything really well..💖
Nice ideas!
great job
I love your videos 💕
Nice techniques for quarantine
We love so much from INDIA (BHARAT).
You’re so lovely and inspiring! I’ve got my tripod once I started watching your videos lol
Thank you for all you do!
You are so wonderful to watch. Thank you for making my day 🙏🏻😂❤️
I’m surprised at the picture quality of the iPhone camera! I’ve heard many good things about it but seeing it next to a photo taken by a professional camera is really amazing 👍🏼 and I love how behind the scene is so hectic while the photo looks so chill 😆
I've been binge-watching your videos for the past 3 hours or so. Loooooooooved everything! You are so inspiring!! Just out of curiosity, are you sure you can't tilt that tripod to put the camera vertically? from the video it looks like it does! you just have to loosen that little knob down to the left of the base of the camera, flip it and tighten it again. God, I wish I could see better! hope you don't have to buy a new tripod! best of luuuck, I'm gonna keep on watching now lol :)
You have so many creative ideas, awesome.
U r so cute and funny....thanks for the vedio ☺😋
This was super helpful! Thanks for always sharing ideas. If you have more ideas to make different lighting modes work, just cause maybe we don’t have as the same light as yours (and you have such incredible bright light)😳😁
How about another part of a knitting tutorial? Perfect for a lockdown 🤗
^^ I clicked the button nice and friendly.
😃📷Thank you so much for this inspiring & informative video again! 🤗 Guess how I'm going to spend the Easter weekend! 😉📷
A tutorial .YES!!! 😍🦋
Hello Kika, what is the time there? It is already 1:30 am here in the Phil. I have a request, can you have a collab with Brandon Woelfel? His unique editing style and your creative style will surely result to a great photo, or do some photography shoot, I really want to see both of you in one video. Thank you! Keepsafe!
U remind me of Caroline Forbes from TVD🤷🏻♀️😂anyways great video💕 absolutely loved the idea
A camera is too heavy for me to hold and you can’t always have it with you. I have my iPhone with me at all times, which I prefer. Such awesome ideas. Thank you!
Thank you for always inspiring me with your VERY creative ideaasssssss!!!♡ love from Batanes, Philippines!
This really takes a lot of creativity and patience. 😊❤ Kika, this was awesome. Thank you. -michelle
I love u you're so simple
You are so sweet and genuine! Absolutely find your videos to be a TREASURE! Wish we were friends in real life! Followed you on IG this morning. Pls keep up the "take photos yourself" series, it's something I'd love to see more of...especially getting over the initial fear of posing in public (I've watched all your old videos already). Could you give us more tips on how to scout a good location, composition? Your Friend from Sunny Orlando, Fla! :)
Thank youuuu! Very helpful ❤️❤️
Love it ❤️
nice video👍
Another tip, usually when I take self portraits with my camera (that doesn't have a wifi option) I set it up to take 4 or 5 photos in a road, so I can change a little bit the expression or the pose I'm making, it helps to get a good shot without running back and forward so many times 😸
That is a really good tip, thank you for adding it! Yes i often find that the slightest tweak and change of the pose and angle can really make or break a photo :)
lol literally cracked up at the falling phone ... watched it four times already lol
