Hi Julie, please, what do you have on the sony alpha IV? battery grip? External launcher? External disk? Or? thank you for answer.
Or is it the trigger cable from the external flash? I am thinking of buying a camera :). Does it handle the backlight so well in the video, or did you use an external flash or reflector? thanks in advance
Backlit + 35mm - lens hood = Trademark Julia 👌👌👌👌👌

Excellent video with lots of great tips! My question is what metering mode is the best for such photos, would it be spot or center? How do I achieve so much light in the face of the person with backlit scenes? Thank you 💓

shutterstock is a black shop
I bought a five-picture package from you for US49. I downloaded three pictures for the first time. When I downloaded the second time, you didn't show any price or it was different from the package I bought or prompted to download it, and my credit card was automatically charged. After the second US199, the credit card monthly statement was sent after the discovery.
When registering an account, a credit card was naturally bound and different prices were mixed into the package I bought, but I didn’t know the situation and downloaded it, that is to say, your website design is a trap, and you don’t care about goodwill to protect your own interests. Now you send an email to express no. Refund, I suspect you are a black shop.
useful and amazing video as always :)
you're awesome!
You seem very confident in your style and it's something some of us would love to have! I'm also glad you are having this channel, because it s informative and helpful. Can't wait to see more.
I have a question. Do you use any filter on your lenses to catch light likr this?
Thank you always for sharing such great advice🌈. Do you print your pictures if so, could you make a video on which printer and paper you use?
Very good video!
This is sooooo useful, Julia! Love all your tips! I will give it a try on my next photoshoot. Do you like using ND filters for your pictures?
Yes More Natural Light Please
top notch
julia i like this
Just love this beautiful light fantastic...
When you say you expose for the model are you using spot metering and then reducing the exposure ?
Thank you so much! I felt inspired from your videos and tried some backlight photography on my dog, but I think the sun was too much behind her so my camera struggled to focus on her and she got a bit blurred out and a "white layer" was plastered all over the photo from the sunlight hehe. I think I need an ND-filter too, I haven't used one before but maybe it will help with such things.
Yay!
Wow
super
Hi Julia, great video. Would you mind mentioning what type of wireless HDMI transmitter system you’re using and how you’re recording it? (If that’s what’s on the side of your camera there) Thanks! 🙌🏻
I want a heart from Julia😭❤️
Thank you for giving very good suggestion❤️
Love from India Julia
Thank you for watching!
nice
8:42 I was wondering what kind of weird squirrel that was in the background until I noticed 😂
which metering mode better to use in backlight? spot, partial or .... ?
Can you do a video only shooting in landscape orientation? Like tips or sth. I always shoot in portrait (I do like it more), and I want to add variety, but landscape orientation shots never look that good when I do them (except for group photos)
Hi Julia,I love outdoor photography however,I don't know what to do with my photograph..where will I watch a video of your workflow editing from first to finish?
Hey Julia! Nice informative video. Just wondering, do you ever use bloom/mist filter on you photoshoots?

hi miss,i used canon 1100 brand and tell me how to shoot nicely
Best lenses for taking backlight portraits?
Great video. You also use a reflector to get more light to the face?
Thanks! I personally don't, I don't like how it looks. I prefer using natural reflectors in my location instead.
❤️❤️❤️ Antonino italy
What about those areas where there is no trees like on beech point r any other places such as during landscape photography that backlight passing through edges of the mountains how we can capture these photos
Are you using a picture profile or log profile even for photos? If not Can you do that?
Do you need a speedlight as a filler when taking these photos or they are not needed at all
Great video, very helpful! Sub+👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍
How do you ensure the subject does not get dark in back-lit condition?
on backlight, do you use only 1.2?
What are the lenses in the video? xf33mm f1.4 Is it?
I'm just curious how many photos you take in one photo session and how much you actually give to the client? 😁
☀️ 45°
When I under expose to preserve the highlights I have a hard time bringing back bringing back skin tone, especially pale skin tones, and making them look natural. They usually tend to look dull and gray. Any tips? Thanks
External flash
I get you I was also looking for that answer that doesn't included flash
She said shoot at an angle
I usually bring up the brightness, touch highlights just a bit then I do a skin correction to get Rich skin tones not sure what editors your using i use Affinity and luminar neo.
Hey Julia, I have a question, what are your camera’s settings when you’re doing backlight photography? I mean, specifically when you take the picture underexposed intentionally?
You can see some values at 7:18. Lens there is Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM
My camera always struggle to get AF on backlit subject, and even if it says it is on it always feel soft...
I have an idea for a new video. Shooting in harsh light using aps-c camera (like Sony a6000 and similar)
PSA: Shooting backlit photos with the Helios 44-2 is 🔥

What photo editor are you using?
The one where you showed the histogram
Join the dark exposure side 📷
I’m struggling with editing photos taken where my subject is surrounded with a lot of greenery. The skin tone just looks awful. How do you avoid that?
Do you shoot in raw?
Did you end up figuring out to balance the green with magenta?
Hii Julia ...love from Durgapur, India🧡....i would like to ask that which lens(es) would be best according to you starting fashion and portrait photography from scratch ...and which camera body would you prefer?
50mm.......she started her career with 50mm..I think
35mm, 50mm and 85mm and any camera but ones with eye detection auto focus is going to be very helpful
