  1. You can set the 5d3 so that you don't have to press the grid to change the focus point. Touching the joystick will move the focus point directly. Much nicer for fast paced situations and saves one click. Custom Controls then last icon on bottom right, Multi-controller change from Off to AF point direct selection.

  2. Hey Julia! Iโ€™ve watched your video and iโ€™am separating my shutter from my focus. My hit rate increase a lot! Itโ€™s getting used to but itโ€™s definitely worth it. Just to consider try it if you have time. I cannot imagine focusing another way.

  3. Great video. Have watched it 3xs now and am taking it all in. Quick question… you talk about how tilting the camera causes the shot to get out of focus with shallow depth of field. How do you recompose without tilting the camera (at 3:20 minutes). Is there a different motion that works better? Do you mind elaborating on that? Thanks, Julia.
    Appreciate all the time that went in to this video!

  4. its quite a skill to shoot wide open .. I know I struggle at times even with my sony mirrorless camera that has facial recongnition & eye auto focus… the thing I always try & do is take my time & check my images to make sure I got the shot I wanted & crucially in focus.. & if not shoot it again.. .. thanks for sharing your techniques.. appreciated

  5. Thanks for this Julia!
    I had an idea for a video for you that might be interesting. I'm just starting out with photography and for now I have a Sony A6000. I know eventually I'm going to upgrade to a nice full frame pro body, and I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with Sony and get the A7RIII, or switch to canon and get a 5d Mark iii.

    I notice that people tend to get nice filmic, ethereal looking photos out of the Canon cameras, while the Sony tends to look more sharp and digital with colder tones. Not sure how much of that is the camera and how much is the user.

    So I thought, what if you used Dan's Sony camera and did a photoshoot with it? Would your style carry over, or would your photos look different? I'd be really curious to see.

  6. Hi Julia!
    Amazing work as usual. I always check your videos as a source for inspiration and like you, I consider myself a natural light photographer. Your tips help a lot =)
    One thing though, I donยดt know if youยดve done a video about this before but how do you go about pricing your work? It is a touchy subject I suppose but a professionalยดs point of view is always appreciated =)
    Much love from Brazil <3

  7. Good tips. But the multiple shots on one shot without releasing the button is when you're standing still and the model as well so it's not moving as in the title. Might be confusing for beginners because if the model would be walking towards you only the first one will be in focus …
