You have a wonderful gift and a very warm way about you. Thank you for sharing. I only ever use a Canon 70-200mm but your work challenges me to be more creative.
Hi Trang! I'm so glad you enjoyed my video! I definitely plan on doing more behind-the-scenes videos for all types of sessions in the future! I have some really fun shoots and videos in the works and just need to find time to actually edit my footage! Thank you for your comment and I hope you stick around to see my future videos! Lillian :D
Hey! Thank you so much! I plan on making a video showing how I edited this session and I will talk about my camera settings for these shots in-depth, but until then I will say that my settings are generally as follows: ISO between 100-600 F-stop between 1.8-3.2 Shutter as fast as possible, haha I hope that helps until I get the editing video up!
Hi Amara!!! Thank you so much. I am so glad that my video was helpful to you! For this session, I was using my Canon EOS R body and my Canon 35mm 1.4ii lens. I try to keep sessions like this pretty light equipment-wise because I know I'll likely be running around with kiddos and don't want to be encumbered by a bunch of equipment. :D Thanks again! Lillian
Thank you, Meg! I definitely plan on making more BTS videos! I already have a few filmed and just need to find the time to get things edited. So glad this was helpful! -Lillian
This video is amazing and your work is stunning. Have you had the chance to create the editing part refering to this behind the scenes??? Would love to see it🥰 greetings from germany.
Hay would love to know what camera settings you used for this ? & also what settings so that your photos didn't come out blur with all the movement happening . Thanks so much x
Hello, im from Belarus) i like a lot your video)) may be one day can you tell about sun... you take photos with sun and they r amazing... when i take photos i have very dark shadows and white background((
Hey Thomas! For this session, I used my Prime 35mm from Canon. The 35mm prime is my workhorse lens and what I use 80-90% of the time! My second favorite lens is the Sol45 by Lensbaby (I didn't use it for this session) and my third favorite lens is the Canon 100mm Macro (also not used for this session). I don't currently have any zoom lenses because traditionally a Prime lens will give you sharper focus, BUT I have rented the new RF24-70 f2.0 by Canon was blown away by it! So, in general, a prime lens should give you a sharper focus than a zoom, however, the new Canon RF series lenses are changing the game! I hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching! :D Lillian
I wouldn't say it is so necessarily intentional, as much as I didn't have a need for it in this session. When I store my camera and lens in my bag it won't fit with the lens hood turned the right way around I'll just keep it on backwards until I need to switch it around. In general, I don't mind a few sun flares or a bit of haze in my work so I don't use the lens hood as often as others might, but I do use it occasionally! Great question!
Hi Joanmarie! My favorite lens is the Canon 35mm 1.4! It is what I use 90% or the time, including in this video. I've also used the Sigma 35mm which is wonderful.
