Thank you again , always helpful

Omg, I totally accidentally found your channel while looking for tips that you give in this video. I am from Ukraine, live in the US and my first girlfriends name back in kinder garden was Yulia Panchenko. I found another one. Lmao.

Magnificent videos. Perfectly done 👍✅. You are very brilliant in many blessings. Happy Saturday 😊. Huge Hugs 🤗.

Yes, I agree.. useful sharing

It's crazy how smartphones these days can take a similar video while keeping that window well expose including the b!uesky as well as the subject. I'm new to dslr and I realize how much I hate taking photos against the windows. 😅 So much to learn and I hope my patience can keep up.

Thank you madam

Some times I had same problem to decide between to take a silhouette or get everything like in HDR. In case you want second option you can use many things to provide light on subject as a white paper, a shirt, a blanket, etc. etc. Of course a real HDR is a solution for those who want everything like me :) Any how, silhouette is an artistic option to be considered. Thanks, for tips so helpful given by you.

GREAT!!!

1:35 is my favorite part 🤪

Another way is to expose the ambient(background in this case) 1-2 stops down at the aperture needed for the background being inside the DOF for the subject. Stopped down, will require a slow shutter speed for such as 1/10 sec.. Once that meters properly for the background, add flash in BL("balanced" light mode and REAR Curtain flash triggering) to expose the subject. Be sure to have the the window at an angle so flash reflected light does not alter the flash power.. If the background is not against a window, you can ignore the angle suggestion. This technique is useful for events where you want room light properly exposed so the background scene or action properly exposed but the flash lighting the only the subject. This is very effective and easy to balance the room exposure to the near subject.. You can drop to even lower speeds if you would like the background action with light trails showing motion. The flash power falls off very quickly with distance so flash does not contribute to the background exposure. but the subject is properly exposed. and any motion of the subject is frozen by the the short flash duration.. The term for this is Dragging the Shutter. When done as described the room is well exposed and can look like a well lit room or daylight so it does no look like a flash shot at all. Be sure to under expose background 1-2 stops before turning on the flash or the subject will be under exposed. It sounds more complicate than it is and can be used in many applications like clubs. real estate or weddings where the different light colors and looks, such as strobes and lasers in a dance club or wedding reception to look natural You subject needs to be closer to you than the background scene.

Nice and direct! Perfect video that shows many great options. When I have shot this style before, and I didn't have a light or reflector, I shot two images with my camera on a tripod. One of the scene outside of the window and then one of my model subject posing in the window. Then I just masked and made adjustments to the image blend in photo shop. More work, indeed, but compositing can be another option. Love your videos =)

How many watts of continuous light did you use?

Another idea would be to take the picture both ways and combine them 😁

What would happen if you used a flash? I just started RU-vid university for photography.

Gut 👍💯🌹

This is really helpful information, thanks!

Hi a off camera flash will also work?

I thought the bit where you said “a silhouette image is a photographic style, but an overexposed image is just a bad image” was somewhat funny. Why can’t a properly exposed face with blown out background be a photographic style too?

We are not media person who will keep a light with us for photo clicks

Flash ??

Can we appreciate that she is exposed just right? 😊

I thought my screen was dirty until I realized that you had debris on the lens because of the dark spot on the video.

Your videos are getting better and better, I like your evolution! I loved the third "silhouette" tip as I'm a fan of "getting the most of what you have". Congratulations Yuliya😊

My princess is always great information, you are always very beautiful

diosa

Are you from China?

1way more , take 2 photo , 1 model , 1 backgr , meg in PTS

I assure you, a lot of people are exposed on -not- your face neither the background.

As a photographer, everything she said is correct, But I must admit, I like the silhouette. 😁

That's an expensive solution

You never see male boudoir photography

Hi Yuliya. Honestly I don't like this video very much, but what I like are you posing videos. You are absolutely brilliant in explaining and walking the model and audience thru the poses. I would love to see more of that content. And just in case you come to Europe(Germany) it would be great to have a workshop ;-)

Thanks your idea #JADHUG

I hate you didn't give the camera and flash settings - geesh. Basically worthless

Lol your shirt looks like noise 😂😂😂

Switch on flash 😂😂

❤️❤️❣️❣️👏👏🌹🌹💌💐💐
