how do I capture a sunrise picture but with light on the model I get mostly a silloette picture
Wow! Thanks for all the great tips! I would have neeeeever thought to try that "hand over the face trick" (to see where the sunlight cast shadows on your subject)… it seems like such a common thing to do when shooting outdoor portraits, but being a beginner I would have never thought of this on my own. Thank you so much, Jess!
Her tattoos are so cute
beautiful model
you are so funny it makes it fun to watch the tutorial as i learn
How do you go about flash in this situation when you have to use it?
hi Jessica, I wanna start my own photography.business. what photography equipments do I need. do you have a video that shows this or if not can you make one pls? l love your photography tutorials. very simple and easy to understand. looking forward to seeing this video. thanks
if i do this why do i get a silhouette every time 🙁
Love ur videos they're so entertaining
I want to shoot backlit so bad but when i tried it all i had were blown white photos with a silhouette
the one that you shoot in shade was wonderful….
Just what I needed for my daughter's senior pics
"you probably have a really nice mountain with a castle" lmao that was funny
can still capture that kind of shots in a canon 1100D? and its original lens?
LOVED this tutorial Jessica, very very informative! Thank you so much!
LMAO "Australia" implying castles and mountains. but no seriously thanks for the tutorial.

did you use the flash when you were in the shade?
Thank you this is videos very helpful I've been taking pictures since 2013
GREAT video tutorial….my fav is capturing the natural activities of people and this is really going to help with using natural light, which is also my fav way of taking photos, plus I don't have all the reflectors and light equipment yet. You do a great job of teaching, thanks so much.
wow… you re a picture taker. typical picture taker.
i love u
Jessica you have single handedly inspired me to learn photography. I admire how you have evolved in such a small period of time. You are a lovely person I think,because you share your craft so freely for other people's benefit. Thanks for inspiring so many of us.
This really helped, thank you 🙂
thank you so much. I love it
What lens is she using?
Hi Jessica, what do you do when shooting backlit and the model's face does not get enough light/there's a shadow so that her face is not visible?
Why you do not use soft box ?
Jessica, just started watching your videos today. It's encouraging to watch someone who had the drive to be self taught and go for what they want. I took photography back in high school and have just recently been itching to get back into it. Watching your videos is stoking that fire again. So Thank you. Currently I have a canon rebel xsi (I know it's an older model).
Hey ur videos are real fun and awesome teaching techniques
No fancy equipments and stuff make them different ?❤️
Just Wow. Thanks Jessica for posting it really helped me ! xoxo <3
I love backlit!!
Great video, very informative! With the backlit shots, can you only do this around sunset?
Where's your lens cap???
Thank you… you are a great teacher. Natural…..
