💬Which is your favourite look? Is there anything in here that you might want to give a try yourself? Let me know!
What is the name of these fabrics that you often paint in your videos?
Absolutely love the tone and aesthetic of this shoot – cinematic but effortless. Would love to see more of your actual editing process!
Color grading, how you handle skin tones, Lightroom vs. Capture One decisions, that subtle depth you get it’d be incredible to get a deep dive.
I feel like so many creatives would be obsessed with that. Please consider making something like that part of the series! 🙌🔥
Great video! Name of the c stand that allows you to mount the light upside down?
Very cool demo 😊
I really enjoy your content. Glad I found your page! Can I ask, what’s that you’re using to hold up the poly foam in the first set up?
this video was s helpful, motivated me to want to create!
Insane pics! bravo.
Could u make a video about your editing workflow? Keep going
God bless you for this! this was incredibly helpful Sophie! ❤
this is fire!

Finally a video that explains or I would say the only one on all of YouTube since the others put the title and just talk and talk and never explain how it's done.
5:00 Its name is "Jib" or "Crane", though at this size, it would be more like a Mini-Jib, or a "Mini-Crane" stand.
Love this video!
me gustan mucho tus colores, enseña como los haces
Stupid a.i. Translation
wow your channel has grown so much since the last time i stopped by, congrats on the growth!
Thank you Sophia for sharing your helpful and informative BTS! Good luck and keep photographing!
I was tryna find a look for our brand n this was perfect I love your color grading and your lighting style
great video, thanks
What material did you use for your backdrops??
Major love from Phoenix AZ ! My favorite channel .
Lovely work Sophia – Where did you find blank canvas of that size to paint?
Huge thank you for sharing your set ups and bouncing ideas about how to get creative with your set ups! I'm a wannabe (need to buy all the kit aha) constant light girlie coming from a video background, and doing more photoshoots I love being able to see how I can use the video kit I've got/getting for photos as well – so thank you!
Thank you so much for your creative input! You are my absolute favorite YouTuber. Your videos help me stay on track and take better photos. Thank you!
Your video is my favorite creative outlet for the week Sophia! As someone who doesn’t have easy access to studio, it gives me such a joy to see what you come up with each and every time! Love your videos of detail breakdown of the scene 💫
Great video Sophia, very versatile of the lights seems like you use smoke in one of the images of Gerard? The gradient idea was genius, much love to you and the team. Another baaaanger lol ~Londonlovesyou (V) (v) (V)
My favorite thing to do in studio is set ups that are super easy to change and get new looks. Great video!
I love this! Always inspire me to try new lighting set ups! Constant light has been huge in my bag recently as well!
This was great. I love your explanations and examples.
Could you make a video of how you edit photos? That matte style is great.
Hello Sophia, great backdrops ! Have to try to make some as well. Interresting that those little constant lights are bright enough for such a shoot. Great shots, inspiring as always. Thankx + Greetings from germany.
So cool to see all of the different styles of photos you can get by changing the lighting!
