    I have been learning how to use a DSLR for a bit now maybe 2 years? And I always see beautiful pictures but feel like for my taste, have too much post processing. But after I have found you, I have fallen in love all over again, you make your photos pop without losing that natural touch to it.. I've been binge watching all your videos and been shooting more than ever because you're honestly so inspiring ☺️ I'm still a newbie when it comes to Lightroom and Photoshop but you explain things so well that I've already learned to much from just a few videos

    Hi J love your work. I your video you said you were going for a natural look but at the same time you're removing all your model's skin details. Any reasons for that ? Thanks

    How do you take the photos from Narrative into Photoshop?

    Do your photos have a mat effect? If you’re using a preset do you have them for sale?

    I love your edits! Did you learn all by yourself or did you do a course on photoshop? ♥️♥️

    Hi Julia, I know there’s a grain slider in Lightroom. And I love the look of the disposable film preset. Is the grain able to be adjusted with slider? Thanks for the great content as always! 😊

    I really love your videos, Julia! Very informative. Can I ask about the specs of your computer system? Mine is just not running Lightroom well at all. It is so slow and I feel like it takes 3 times as long as it should to edit a photo session.

    To be honest, I love every video you made 😳😳😳but definitely!! It would be so so nice if you can make more step about how you select photos!!!
    And hope that you can make some more tutorials about edit! I practice by following how your videos did, but It’s so hard to get clean but add some style to photos >< i think that’s because I over edited …… hope there a video can explain more about analysis the “before” photos so make this edit step become better…… this is just my wish >< don’t be stressful and always thank you so much for making videos!!!!❤️❤️❤️

    Hi Julia, do you also print photos you have edited? Or some? Or no printing at all? Does the model in this case get the digital copies? How do you back up all these photos?

    Hi Julia.i have been a big fan of your work for a while. i love your videos and behind the scenes, i learn so much from them. thank you for all the help and inspiration you provide us at all times it's priceless. but i do have a very important question that i can't seem to get anywhere and i think it's very important to the workflow process. how do i know?, or better yet how do i get the correct skin exposure on the camera LCD what is it that i need to look at carefully about the skin exposure as i take the shot? especially if it's soft light or back lit situations and what do i need to avoid so i can achieve consistency through the whole photo shoot that regards the skin ? thank you again for all the help.
