    Awesome video! I’m already looking to improve my self portraits so I appreciate your tips! Cutting the dress is a great idea, never thought of it

    Right on Sarah! I've been nagging Viktoria to start a channel, less crusty old guys talking photography and more women I say, good for you. Great start!!

    You are a welcome addition to landscape photographers to follow on youtube, Sarah! Nice pointers about self-portaits (and just about adding a person to the scene) that you gave here, thank you! Have to agree with you about gaining confidence about myself when I started taking more of these self-portaits myself in the last summer. I never really liked taking pictures about myself, but when I started to add myself on landscapes, it made me a lot more confident about being in the front of the camera (and seeing myself in awesome scenes, it really does boost my overall confidence a bit). ..now I need to learn how to give directions to someone else, as I am learning to shoot with someone else in the frame.

    3 years 2 months and 11 days later!!! OMG, what a difference!! I recognize the face, but the voice? So young sounding. I would never guve away a womens age, but your voice has the pitch of a 20 year old. First off, I don't like my stomach either. My legs are hairy with no hair on my head, and i can't seem to find a dress that flatters my figure. 😊. I just had to give back and watch your first video. You've come a long way, ma lady!!

    I was sent by “the photographic eye” channel. I watched a couple of vids and liked them so much I decided to start at the first one with intent to watch them all. I subbed and followed. I see you usually reply to the comments. I know it’s hard to comment to all as you grow but hope to get a comment when you have a chance. Good light from AZ. Looking forward to watching more.
