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
I’m no photographer but wow you do an amazing job. And I love watching you videos😊
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!!

Hi Sarah, you are like the Amy Lee ( Evanescene) of "Selfie Landscape" photography ... you rock and so do your photos!
Welcome to KZread Sarah! Awesome video and amazing images.... Nailed it!

I am glad you started a youtube channel ever since I saw you promoting the the Shimoda X30 I said surely she has YT channel but at that time you haven't. You make amazing photos!
You're a natural Sarah - nicely done!

Great video and great advice on these kind of photos. You take wonderful self-portraits and landscape photos. Found you first on Instagram! Keep on the good work!
I am currently in calagry visiting rocky mountain and enjoy the photography. Hope sometime meet you sarah
Great first video, learnt a lot from it.
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.

Tommi Mäkinen Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!! Yes confidence to just go out and take the actual self portrait is key. Once you take them they totes aren’t scary anymore!!
Great video, thank you
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!!
Don't know how cutting Slit in my dress will help, I'll have to ask the wife. Lol .great video
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.

liked the idea of ENVIRONMENTAL SELF-PORTRAITS , great video
Awesome that you started a channel, womanpower in photography-youtubeland 💪🏽 I really like videos in the field the best, you learn the most by seeing others do it, potentially interchange with shots at home for further context/explanation

So fare Nothing to be ashamed of. Well done! Just keep on, love Your image and composition, all of them can stand on their own feet, so You posing in them just raise the level!

Well done Sarah! I love your self portraits. 2 questions: what settings do you use? Do you composite 2 images to get the stillness of the water? What I would love more of is editing tips and tricks

This is a good question, can't wait to see the answer. If an ND was used, for sure it must be a composite.

Hi Bonnie! I hope you are doing well. This will all be coming out in a video very soon! :D
Sarah, How do you "focus" on you? Or is focus not an issue since you set your aperture at F11, or F16, etc,? Thank you.
Being an older, bald and heavy dude with a bad posture was the main reason why I chose to hide BEHIND a camera. I am confident that I dont look great on images. Yeah, I would need models, but being old and bald...
