    I liked what Julia did, but I'm starting to question it. At 3:02 I tought exactly the same what she mentioned later at 6:37 😁 Aand finally she did at 7:35, noway! So , she argued against herself ;P So if she knows what is not worth to do then why is she doing 1 minute later?

    This video was great, and thank you SO much for explaining the "cropped" vs. not when it came to the feet in full body vs. sitting down photos. (Right before you brought it up I was sitting wondering, "Hey, wait a minute..."). In conjunction with what you were saying about using vs. minimizing Leading Lines, one thing that struck me in the photos is that: 1. In the case of the cropped foot at 5:43, another reason cropping the foot felt like it worked for the composition is that the two legs together created visual lines towards the Docs (rather than the model's face) and as a result tension between where a viewer's focus should be, and 2. By pivoting to reduce the leading lines in the photos at 8:24 you almost play an optical trick - in reality the vanishing point terminates at the (higher luminance) white door in the background, but by pivoting it creates a sense that the lines converge on the models face instead. Thank you for putting out all these great composition videos! I feel like I finally understand approaches to composition that have been eluding me for years 🥹

    I appreciate the tip with the negative space in the full body shot. I was still wondering why I don't like doing full body shots so much :D And the rest of the tips is something I agree with and I like to use those techniques too. By the way, using a 35 mm for portraits isn't too weird, I just need to buy a 35 mm to do it too ;)
