Since it sometimes takes me a while to get back to everyone here are some of the common questions I was asked on my social media sites along with my answers, hopefully some of you find them helpful! Thank you all for your continued support!
Q: I’m a big fan of your work. I saw you mention that you were thinking of doing a postprocessing tutorial. I would love to see how you go from a raw image to a final shot. Thanks for posting these videos. -authalic
A: I will be posting post processing tutorials in the future. I also am currently offering post processing workshops on an individual basis and will be offering group sessions in the near future.
Q: Amazing, I’m a huge fan! I was just wondering what lens you used for this shoot? -mycool
A: I mostly used the Sigma 85mm 1.4 lens, it is currently my favorite!
Q: What does the guy on the right holds in his hands at 0:23? -MrsFirefly0

Q: Hi Emily. I always learn one or two things from each vid. I will ask one question… Do you have a go-to brand and “stop” ND filter? -in2food
A: I use the B+W ND filter


Love this! What’s the song you used? You should put them at the end, because they are always good.
Hi Emily, how many stop are your ND filter, your pictures are awesome
Hi Emily simply by watching from the bts and some photos i’ve learned a lot already… thank you so much
