The Canon 35mm f1.4 mark 1 has been my favourite Canon lens since I upgraded to the Canon 5Dmkii. I use the 35mm prime focal length heavily for fashion, portrait and wedding photography.
During today’s golden hour portrait photoshoot, I wanted to try the Canon 50mm f1.2 L portrait lens adapted to the Sony A7III. I am using the Metabones 4 adaptor, updated to the latest firmware. In the video I share with you the eye AF performance and autofocus accuracy of what it’s like shooting with Canon lenses adapted to Sony. I also share SOOC photos for you to have a look at the image quality as well. Please subscribe to my channel, I upload new photography tutorials every single week!

Today we are testing out how the Canon 85mm f1.2L II works on the Sony A7III with a Metabones adaptor. I decided to do a photoshoot in harsh sunlight to experiment with something different, and I'll do another photoshoot soon with the 85mm in softer light so we can compare results.

For this countryside portrait photoshoot I was taking photos on the Canon 5D4 and the Canon 35mm f1.4 II lens. This was my first time taking the Canon 35mm f1.4 II for a portrait photoshoot and I was so excited to be using it! I noticed straight away that the autofocus was faster than the Canon 35mm f1.4 mkI version of the lens and the final images were so much sharper.
I have since done many portrait photoshoots on the Canon 35mm f1.4 II. One of my favourites is this golden hour session with Kristina where we captured lots of movement on the 5D4.

Last week, Dan and I had the chance to visit Fiji for a wedding we were capturing. We decided to take a few extra days of holidays after the wedding so we could make the most of being somewhere so beautiful! We stayed in 2 places during our week in Fiji, both on the coral coast. The first hotel was the Warwick for the wedding, and the second place was a group of private villas called Maui Palms.
Since it’s winter in Australia at the moment, we were so excited to be somewhere that was always warm. I was mesmerised by the crystal clear water which looked like glass, all the colourful fish swimming in and around the coral when we spent 2 whole days just snorkelling and the vibrant sunsets.
I still love being able to document my travels for YouTube as I love watching back and seeing all the places I visited. This time though, I wanted to try something new and incorporate more teaching into my vlogs, so they are still interesting and educational for you guys to watch! Let me know what you think of this new format :) I have my second and final vlog from Fiji coming this Saturday!
The majority of these photos were edited with my Florence Lightroom Preset as I found the vibrant colours with a film-like look suite the photos from Fiji perfectly. I used a few other presets throughout the blog post too, which I will leave links for in the description in case you’re interested to see what photos were edited with what presets!

Kiara Rose and I met years ago through our photography. We used to plan photoshoots together and collaborate together on different creative shoots. Now Kiara lives in Portland, Oregon but recently she came back to visit Australia and while she was here we ended up catching up over a 4 hour coffee/brunch session and later that afternoon spent some time taking portrait of each other.
We created a behind the scenes of our little photo session which you can watch below! I really want this to be a new series of "Photographers Take Photos of Each Other", so please keep an eye out for part 2 and suggest anyone I should do this video with next time!
I'll link all her final photos of me once she's published her blog post :)

The Canon 5Dmkiv is a DSLR camera that I am using for portrait photography with the Canon 35mm f1.4 II. I recently upgraded my 35mm from the Canon 35mm f1.4 mark 1 and I am absolutely loving the focusing speed and sharpness of the final images.
I am using the Sony A7ii mirrorless camera body and the Canon 5Dmkiii DSLR. My current camera body that I use for all my photography work is the Canon 5D mk3. While I love using my Canon camera, I am also very interested in the world of mirrorless cameras. Specifically the mirrorless cameras Sony has to offer.
Last week Dan and I made our way to Tasmania to capture a photo + video wedding. We decided to take a few extra days while we were there to be able to explore a part of Australia we’ve always wanted to go to. We landed in Launceston early Wednesday morning and spent our day checking out various lookouts before checking into our beautiful Airbnb house which was on a farm in the countryside. From there onwards we spent our week exploring Lake St Claire, photographing the gorgeous backyard wedding that we will share soon, visiting Cradle Mountain National Park and Freycinet National Park. I absolutely adore Tasmania, there is so much green everywhere you look and sometimes it really feels like you’re the only people in the entire state. I would love to come back soon!

This week I asked my friend Chevelle if she would like to take some photos with me. I last shot with Chevelle in 2015 - 3 years ago! This time I wanted to keep the shoot as simple as possible - just taking some portraits of my friend at the beach. So I only brought my camera + 1 lens (no camera bag) and I had a spare battery in the car just in case. I asked if she could do some really simple/light makeup on herself and asked her to bring a flowy dress. We ended up taking photos for about an hour at the beach in the afternoon and I just keep finding time and time again, that sometimes the most simple shoots are the most magical.

It was soon time to say goodbye to Argentina, but not without one last stop! On our flight back home I decided to have a 24 hour layover in Mendoza so we had the chance to explore one last place before heading back to Sydney. My dad has visited pretty much everywhere there is to see in Argentina when he used to live there, but he was excited to see it again and this time with me!
We landed in Mendoza in the early hours of the morning and were picked up from the airport by the tour guide we booked in the afternoon before. We dropped off our suitcases in their office and the tour to the High Mountain was on it’s way!
Just a little side note if you’re ever in Mendoza/South America: when I called on the phone and also emailed the tour company while booking in our places, everything was done in English. Then when the tour started, the tour guide spoke in Spanish all day! This was fine for me since I can understand Spanish perfectly. But if you’re ever booking a tour in South America, be sure to double check if the actual tour is going to be in English or not just in case the same thing happens to you!
Out first stop of the day was Lake Potrerillos which you can see in the first few photos of this blog post. We then continued our drive through the valley where we saw el Puente del Inca which is a natural arch that forms a bridge over the Vacas River. There are hot springs inside the building under the bridge which you used to be able to get to, but they closed it off years ago. Interesting story about this place - there used to be a whole village next to the bridge, until one day there was an earthquake that destroyed everything except for the bridge and a church - and they are still standing today.
After el Puente, we headed on the windiest, scariest road up a mountain I’ve ever been on in my life! When we reached the top, we were almost 4000 meters above sea level (so the altitude sickness was real!) and up here is where you can see the Christo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer of the Andes) and stand with one foot in Chile and one foot in Argentina!
That was the final stop of our tour. We stopped for a lunch and then headed back to Mendoza where my dad and I slept and woke up the next morning to hop on a plane back to Sydney! I was home in Sydney for a couple of weeks before heading off yet again this time to Dubai, Lebanon and followed by Poland! It's been a busy year this year!
I filmed vlogs every single day while I was in Argentina, they’re all up on my YouTube Channel if you want to see!

You can read about my time in Buenos Aires in this blog post, but I wanted to dedicate an entire blog post to our morning visiting La Boca. I was blown away with how beautiful this place is, the colourful buildings, the interesting people, the history behind it all - I loved it so much! If you ever go to Buenos Aires I highly recommend that this is a must-visit place!
My dad, his friend and I walked through the streets of La Boca and I my eyes were constantly darting around trying to take everything in. The buildings here are painted in the most bright colours you will ever see, there are so many details and figures of people hanging around the town, street artists to watch and so many cute souvenirs to look at. I got to see Caminito which is a narrow street where the Italians first immigrated. If you watch my vlogs, my dad asked one of the street performers who was playing the accordion to play a traditional Argentinian song for me!
After La Boca, we headed to San Telmo where they have weekend markets and a beautiful plaza under the trees where you can eat and watch people dance the Tango.
See the rest of my photos from Buenos Aires here! And please subscribe to my YouTube Channel, I’ve released vlogs from every day I was in Argentina + I release new videos twice a week!

After an emotional goodbye with Mar Del Plata, my dad and I’s next stop was Buenos Aires, Argentina! I couldn’t contain my excitement for being in this city, and I had a huge smile on my face pretty much the entire weekend we were there.
Our first stop in Buenos Aires was the renovated Puerto Madero which is a tourist centre by the water with lots of restaurants and beautiful views. We stopped to grab some lunch here. Something I noticed that I really love about Argentina is how colourful everything is. I am in love with the brightly painted buildings - yellow, pink, blue and all the murals painted on the walls. It gives the city such character and also so many things to photograph!
My dad and I rented an amazing airbnb on the main street in Buenos Aires which had the perfect view of the Obelisco (the tall white sculpture in the heart of the city). We spent our weekend visiting so many sights: walking around the picturesque suburb of Recoleta, visiting the cemetery in La Recoleta, we made our way to the Plaza de Mayo and saw the Casa Rosada, we explored La Boca and the Parque Tres de Febrero where they have a never ending rose garden, among so many other things!
I also vlogged my entire time in Argentina which you can watch on my YouTube Channel! Next stop is Mendoza.
