For this portrait photoshoot, I am making use of the Sony A6600 camera body and the Sony 35mm f1.8 lens. The Sony A6600 is a crop-frame mirrorless camera in Sony’s Alpha series. It features a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor that delivers images with excellent detail.
The Nikon Z8 is a 46 megapixel full frame camera, featuring a fully electronic shutter. During this portrait photoshoot with the Z8, I am using 2 lenses. The Nikkor Z 35mm f1.8 S and Nikkor Z 85mm f1.2 S. Watch my behind the scenes video to see the SOOC unedited photo at 100% crop. The photos in this blog post are my final, edited version of the images from the Nikon Z8.
Should you use a Mist filter for your portrait photography? During this portrait photoshoot, I take side by side photos using a Pro-Mist Filter vs not using a filter. I organised this portrait session with Wiktoria while I was travelling through Poznan, Poland in the summer.
Choosing the right focal length for the scene is half the work in photography. Depending on what focal length you choose, can drastically change what the photo looks like. In this series, I will be comparing all main prime lens focal lengths at portrait photoshoots. We are starting this series off on the wide end with the 24mm vs 35mm!
Our final day in Prague included another sunrise start. The best way to capture stunning shots of a city in the middle of summer is to get up before everyone else does haha. This morning we decided to head to the Prague Old Town Square. WOW it was beautiful with the bright, sunrise light streaming through the buildings.
It was a slow, rainy 5 hour drive from Poznan, Poland to make it to Prague, Czech Republic. We arrived in the late afternoon and checked into our hotel. It was one of the only hotels left in the city with parking which was a tight squeeze to get into. We dropped off our bags and wandered around the streets of Prague during the light afternoon rain which felt so fresh in the middle of summer.
I thought I would share my street photography separately in this post instead. I captured all these photos with my Sony A7IV + GM 35mm f1.4.
Finally, the travel blogs are back!! It's been 3 years since I went overseas, my last trip being to Scotland to do photography for a wedding. Now that the Australian borders have opened again, Dan and I decided to head back to Gdansk, Poland to see his family. By the end of our first whirlwind week we were ready to head off on our month-long road trip. First stop - Poznan, Poland!
The Sony A7RV is a full frame, 61 megapixel camera for stills and video. The A7RV weighs 723g, almost as heavy as the flagship Sony A1 which weighs 736g. The Sony A7RV received a huge overhaul to Sony's well known eye AF. The A7RV now uses an AI processing unit to improve the camera's subject recognition capabilities. The new AI processing unit allows the A7RV to have better accuracy with autofocus and more variety in autofocus subjects. These autofocus subjects include humans, animals, birds, insects, trains, planes and cars. Watch my Sony A7RV real world review video below. I share real time human, animal and insect subject recognition examples in stills and video.
The Samyang 35mm f1.4 mkII is a prime lens for Sony E mount. I am testing this lens out on location to see how it performs in the real world at a portrait photoshoot. I am using the Samyang 35mm f1.4 II on the Sony A7IV for photography and on the A7sIII for video tests.
To create the Sony 14mm f1.8 GM lens review video, I roadtripped with Dan to the Blue Mountains during peak autumn colours. I wanted to make the most of these gorgeous orange and red leaves so Dan took portraits of me with the Sony 35mm f1.4 GM and Sony A7III.
The Canon EOS R6 is a full frame mirrorless camera body featuring 20MP files and dual card slots. I am using it for portrait photography with the RF 35mm f1.8. This 35mm is a budget friendly RF mount lens for Canon. It is a small and lightweight lens and features a Control Ring.
Every portrait photographer should have a range of poses for their subject at a photoshoot. I work with many talented models who often already know how to pose and move around in front of the camera. I also work with people who have never been in front of a camera before and have no idea what to do!
The Fujifilm X-S10 is a small, light weight and very capable mirrorless camera featuring an X-Trans APSC sensor. The X-S10 focuses on simplicity and ergonomics making it an extremely user friendly camera.
The Sony A7C is a small and lightweight full frame mirrorless camera with IBIS. In today’s review of the Sony A7C I will be sharing some SOOC 100% crop images taken with the Zeiss 35mm f1.4 and FE 28-60mm f4-5.6 kit lens.
The Samyang 35mm f1.8 for Sony E mount is a fast, wide angle prime lens. I am using this lightweight and compact 35mm on the Sony A7C for this lens review.
The 35mm prime focal length is the perfect lens for travel photography. In this video I share with you 5 reasons you should consider adding a 35mm lens to your camera kit.
The GM 35mm f1.4 is Sony’s newest and pretty much perfect 35mm prime lens for FE mount cameras. In this first impressions video I will be using the GM 35mm f1.4 lens on the Sony A7III and Sony A7C camera bodies.
In this photography tutorial, I share my favourite portrait composition tips to capture better looking portraits. I chose an urban location for this photoshoot, since having a distracting background with lines, different colours and textures is helpful to see the before & afters of my composition tips.
The GM 35mm f1.4 is a small and sharp prime lens when paired with the Sony A7III. This 35mm f1.4 focuses with ease in strong backlight situations with both eye AF and subject tracking. In this portrait photoshoot on the GM 35mm f1.4, I share the image quality and sharpness when taking portraits at wide open apertures.
