the windiest day in the blue mountains | Sony A7iii + Zeiss 35mm f1.4

October 7, 2019

Last month, Kristina, Dan and I decided to go on a roadtrip to the Blue Mountains to take some pictures in a new location. While it was a perfectly sunny and still day at home, by the time we got to our destination the winds were howling and were so strong it was physically pushing us around! We went ahead with our photoshoot anyway and despite the conditions we were dealing with it was one of the most fun photoshoots I’ve had, my sides hurt from laughing so much at the ridiculous situation - you can watch the behind the scenes from our day down below!

The DREAMIEST Lens I've ever used - Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM + Sony A7IV Photo Samples + A7SIII Video Examples

The 105mm focal length is really interesting to me and I personally love what it looks like. For this photoshoot, I knew I wanted a really dreamy look to the photos so I organised this photoshoot for the late afternoon so we could have that nice, soft sun for our lighting. I also chose this location so we can capture as much bokeh as possible!

Composition Tips with a 24-70mm Zoom Lens

During this photoshoot, I’m using the Sony A7IV paired with the Samyang 24-70mm f2.8 zoom lens.

This is especially helpful is fast paced environments or when taking photos on a time crunch.

Portrait Photography with Animals: Kristina & Ollie

July 15, 2019

This was one of the most special portrait photoshoots I’ve ever done with Kristina and baby Ollie the goat. Ollie is absolutely so sweet and loves being around people so even though he was having so much fun running around and jumping on Kristina, we had the best time getting some photos of the two of them together. I started off the shoot on my Canon 50mm f1.2 for some classic looking portraits, then decided to jump on my 35mm f1.4 to have a little bit more reach as Ollie moved around very fast! Watch the behind the scenes of our photoshoot below!
