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!
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.
For this portrait session, I am using the Zeiss 50mm f1.4 on the Sony A7 IV, capturing backlit images on the beach during golden hour. The combination of the lens’s wide aperture and the warm, soft light of the setting sun helped create intimate, glowing portraits with beautiful light falloff and natural skin tones.
During this photoshoot, I share my go-to tips for shooting portraits with a 24mm prime lens. I take you behind the scenes of a moody blue hour shoot with Serena using the Sony 24mm f1.4 GM on the full frame Sony A7RIV.
I captured these photos of Megan Emmett for the Candice Lee Femme Collection. You can see more of Candice Lee’s bridal gowns and hair styling work here.
The Sony A7RV is a full frame, 61 megapixel camera for stills and video. In today’s portrait photography session I am using the Sony GM 135mm f1.8 lens. For this portrait photoshoot, I am using natural light and making use of different parts of our location to create a series of photos.
The Sony GM 400mm f2.8 is a large aperture super telephoto prime lens. This lens is typically used for the likes of sports and wildlife photography, but I thought it would be fun to test it out for portrait photography. Using the Sony A7R4, I am taking portraits of Heidi in a natural light, outdoor location.
Every photographer has their own unique vision and way of capturing portraits. In this behind the scenes video, Mitch Lally and I are photographing the same couple in the same location. We are even using the same focal length - a 35mm! Watch our portrait photoshoot below to see how different our results are.
The XF 50mm f1.0 is a Fujifilm prime lens rendering sharp and dreamy looks for portrait photography. I am using the XF 50mm f1.0 on the Fujifilm X-T4 which has an X-trans APSC sensor. This 50mm is the full frame equivalent to around 76mm.
The GFX 100S is a medium format, 100MP camera from Fujifilm and for this portrait photoshoot, I’ll be using it with the GF 80mm f1.7. Download high resolution images from this camera to see all the details.
The GM 50mm f1.2 is Sony's latest premium prime lens delivering extremely sharp images. I use the GM 50mm f1.2 for portrait photography on the Sony A7III and Sony A7C. Download high res sample images.
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 Sigma 35mm f1.2 is the worlds first autofocus 35mm f1.2 lens for Sony E-mount full frame cameras. I will be using it for portrait photography on the Sony A7III at a wide open aperture of f1.2 in natural light.
I’m testing out and reviewing the Canon R5 and RF 50mm f1.2. Here are some images I took from my real world review video of the camera which you can watch down below to see how the eye AF performance and accuracy works, image quality with my unedited 100% crops, 4K and 8K video performance and low light capabilities. I also used the Canon EOS R5 with both and RF and EF lenses.
For today’s photoshoot I thought it was time to clean off the dust of my first ever camera that I used to learn how to do photography on more than 10 years ago. I have the Pentax K100D which was a trusty little camera body that I first used to learn how to shoot in manual, learn how to use natural light, how to compose my photos and in general just a way to be creative when I was fresh out of high school and interested in what photography was.
In this portrait photoshoot, I am using the Canon EOS R with the native RF 24-70mm f2.8 zoom lens. We test autofocus performance + accuracy and take a look at image quality + sharpness with 100% crop SOOC photos.
The Tamron 35mm f1.8 is a budget friendly, small and lightweight lens for Canon cameras. For this real world portrait photography review, I am using this lens on the full frame Canon 5D mkiv.
