Panasonic Lumix G7 +SIGMA 30mm f1.4 Portrait Photography in Manchester

[@myreelart659]

did you need an adapter for the lens

[@ZohaibAlam]

No, SIGMA produces a Micro Four Third option for this lens too. Therefore, it isn't need.

I think that "missing" thing is you either didn't get close enough or didn't use a long enough focal length. It's so hard for me to tell when I do it myself until I'm at my computer regretting that I didn't do better, so I totally get it. For wider angle portraits with busy backgrounds, distance to subject is key to keeping it from being distracting or making the subject too small in the image. I suffer from the same mistakes all the time and when it's too late to fix it, that's when I realize it. Keep shooting. Love your color grading and video work too.

Hi which camera to film yourself in this video? The same g7 ? Some say it's not made for photography .

[@ZohaibAlam]

Yeah, it's both captured and shot on Lumix G7 and whoever says this, they're wrong, aha! I'd suggest a good lens with that too, can really get quality shots

Great video mate

[@ZohaibAlam]

Glad you enjoyed! Thx

Great stuff my friend

Your video editing is great, but as you said yourself the photos on the day are not the best, the low angle ones are to busy imo. The wide angle lens is great for street photography but when your subject is in a street but your going for a portrait type shot, the 2 dont mix. Your urban photos are nice, the colours your going for suit you which at the end of the day is why we take photos, to please ourselves 1st. I'm not a pro photographer myself either just a hobby, but my hobby for over 40 years. Keep doing what your doing 👍👍 I did enjoy your video editing wish I could do that

[@ZohaibAlam]

40 years! Wow! You must LOVE photography then! About those shots though, I did ask couple of people from a Manchester Photography FB group. Got some constructive criticism and I'm gonna try shooting differently this time, especially with the low-angles. But cheers for your comment mate! Really appreciate it!

[@DerekComer]

@@ZohaibAlam yeah. Used film for ever, then changed to digital. Much easier. Keep doing what you enjoy. I take photos close up, some people hate it, but I love it. There is no right or wrong way to take a photo. If you like it then thsts all that matters

[@ZohaibAlam]

Precisely! My own parents don't like my photographs for goodness sake. They're happy with their iPhone cameras and apparently that's better than professional ones! 😂😂 But truly, it's all about what you like and there's always gonna be someone like you out there! What's you insta/website, wanna have a look at some of the shots mate!

[@DerekComer]
