That Natural light was nice too, as well as that final shot looking down on her left side! Oh they were all good!! just mentioning my standouts! Keep doing what you do! BTW, how you liking that Z8?

[@TMIDD]

Thank you! I'm glad I got to try it out and take it for a test spin courtesy of Nikon because I think I will go ahead and purchase the Z8 for good after using it these last months.

Nicely done

[@TMIDD]

Thanks!

[@proimagerah]

Amazing! I had both sigma lenses before but I think I prefer the portability of the 85. The edits and shots here is top tier though

[@bigdill_3922]

I agree the 85mm is the way to go. The 1.2 that is.

[@TMIDD]

Totally agree! The space required for the 105 would hold me back

[@proimagerah]

@@TMIDD I’m mainly shooting with 135 now. I gotta stand way back but idk the compression is what’s keeping me with it

[@TMIDD]

@@proimagerah so ou use a walkie talkie to talk to your model huh haha jk

[@proimagerah]

@@TMIDD nah I just yell at her 🤣🗣️

[@tronmosesmedia4816]

Loving the shots...Epic. I guess Chicago really is the Windy City because he was struggling to hold that light. That 105 might be my next purchase.

[@AnthonyToglife]

Bruhhhh, it was a workout holding that joint haha. After it knocked me back a couple of times, I was determined to own that light going forward 😂

Thank you, do you prefer the 105 or 85

[@filmstudiojapan]

Really nice model lighting and all around great shoot.

[@TMIDD]

Thanks man

[@filmstudiojapan]

Been meaning to add to this that though I know the natural light in this shot is not what you wanted, it's actually part of what makes these shots so great imho. Her grey dress, matches the mood with cool muted tones. Very reminiscent of my early days using my Voightlander F/0.95 on my lil panasonic (first lens I fell in love with). Her being about as gorgeous as gorgeous does get also helps. @@TMIDD
