INSANE Night Portraits! Nikon Z8 + Sigma 135mm f/1.4 Low Light Photoshoot
In this night portrait photography session, I push the Nikon Z8 paired with the Sigma 135mm f/1.4 in a real-world low light environment. Shooting wide open at f/1.4 delivers incredible compression, razor-sharp detail, and creamy city light bokeh for a true cinematic look.
I’m also using the MegaDap ETZ Pro Plus adapter, allowing seamless lens compatibility while maintaining fast autofocus performance on the Z8—even in challenging nighttime conditions.
If you’re into low-light portraits, dramatic subject separation, and high-end nighttime photography, this setup is a serious game-changer.

🔥 The Nikon Z8 + Sigma 135mm f/1.4 is an absolute NIGHT BOKEH MONSTER. Shot wide open at f/1.4 using the MegaDap ETZ Pro Plus adapter for full autofocus performance in low light.

I absolutely enjoyed this video! I’m a big constant light shooter and once again you’ve delivered with an a video that actually shows how it’s done.
Awesome photoshoot with the cool model at a good location. Great images and video. Awesome lens as well!
Im looking forward to this weather changing so I can get back outside. It keeps teasing us here in Cincy. Love the shoot by the way bro. Keep up the great work.
Do you think an AD400 Pro ii with the same reflector be equal, worse, or better? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Do you think a Z6ii or Z6iii can achieve same end results considering resolution?
What lighting are you using? Any recommendations or reasoning behind lighting? Nice work and inspiring.
Bokeh looked nice, but as you got away from the middle of the frame it looked like a lemon or football. Similar to the Viltrox 135mm 1.8 which I have. That doesnt bother me very much but it is there. However, great model…shes cute with that country accent, beautiful and great images as always man
