Nikon Zf + 85mm f1.2 & 50mm f1.8 Backlight Portrait Photography

Nikon Zf + 85mm f1.2 & 50mm f1.8 Backlight Portrait Photography



All photos edited with my Florence Lightroom Preset Pack:

Hey everyone! I’m excited to share this creative photoshoot behind the scenes on the Nikon Zf with 2 lenses. First I have the Z 85mm f1.2 S which has the most stunning bokeh! The second lens I have is the more budget friendly alternative if you still want dreamy looking portraits which is the Z 50mm f1.8 S. I have lots of unedited, SOOC photos to share with you in today’s video, plus my edited version as well. If you haven’t seen it yet, please check out my Nikon Zf review for my full thoughts on this camera body! Let me know which ones were your favourite photos from this photoshoot in the comments!

    Again whenever you post a video while you use some Nikon gear, I will always get excited, so at least I must give one comment for exchange! If you get one Zf on the future, get a smallrig grip, and you going to love it more! Great work as always!

    Maybe next time you will compare 85 1.2 to 85 1.8
    I'm waiting for a video like this 😉

    The 85 f1.2 looks too big for this camera. How are the ergonomics?

    Can I just say that I love that no matter how many photoshoots I watch you do you always get excited and are enthusiastic about the whole process. It really shows how much you love what you do!! I am the same way! ❤😊

    I love them all but what stands out are the photos with the seashell! I also really like the 50mm with the full background since it’s such a beautiful background. It really adds to the portrait. The photo of her side view where her hair is backlit is really pretty! There were so many to mention that were beautiful! I used to have a Nikon (before Nikon Z’s) but I changed to Sony.

    Hello nice shots what type of screen recorder are you using? Thanks

    Love your content! Do you do matrix or hilight weighted metering? My ZF is on its way and my Plena will be completely removing the backgrounds, but I’ll have to use the 50 for “context”! ❤️🙏🏾😂

    It's cool that you're in the group of photography influencers getting Nikon preproduction cameras. Hopefully younger photographers will consider Nikon cameras, even as they see Sony and Canon most often on YouTube.

    While all the images are stunning, my favorites are with the "sun on your face" [7:00}

    Dear god, that F/1.2 at 85mm is insane. Must be a filter diameter of about 2 meters though hahaha
