Tom is a ‘direct mail marketing’ copywriter who approached me via Instagram to get some professional looking shots for use on his social media & website.
We chose Leigh Old Town, Essex, as the location for the shoot which worked out pretty well. It was an overcast day too so we benefitted from some nice soft light.

真棒，学习到很多知识👏🏻
Amazing !! you sold me this lens mate
I am going to try this with my Nikon D5500 and my Youngnou 50mm lens
Excellent selection of portraits
Hi, which mount do you use to rig your go pro?
These shots are excellent! Thnx for the video!
Wow amazing photo skills…. 💙
What would you say about sigma 56 for video work???
Which one do you prefer the most for portraits? 16mm or 56mm?
the weather is so nice and cold I couldn't stand a minute outside in Thailand
Amazing work.!! I have a suggestion kindly mention picture settings in your videos as well for more understanding.!!!
Hello Stuart, you really have a great eye for composition and make great use of the Sigmas. I am in a bit of a pickle, moving systems from Fuji (selling to fund the smaller setup). I just picked up a Canon m50 and trying to build my kit for the purposes of portrait, self-portrait, environmental, travel, some food and event uses. I picked up the 30mm 1.4 as a standard and have the 16mm 1.4 on the way and can easily go the 56 1.4 to complete my ranges.
However, I've found at portrait session w/models though, it's bit disruptive to keep changing lenses and so I am thinking to do 16 1.4, 56 1.4 and in between the older, yet very sharp Sigma 17-50 f2.8 on an adapter.. I have just received it and it's a good one lens solution but it's heavy…. any thoughts or suggestions thank you
How far do you need to be to get full-body on 56 it seems about 3 meters away..
Cheers from Canada!

I'm so confused as to how you only have 700 followers you are probably the most talented photographer l.ve seen on youtube. Keep it up man.
Hi Stuart Rodwell, i am your new subscriber 🙂 I really like all your photos and your style of editting. I hope you will do the tutorial on editting. I want to learn something from your amazing work. Thanks ya
Good stuff my man. Really enjoyed this video. All love to smaller creators that provides quality content like this. 👍
These are awesome. Would love to see the Lightroom work on these
just secured(out of pure boredom luck with isolation and all scrolling the local market) the Sony a6500, Sigma 30mm F1.4 and a Sony 24-70mm F3.5-5.5, SmallRig Cage, Boya Shotgun mic, a zhiyun crame m gible and a 500gb external drive for woobing 800USD!!!. Jumping from a Nikon D3200 and i cant wait to get this camera in the mail.
Absolute love your videos and im definitely subbing.
Another great video Stuart – fun insight, thank you for sharing. How did you record this? GoPro?
Excellent
Awesome video man! Could you go over your editing process for these photos? Were any presets used?
Hello, how do you get the look? Do you use luts or photo profiles for this? I like your photos!
