Sony GM 50mm f1.2 for Portrait Photography Behind the Scenes



Photos edited with my Disposable Film Lightroom Preset Pack:

Hey everyone! I hope you all enjoy my real world review of the new Sony GM 50mm f1.2, I share lots of different natural light looks with my portraits today in a bunch of different locations and of course unedited 100% crops of my photos so you can do a little pixel peeping. Today we’re shooting photo on the Sony A7III and A7C as well as video on the A7sIII.

Thank you so much to my team today for making this incredible shoot happen! You can check them all out below:

    I have watched many videos about this lens so far. Your video is breathtaking and amazing. Your evaluation of this lens is dreamy. So I decided to buy it. Yes, it is true.

    I noticed no matter how latest and greatest your equipment you still gonna edit the pictures in the end. So why spend so much when you can take pictures with your old cameras and edit them to look great.

    Trottel is an insult in german but your Channel is great. And you Name is trotti and not trottel, so there should be a difference

    Hi Julia, the photos turned out so good! Just one questions: how do you avoid getting PDAF striping to happen when shooting backlight? I have these annoying stripes all over my backlight photos… 😩

    Hello I wanted to ask you
    I have the SONY GM 24, 35, 135 lenses and I would like to obtain one more I am in doubt which of these … SONY 85 1.8, SONY GM 85 1.4 or SONY GM 50 1.2 which would be the best option? Thanks

    Great video, nice job Julia. I received my GM 50mm f1.2 a few days ago. I actually found some chromatic aberrations. If you go onto my channel, click my review video it is the picture I took at 05:35min. Purple fringing on the edges against strong backlight. But aside from that: I love this lens

    Are you shooting wireless video of your viewfinder in this video? I’d love to see an updated video on how you capture your footage for these videos. Props to Dan.

    I currently have my Sony set up with an Atomos Ninja Inferno, out to a Cam Link 4K to MacBook Pro with OBS then out to a 42” 4K TV for client monitoring. It’s all wired and the Atomos is just way too big to have on the camera cage. I’d love to figure out a way to do it wirelessly.

    I saw a wireless setup on the new GFX video and that reminded me to ask.

    Thanks for all the great vids!
