    LET THERE BE LIGHT: OVERCAST
    In this workshop, we’re going to tackle a lighting situation that a lot of Photographers really love, because they consider it to be the easiest light. Overcast light does have its drawbacks though. It’s very flat light, which is not flattering on a face. Also your subject will not have that beautiful light in their eyes which brings them to life unless you know how to get the best results in Overcast light.

    Let me show you ways to pose your subjects and use environmental elements to create light and shadows upon your subject. I’ll also demonstrate the use of an Ice Light which is something that I am asked about frequently. See how I use this easy, portable convenient light to sculpt my subject and flatter them. As a photographer, you should be prepared to shoot in ANY light that presents itself. Join me today and find out how to make the best of Overcast light and learn to use very, very simple elements to create a different lighting situation than the one available to you!

    It's the 200mm f/2 most of the time for her.

    Very Large and heavy. I think a 105mm 1.4 is the ideal portrait lens. 200mm f2 blurs the background excessively to a point where you might aswell just shoot at the studio with colourful and patterned backdrops.

    I'm using the Nikon Z 85mm f/1.8 for these portraits. It's ridiculously sharp at 1.8 and creates great background separation. The Nikon lens roadmap has an 85mm f/1.2 and 135mm f/1.8 coming in 2020. Those might replace my 85 if the sharpness continues to be this good.

    Yes the new nikon z primes are very sharp even wide open, in particular the 24 and 50mm f1.8, they are even sharper in relative terms. The larger mount diameter and shorter flange distance has enabled to produce higher quality lenses. It's a shame that is not stopping me from switching to sony.
