I recently had the chance to try out the Sony A7. The mirrorless, full frame camera was different from my usual Nikon and Canon DSLRs! You can find out about my experience with the A7 in the video below, but here’s an example photo from my photo shoot with Christina the model.

In the video below, I talk to you about the benefits and drawbacks of using work lights for photography.
