I think I even came up with my next photography project during this show!

I worked with Jen the model on a project for a lighting company. I used some new continuous fluorescent light in the studio! In the video, I talk about how I found Jen and about how I worked with her and with everyone in the studio. VIPs can log in to see an entire gallery of photos and an additional video with more of my thoughts and my editing process.

I’ve already reviewed the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art lens. You can find that full review here. I have more thoughts on this lens though, which I talk about in the video below. Also, since this is a VERY expensive prime lens, I’d like to offer as much information as possible to help you make the decision to purchase. Also below, you can download a full-sized unedited JPEG image that I took with the lens. That way, you can really take a look into the image quality.

Now, for my VIPs, log in to see a video, a HUGE gallery of images, and nine RAW files for download, along with their full-sized, edited JPEG counterparts! In the video, I go through nearly 50 photos taken during my time with the Sigma Art lens, talking in-depth about settings, reasoning and editing. The gallery is filled with images from the review, plus additional images of me and my surroundings. As for the RAW and JPEG files for download – they are ready for you to pixel-peep to your heart’s content!
