Today I squared off against my fellow Sony Artisans Scott Robert Lim, Sara France & Chris Orwig in the Sony Shootout at Portrait Masters Live. We each had 30 minutes to photograph the same model with the same gear in the same studio – but the great thing about photographers is that everyone has a different method, which makes it a lot of fun to watch. Some of you asked what the gear I used, so here you go…
