NEW MODEL ALERT! Studio Portrait Session w/ Jam | Sony A1 + Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM #portraitphotography

Today we're back in the studio with one of the newest additions to the Quan L. Smith Photography model team, Jam. Although we've worked together several times before, every session continues to strengthen our photographer and model chemistry, resulting in stronger portraits and more natural expressions. In this behind-the-scenes portrait session you'll see exactly how I photographed Jam using the incredible Sony A1 paired with the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens and a simple Godox lighting setup. I'll also share my experience experimenting with Adobe Photoshop's new AI Harmonize feature and discuss how it can help portrait photographers create seamless composites while still emphasizing the importance of getting everything right in camera first. Whether you're an experienced portrait photographer or just beginning your journey, I hope this video inspires you to simplify your lighting, focus on connection with your model, and continue pushing your creativity.
