In this video, I am putting this tiny pocket camera to the test and doing a full portrait fashion photo session to see what it can do. I also go over how I generally conduct my portrait and fashion shoots.

    I think with this type of camera, you have to change the way how you shoot quite a bit. What I see in you images is, that you try to shoot it, like you would on your fullframe but there you're style is influenced by using a shallow DOF. Thats not what the RX100VII can give you and so the images look like there is something missing. But here is the thing, think more of editorial shots where you shoot apertures of F8 or 10. You have to think a little bit more, when the fore- and background are getting in focus together. It's a different way of composition. I don't wan't to stop you in doing what you do, but maybe think about tweaking your style a bit, to get this little camera into beast mode. ✌

    • @maherzi_
      @maherzi_ Před měsícem

      Thats interesting. Didnt think about it this way 🤔 That makes sense because I usually shoot on prime lenses as well. For me I dont ever clearly see “my style”. Its an ever dynamic thing I believe. Using this camera has definitely affected how I shoot even with my full frame camera. The more I use it the more things change organically. Id be interested to see what you think of the next video/set of images. I wonder if “my style” has changed enough 🤔

    hi maher..am actually a beginner level photographer and i used to do mobile photography, but due to its limited features am not able to capture the shots that i want, so while i was looking for a compact camera i found this one and sony zv1 mark 2 which was released last year. so what i wanted to ask you one question.This camera is released in 2019, so buying this camera now, would it be a right option compared to zv1 mark 2 regarding menu or some settings or touch sensitivity and all. doesnt it make us feel outdated of technology regarding menu or touch senstivity? so basically if you want to my usage....right now am not into any particular photography, i just wanted to do everything with the camera. jus capture all the beautiful things around.

    • @maherzi_
      @maherzi_ Před měsícem

      I totally see what you mean. I personally prefer this camera simply because of the range. Although its not the latest interface. Once you get used to it, its not that much of a deal breaker. I am used to using the Sony A7IV which has the latest menu, but making that sacrifice for the range, for me is worth it. especially if you want to try taking pictures of a lot of different things. Hope this helps. let me know if you have anymore questions!

      One of the things I recently kinda learned actually is Slowing down. Realizing that there infinite things to do anywhere I go and doing the least. Instead of giving into FOMO and following a check list, slowing down enough to adopt new rituals that can equally make me happy. Its like the normal rituals but with a flavor of the place I am in.
