💡 About This Shoot:
Filmed during the golden hour and into twilight, we used only natural light with slight fill and let the sensor of the Sony A7S III do what it does best: render color, tone, and texture beautifully. The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 gives us the versatility to switch between intimate close-ups and wide environmental shots — all while maintaining sharp focus and cinematic depth.
We wanted to capture more than just visuals — we aimed to evoke a feeling, drawing you into a story told through slow motion, soft lighting, and expressive movement.
