Bros,

I've been considering starting a YouTube and capturing images of everything going on in these tumultuous times.

I just purchased a Logitech C920S Pro HD 15.0-Megapixel Webcam, 960-001257 for the initial recording and streaming, because it has rave reviews everywhere. 100 fukking dollars because it's sold out everywhere :gucci:

Anyway, I've been checking out the A6000 and I wanted to know if any of my tech bros on here have either purchased or used the camera before. Thoughts?

Great compact camera, held me down for years til I got the A7iii 2 years ago.

The battery life is trash, and it doesn't shoot 4K tho.

Whaddup gang: I’ve decided to get back into portrait work after a 3 year hiatus. I rediscovered this thread about a week ago and am looking forward to seeing more of you guys work and also sharing my own. I didn’t totally stop shooting but I just was shooting random city landscape stuff. Recently ordered some flashpoint lights and some magmod modifiers. Does anyone else use them here?

Are they strobes by chance? I have 2 Alien Bee B800 strobes, 2 sets of wireless triggers, 1 large softbox, 1 47" Octabox, and 2 22" beauty dishes for light modifiers. I am in the same boat as you, been outta portrait work for about the same amount of time, getting ready to get back into it.

Y'all have any tips for headshots?

I do videography, but my friends and family see my camera and think I'm a photographer as well

I'll be shooting with a Panasonic GH5 and sigma 35mm 1.4

I honestly hate doing this, just helping out a friend
How'd they turn out?

You just needed a portrait lens and a highlight diffusion filter, a modern 85 or 135 combined with a 1/4 Black Pro Mist or 1/4 ClassicSoft filter would've done the trick
