Testing the Nikon 35mm f1.8S | On-Location Portraits with Akhona (Gqeberha, South Africa)

Описание: In this video, I’m testing out the Nikon 35mm f1.8S lens by collaborating with the talented Akhona. Together, we set out to create portraits in two beautiful and unique locations—first in the lush garden of Savages Fine Foods, and then at the dramatic Athenaeum theater, all within our hometown, Gqeberha.

The format is straightforward: we shoot on location, and I share the results with you in real-time. From capturing soft, natural light in the garden to experimenting with moody vibes in the theater, the Nikon 35mm f1.8S lens proves its versatility.

💡 What to expect:
✨ Behind-the-scenes of the portrait session.
✨ A look at how the lens performs in real-world settings.
✨ High-resolution portrait results on screen.

Whether you’re considering the Nikon 35mm f1.8S lens or just love portrait photography, this video will give you a feel for its sharpness, bokeh, and overall performance.
