The right equipment for portrait photography

Sony offers a wide range of different cameras in different price categories. However, there are two perfect models for portrait photography:
The Alpha 7 IV and the Alpha 7R V.

The Alpha 7 IV is Sony's most popular camera and rightly so! Equipped with a 33 megapixel full-frame sensor, this hybrid camera strikes the perfect balance between high resolution and flexibility. The outstanding autofocus system with face detection and tracking allows full concentration on image composition. The camera is not only a sensible long-term investment for beginners, but is also popular with absolute professionals. There is also a more compact alternative in the form of its sibling, the Alpha 7C II.

The Alpha 7R V is aimed at professional photographers who require high resolution with excellent image quality. With 61 megapixels, AI autofocus and even 8K video, it is an ideal all-rounder for working with customers who have particularly high quality standards. Here too, Sony offers the camera in a more compact form factor with the Alpha 7C R.

Both the a7IV and the a7R V are of course major investments. Of course, Sony also offers several options for smaller budgets. One of these is the APS-C camera ZV-E10, which comes with the versatile E-mount despite its small body.


Sony G-MASTER Lenses

The lenses of the G-MASTER series ensure unsurpassed image quality, which not only impress with their high-quality workmanship and the resulting imaging performance, but also with their compact and lightweight design. In addition, every current G-MASTER lens comes with a manual aperture ring, which is an important tool for both photographers and filmmakers.
With Sony GM lenses you can achieve maximum image quality with your Alpha camera!

The two 50mm lenses are particularly exciting for portrait photography, as is the perfect all-rounder lens, the 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II.


Lenses for beginners

There are some exciting and extremely versatile lenses in the G series for entry-level portrait photography, which are characterized by particularly high image quality despite their lower price.
