In this episode of Photo Video Nerd Talk, I interview two fellow photographers about what the term "Professional Photographer" means to them. Then I try to formulate my own definition. Big thanks to the guys for helping me out with this video.

In this first episode I of Photo Video Nerd Talk, I go over ways to create separation from your subject to the background, and show you what they look like. Also, why stop at just one way, why not use all 4 ways together for fantastic results! 😉 Hoping to turn this into a series so leave a comment down below of other topics you'd like to see discussed! Gear used: This was shot on the Sony a6000 I use as a webcam in the standard profile with a fujinar 28mm lens, and recorded through obs. Key light is a rotolight neo 2 in it's softbox. If you have other suggestions for ways to create background separation please leave them in the comments!!!! 😃 www.montrosephoto.com

In this video I review and give my honest opinions about the Helios 44-2 58mm f2 Russian made lens adapted for use on Sony mirrorless APS-C Cameras, like the a6000, a6300, a6500, and the new a6400. I go over the lenses strengths and weak points, with example footage. And nowhere in the video do I use the word "swirly"! If you have any questions about the gear, be sure to leave them in the comments below. www.MontrosePhoto.com @montrosphoto on IG

This is my review of the cute little Fujian 35mm f1.7 CCTV lens adapted over to my Sony A6000 Mirrorless Camera. The results should be similar with any of the Sony Mirrorless APS-C cameras, like the A6300 and A6500, even the NEX series. I love the distortion and swirly bokeh this lens provides in such a tiny little package for almost no money! Lens can be found here, normally $27 US https://amzn.to/2MQtM6B *Not an affiliate link* Find more at my Website www.montrosephoto.com @montrosephoto on IG
