Creator Andreas Verrios, widely known as Mr. NYC Subway, is redefining urban storytelling through his lens. With a unique approach to photography that transforms everyday commuters into stunning subjects, Verrios has captivated over 2.2 million followers on TikTok. For his latest project, he set out to capture a dancer in motion on the iconic Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise, a setting that demands both precision and adaptability from his equipment. His tool of choice? The versatile Sony Alpha 7R V:
Shooting Handheld With The Sony Alpha 7R V
Verrios’ particular style of portrait photography means shooting handheld, and he says the features found in the Sony A7R V allow him to do so with ease. “With its real-time tracking features, I just tap on my subject and the AI does the rest.” He notes how these features recognize faces and eyes with pinpoint accuracy – even when his subject is moving or in a low-light environment.
How To Tell Stories In Motion
Using the Sony A7R V, Verrios expertly navigates the challenges of low-light photography, capturing the dancer’s graceful movements with unparalleled clarity. The camera’s 61-megapixel full-frame sensor ensures each image is rich in detail and depth, bringing the vibrancy of New York City to life. "This is how I tell stories in motion. Fast. Sharp. Real.”
