In this video, portrait photographer Miguel Quiles takes us behind the scenes of his recent location portrait shoot using the new RX1R III (Buy Now). Watch and see why Quiles calls it the ultimate compact camera for anyone looking to shoot portraits or capture everyday life:
The RX1R III is equipped with the latest AI-processing unit, a valued feature of top-of-the-line professional Alpha cameras and a favorite for Quiles. “Getting these shots was beyond simple thanks to the unbeatable autofocus of the RX1R III. Having the dedicated AI processing unit in this small camera allowed me to direct my attention towards engaging with my subject and getting the right poses and expressions.”
Quiles wanted to put the camera and its integrated lens to the test, so he decided to shoot the majority of portraits backlit to see what the backgrounds would look like at F2, especially with the sunlight streaming through the trees.“You could see in the images the beautiful defocused areas and while it might be difficult to determine from the video itself, my subject Caitlin in this shoot was sharp,” he says. “That's the magic of this lens and why it's been a staple in the RX1R lineup of cameras. It's sharp but renders with beautiful bokeh and detail that I personally love.”
The conclusion? Quiles says, “The RX1R III is a wonderful option for anyone looking for a premium point and shoot camera that gives professional results.”
