It’s not that often that I get to shoot portraits in London, so it was nice to have the opportunity to photograph Kylie a couple of weeks ago.

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t playing ball, so the context of Hyde Park, where we met, isn’t shown… but never the less I hope you like these photos.

Kylie was great to work with. She’s an Australian living in London. She didn’t even mind me asking if Kylie was a normal name in Australia (yes, it is).

I was using the Samsung NX30 for the majority of the shoot, which has proven itself to be a top-notch camera. I especially liked working the 60mm f/2.8 macro lens, which I think garnered the best results here. Last year I reviewed the Samsung Galaxy NX (I still have some shots I need to blog from that…. slap on the wrist for that), and I much preferred using the NX30 – a nice combination of touchscreen, electronic viewfinder and physical buttons.

I also used the Sony A5000, which is a great little camera, but it is pretty different from the NX30. If you click on an individual picture below, you’ll be able to see which was taken with which camera.
