Meet the trailblazers who are pushing the boundaries of creativity with the Sony Alpha 7R V. These top creators, renowned for their breathtaking visuals and innovative storytelling, have chosen the Sony Alpha 7R V as their main camera, harnessing its cutting-edge technology and exceptional image quality to bring their artistic visions to life.

Chris Burkard

Why the Sony Alpha 7R V:

“The Sony Alpha 7R V is another one of my most used cameras in my bag. When it comes to any commercial photography job, this will be my first choice. When there is no video aspect to a project, I will be using the Sony Alpha 7R V every time. When I am capturing a commercial job or capturing landscapes, I have the highest resolution and details with this camera body. It gives me the peace of mind and the option in post production to crop in on any spot in the image and it will hold the image quality every time.” – Chris Burkard

Brooke Shaden

Why the Sony Alpha 7R V:

“This camera is my everything. I use it for shooting stills and behind the scenes video. As a self-portrait artist, the flip screen makes my job a breeze. I think back to my beginning days of photography and self-portraiture, wishing my workhorse camera would let me see what I was doing in front of the camera. Now, it’s here. Combined with having 61MP and such a high dynamic range, it’s the perfect camera for fine art. I can shoot in low light and in unexpected spaces and still come out with great image quality that I can print large for exhibitions. I simply don’t need another camera.” – Brooke Shaden

Kesha Lambert

Why the Sony Alpha 7R V:

“When the Sony Alpha 7R V was introduced it became my go-to. Some of the things that are very important when it comes to weddings is resolution, because I like to do creative crop, and I also need the performance that comes with camera bodies like the Alpha 1 and Sony Alpha 7R V.” – Kesha Lambert

Andrew Geraci

Why the Sony Alpha 7R V:

“This is my main go-to stills camera for capturing timelapse because the dynamic range and megapixel count allows me to capture at the highest resolution possible, giving me more latitude to work in post-production. I also love the image-stacking capabilities that the camera has to offer when it comes to macro photography.” – Andrew Geraci

I used the Sony Alpha 7R V to be able to capture a large range of dynamic range, color, and resolution with this image. Coupled with the Sony 50mm f/1.2 G Master to create a more graphical composition. Photo by Andrew Geraci. Sony Alpha 7R V. Sony 50mm f/1.2 G Master. 1/8000-sec., f/1.2, ISO 80

Caroline Jensen

Why the Sony Alpha 7R V:

“I use the Sony Alpha 7R V as my primary camera for many reasons, but one of the biggest advantages of this camera is the high resolution. I create images with a lot of detail and the ability to zoom in and make multiple crops from one image is essential in my workflow. My usual method is to create a large arrangement image and then slice and dice it into various crops to string together for a video.” – Caroline Jensen

Nino Rakichevich

Why the Sony Alpha 7R V:

“I love having a lot of megapixels, and at 61 megapixels the Sony Alpha 7R V  comes in on top. It allows me to crop my images without sacrificing quality. Plus, I also do big blowups of the images and having those extra megapixels makes it easy to create things like posters or fine pieces of art.” – Nino Rakichevich

Zabrina Deng

Why the Sony Alpha 7R V:

“Packing efficiently to stay mobile is vital. The Sony Alpha 7R V camera is my perfect companion, resilient in extreme weather conditions. It braved the fierce, dusty winds during a pre-wedding shoot for clients Vanessa and Nelson in the heart of the Sahara. Its incredible high dynamic range performance allows me to seamlessly transition from shooting in the midday sun to the golden hour and into the night.” – Zabrina Deng
