The Human Prompt

We’re proud to present ‘The Human Prompt’, a new series where instead of inputting a prompt into an AI tool, we gave one to five image-makers. We followed their journey and documented their creative approaches to the same prompt, which resulted in totally unique outputs and experiences.

Can street-style and nature photography blend together? Using only the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) and NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) with the Z 7II and Z f, we paired up portrait photographer Lou Jasmine and wildlife photographer Konsta Punkka, and challenged them to answer our mystery prompt - /Capture: street spirit in the forest.

Episode 3 | Capturing the essence of your subjects with April Alexander In this episode, we join portrait and fashion photographer April Alexander as she uses the Nikon Z f for the first time.
