RE: Photographing portraits at night - In depth guide (4 Photos)
It's all depends on the tech, unfortunately. No matter how skilled you are, if your camera can't handle low light, you can't as well.

I would agree to a certain extent @nameless-berk . My last camera was a Nikon 3300, which is a very entry level and really terrible with low light. So most likely with a camera like that, doing a shoot at night like this would be very difficult because it has such bad ISO performance. However, like I said in my tips in section 1, there are some ways you counteract this issue. I would recommend using a flash, so that you can lower the ISO substantially, otherwise, if your model stands very still, you can use a tripod which will let you take shots as low as 1/5th sec while still keeping the photo sharp. But yes, ultimately, a better camera will give you much better low light performance. Infact that is the exact reason why I upgraded my camera :)
