Enhance expression with your lens

/4 Comments/in , /by

When asked what is your favorite lens for portraits I always seem to surprise people when I tell them “whatever I want to show”

Somehow people seem to think that for portraiture there it always one focal length that you love and stick with. However reality is different of course. 

Every focal length renders a person different and sometimes you want that classic look with a slightly shallow dof and nice “flat” look and you go for the 100mm but sometimes you also want a little bit more “depth” and you might opt for a 50mm. 

However. 

Sometimes it’s also really cool to use a wide angle and enhance a persons expression like in this shot. 

So the next time you shoot a portrait….

Experiment 😉

There are no rules 😉

Learn what every piece of gear does and grow in your trade/hobby and be able to add mood and power to your shots.

    Right on Frank!
    This makes soooo MUCH SENSE.
    On another note: Kudos on the posts, I do enjoy reading them (no matter how long some of them gets), I’m just to lazy to comment at times. Just letting you know it’s appreciated.
