Hi Everyone, I'm fairly new to the forum and am always looking improve my photography! Any feedback would be very helpful, so that I can remember them for the next shoot (and improve)! Here is the link to my page https://www.modelmayhem.com/3716517 Thanks so much! Jon Dec 29 15 08:55 am Link JPWPhoto wrote: Jon from your MM BIO ...pursue my main passion of portraiture...

I have been a long time reader of forums and photography guides, however I always was lacking on the going out and taking photos part haha. I completely agree with you with the focal length, my 70-200mm is my go-to for portraits/sports however I think the ability to communicate is hindered at the longer focal lengths, so i popped on the 50mm for those reasons. However i must tell you, the sharpness of the Sigma 50mm Art is as good or better than my 70-200mm, it is unreal how well the optics are for this lens, despite the having very little compression. I am looking to trade it in for the 85 f1.2 or 100mm/135mm because of the compression is better with the 50mm. I will absolutely work towards directing more (I believe that you must bring out the best in your talent when you are shooting), just trying to manage all the tiny details is proving challenging haha. I've taken a great interest in studio work and I will be posting some work soon. Would I post here again to get some critiques?

The 70-200mm is indispensable for wedding and sport shooters... Here zooms make sense are indeed are the defacto standard for weddings JPWPhoto wrote: Wise if you wish to specialize in portraiture and/or beauty... The AF 135mm 2.0 DC Nikkor is my choice for beauty while the 85mm 1.4 is possibly the most versatile professional lens I use... if I had to chose only one lens for the studio it would be my AF 85mm 1.4D Nikkor...

Shoot with a full team (hair, makeup and wardrobe) only then can you hope to take your visual statement to the next level... Dec 30 15 08:12 am Link |
