Wide Angle Portraits with Lara
Common knowledge dictates that a 50mm lens (in full frame terms) is about the widest lens you should use for portraiture. But in the last year or so I fell in love with the 28mm field of view and I wanted to try if I can use it as a portrait lens.
Lara’s mom responded to a social media post in which I asked for a guinea pig model. Many years ago I photographed Lara and her sister a number of times when they were still adorable little kids. Now, Lara is still adorable but a grown up young woman who even made it to the finals of Miss Belgium. We picked it up where we left it years ago and just walked around looking for pictures.
I consider this wide angle portrait shoot a succes. I’m still having a hard time finding the right angles to avoid distortion but when the stars align, I really love this look. What do you think?
