Focal Lengths for Bondage PhotographyTutorialVideo (09:43 minute video) starring Ariel AnderssenAdded 17-11-2015Tags: documentary, tutorial Wherein we describe what focal lengths are good for people photography, and which ones you should generally avoid. We demonstrate with our fair in-house damsel. Despite the fact that she was making neighing noises like a horse and complaining how boring a topic this was, she soon shut up when I threatened her with shooting her on a 20 mm lens for the rest of eternity. The executive summary: if you can manage to shoot a full-length shot on an 85 mm lens (full frame equivalent, so about a 50 mm on APS-C or 45-ish on M43) you'll generally get a natural-looking result that flatters your model subtly, but nicely. By all means go down to a 50 mm, and a 35 mm if you are shooting in small rooms or want to show context. But 28mm is dangerous, 24mm is horrible and 20mm is ghastly. Going up to 100mm or 135mm is great if you have the space, and even a 210mm looks nice if you've got the room (I usually only have space to do that outdoors). In the video I shoot some test shots so you can compare them shot by shot and see what I'm going on about. |
