focal lengths

  • My first ever prime lens was a 50mm and I loved the ability to shoot wide open to create soft background blur. You don’t want to fill the entire frame with your subject’s face at this focal length, so make use of the location to add interest and enhance the composition. Here I use the leading lines of the building to draw in the viewer’s gaze. Image: Kate Kirkman
