Fashion Photography Lens Choices

Fashion photography is a very popular genre of photography, with many sub-genres which include glamour, erotic, underwear, hair and clothing photography. I myself am a fan of fashion photography, and quite often use a 70 -300mm zoom lens at the 80mm end of the zoom for my work. I was just wandering, and hoping to learn from others experience, what lenses do other people use when covering this topic. I would like to know what the ideal focal length would be etc.

If you have an opinion, or some ideas or suggestions regarding this subject, I would be interested to read about them.

Snow On Mountains

 
Just a shot or 2 of snow in the mountains in Drakensberg, South Africa. These photos were taken from quite a distance, but you can see the snow. One can imagine how cold it was that day.

 

Mozambique Trip

Next week, I will be going to Mazambique for work, I have to do an installation. Can't say I am really looking forward to that.

What I am looking forward to is the photographic opportunities that will hopefully present themselves whilst I am there. I am going to a place Beira in Mazambique, and fro what I can gather from the web, there should be some cool stuff to photograph when I am there, provided of course there is time......will see when I get there.

Healthy Habit

Low Light Wedding Photography

I have just recently done my first weddig shoot, an Indian wedding, full of fantastic colours, and loads of atmosphere, but I struggled with the venue, as it was quite dark, and my camera kit lins, a canon 18 - 55mm struggled with it. I had to use ISO speeds of up to 1600, which added tons of noise to my photos.

My question here is, what are acceptable means to minimising the use of high ISO's at weddings, what hints and tips do other seasoned wedding photographers have for the aspiring newbie, like myself?

Some Thing Beautiful

Even the most grey looking days can add atmosphere and texture to a photo, totally changing the mood, making it more real, and less boring.

I love moody skies, and clouds, a blue sky, though beautiful, can take away from the mood of a picture.

Portfolio

HI, this is one of many images I have taken for models that require photos for their portfolios.
I have a passion for photographing people, bringing out some of their personalities in the pictures.

Let me know what you think?
