This has got to be one of the cheapest autofocus lenses available for Canon DSLR cameras, I picked up mine used for about $30 USD. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a compact and affordable prime lens offering a wide aperture for low-light shooting and creative depth of field control aka bokeh! This is a great lens for beginners and gives a very budget friendly entry into DSLR photography. These are the photos I captured with it.
The Tokina Firin 100mm f2.8 Macro is a prime lens for Sony E-mount. I am using this lens on the Sony A7IV in the studio. I wanted a minimal look for today's beauty shoot so I am using the Silvertone backdrop from Superior. I styled Bella in an off the shoulder top so we don't have any outfits or fabrics distracting from the portraits.
The Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 Di III-A VC RXD is a zoom lens for Sony APS-C, E-mount mirrorless cameras. This lens is roughly the equivalent to a 24-105mm f4 lens on a full-frame camera. In this portrait photoshoot with the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8, I am using this lens on Sony's APS-C A6600.
The Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon EF is a budget friendly, fast prime lens. I am using the Sigma 35mm f1.4 on the Canon 5D mark4 for portrait photography.
Taking self portraits as a photographer can be beneficial for many reasons. When I first started photography and was learning my way around a camera, I would regularly take self portraits.
Every photographer has their own unique vision and way of capturing portraits. In this behind the scenes video, Mitch Lally and I are photographing the same couple in the same location. We are even using the same focal length - a 35mm! Watch our portrait photoshoot below to see how different our results are.
For today’s photoshoot I am finally using the Canon EOS-1 V again, this time with Portra 160 & 400 film. I over, on and under exposed a few of these shots to see which style I preferred, then while scanning the film I brought back the exposure so all my images looked cohesive. I was personally leaning towards always preferring what skin tones looked like in the overexposed images while scanning, so maybe next time I shoot on a roll of Portra I will overexpose a little more often.
Watch the behind the scenes of our photoshoot below! And please subscribe to my channel, I upload new photography related videos every single week. I also shared some of the digital images I shot on this photoshoot at the end of the blog post.
